Dana Hills Overpowers Fountain Valley

DANA POINT —  After a sluggish first quarter, Dana Hills High School dominated Fountain Valley en route to a 27-6 victory Friday night at Spencer Stadium.

The Dolphins got two rushing touchdowns in both the second and fourth quarters, and outgained the Barons in total offense, 267-75, in the final three quarters. Fountain Valley scored on the game’s first possession on quarterback Marcos Diaz’s four-yard touchdown pass to David Dardis. From that point, however, Dana Hills controlled the game.

Marcus Jenkins put the Dolphins on the board with a 26-yard touchdown run with 3:52 left to play in the first half, and John Ashley’s extra point gave Dana Hills the lead for good.

Dana Hills’ Shaun Coleman scored the first of his two touchdowns on a one-yard run with four seconds to go in the second quarter. The touchdown was set up by Marcelle Franklin’s 30-yard gain on a screen pass from Albie Sukut with 16 seconds left.

Coleman scored again from a yard out early in the fourth quarter to give Dana Hills a 20-6 lead. Scott Duster completed the scoring with a 47-yard end run with 3:46 left in the game.

After the first quarter, Diaz was 3 for 15 and finished 7 for 20 for 95 yards and the touchdown. Franklin led Dana Hills with 58 yards on 13 carries.
