Big performances, big blowouts

I can’t say I’m very surprised RB Delano Howell had a standout performance in Hart’s 50-10 victory over Claremont on Friday.

Yes, everybody knew going into it that it’d be a lopsided affair and, like most of Hart’s games, Howell played a big-time role, rushing for 231 yards and three TDs, the first of which came on a 49-yard run less than a minute into the game.

Normally, a game like that would be something to rave about. Unfortunately, all I’m going to say is let’s see if Howell can do something like that against Loyola this week.

But Howell wasn’t the only guy who played a role in a blowout.

QB Graham Wilbert over at cross-Santa Clarita Valley rival Valencia completed 23 of 33 passes for 241 yards in the Vikings’ 56-7 victory over St. John Bosco. I’ll cut Valencia a break for playing this one, though. After all, they played Birmingham and Orange Lutheran on consecutive weekends this season.
