John McFadden Eastlake High School Football Coach: "We knew El Camino had a lot of speed, as we played good teams, El Camino is the quickest team ever, everytime they score touchdowns it is all on the big plays but our backs." "Roman Cole and Parker Merrifield did well at running the football and give credit to our offensive line, they made the key blocks when we ran a new offensive called the Wing T and the plays worked well for us and know what their responsibilities are and they have open the holes for us and our quarterback has been so good."
"Our defense made 2 good interceptions that were the key plays for our squad Maximus Susi came up caught the ball in the middle for a 14 yard score and Quinton Johnson is a heck of an athlete waded in at time and now is playing high level football as he ran 47 yards for the other interception score." said Coach McFadden.

With the win the Eastlake Titans improves to 5-1 and will take on the Crusaders of Mater Dei High School next Friday while El Camino with the loss fall to 1-4 will take on the Broncos of Rancho Bernardo in a homecoming contest.
