HUNTINGTON BEACH – San Clemente’s football team washed away a maddening, four-game losing streak Thursday, but the Tritons weren’t completely clean after navigating another heart-pounding fourth quarter for a 31-24 victory against Edison.

They also needed spiritual cleansing, as San Clemente coach Jaime Ortiz described it.

After the postgame handshake with the Chargers (2-3), the Tritons (2-4) quickly retreated to their locker room beneath the bleachers at Huntington Beach High to scream, celebrate, dance and say goodbye to four painful losses, three of which were by a combined six points.

“These kids have faced a ton of adversity and I wanted to take an opportunity to celebrate with them,” Ortiz said.

“They’re the ones who are grinding. I told them for a couple minutes, ignore your cheerleaders, ignore your family, ignore everybody else and let’s focus on each other and love each other back.”

San Clemente, tied with Edison at No. 13 in the county rankings, snapped its drought by coming through in the fourth quarter, something it wasn’t able to do enough in the past four weeks.

Senior running back RJ Donaldson capped a swift three-play drive with a 25-yard touchdown run to give the Tritons a 31-24 lead with 2:44 left in the fourth quarter.

Donaldson scored his second rushing touchdown after a leaping interception by first-year senior cornerback Jake Brannon about a minute earlier at his 40. On the next play, Oklahoma State-committed quarterback Brendan Costello broke a 30-yard run to set the stage for Donaldson.

Edison and sophomore quarterback Braeden Boyles, starting for the injured Patrick Angelovic (collar bone), drove to the Tritons 27 in the closing seconds but were stopped on fourth-and-7 with 20 seconds left. Senior Kade Coury helped tackle Boyles for a loss on fourth down as the Tritons finally flipped their script.

San Clemente led in the fourth quarter in each of its defeats, including a 21-20 loss against Corona del Mar last week.

“It’s really, really emotional to get this win,” said Costello, who passed for 179 yards and one score and rushed for 124 yards and one touchdown.

“(It’s) just the senior leadership. Everyone keeping everyone together, everyone keeping their heads high … and pushing through the adversity.”

Edison showed plenty of fight, too. San Clemente led 21-3 with less than minute left in the first half but the Chargers scored just before intermission. They took a 24-21 lead on a 7-yard TD run by Mike Walters with 8:08 left in the fourth quarter.

Walters rushed for two touchdowns in the second half but the Tritons’ defense – playing without leading tackler Rob Farney (knee) – also nabbed two interceptions. San Clemente had four takeaways leading to 14 points while Edison forced two turnovers leading to 10 points.

GARDEN GROVE – After a heartbreaking loss in overtime last week and with the start of league play a week away, Santiago was in need of a victory in its nonleague game against Anaheim on Thursday.

The Cavaliers rebounded nicely, taking a two-touchdown lead at the half point and coming away with a 21-7 victory.

Santiago (3-2) held the Colonists (2-3) scoreless until the final seconds.

The victory took away the sting of Santiago’s 17-14 overtime loss to Magnolia last week.

“Obviously, the result is important, but after a tough loss like last week it was more about getting back to preparing the way that we prepare,” Santiago coach Brandon Croft said. “I think we got away from that a little bit and they showed tonight they were really prepared for what was coming.”

Croft was also pleased with his team’s long passing game, which hadn’t been much of a factor through the first four games but accounted for the Cavaliers’ first two touchdowns.

The pass-catch tandem of quarterback Bernardo Monroy and wide receiver Ulises Mendez accounted for Santiago’s two touchdowns in the first half.

The Cavaliers ran eight consecutive running plays on their first drive before Monroy threw a deep pass to Mendez, who hauled the ball in on the run and sprinted to the end zone for a 55-yard touchdown.

On first-and-10 from the Santiago 33, Monroy threw a short pass over the middle to Mendez.The Anaheim defender gambled by going for the interception but was unsuccessful, which left a clear opening to the end zone for Mendez, who ran the rest of the way for a 67-yard touchdown.

Monroy, a junior, wound up going 7 of 11 passing for 179 yards and two touchdowns and Mendez finished with three receptions for 149 yards.

“First thing is I’ve got to thank my linemen,” Monroy said. “The team did a phenomenal job of just blocking and giving me time to throw.”

Anaheim couldn’t get anything going offensively through much of the game, partly because of drive-killing penalties but also due to Santiago’s defense.

Alfredo Mojica, Erik Morales, Oscar Ramirez each a recorded a sack for Santiago.

Guillermo Mezza got Anaheim on the board with a 10-yard touchdown run with 32.6 seconds left in the game.

The Cavaliers open their Garden Grove League schedule Thursday, Sept. 27 against Rancho Alamitos at Bolsa Grande High School.

Anaheim plays Savanna in its Orange League opener on Thursday, Sept. 27.

WESTMINSTER – The big-play ability of Whittier’s was on display all game long as the Cardinals cruised to a 49-14 victory over Westminster on Thursday night at Westminster High.

The Cardinals (5-1), who feature 1,000 yard-rusher Jonathan Arceneaux, took a different approach against the Lions (0-6) and focused on their passing game from the outset.

Whittier was led by quarterback JC Lopez (334 passing yards) and the receiving duo of Jasper Mendoza and Angel Ruiz. Mendoza had a team high 235 yards on seven catches and two touchdowns and Ruiz scored three touchdowns (two receiving, one rushing).

The Cardinals’ first play from scrimmage was a precursor of things to come as Lopez’s quick screen pass to Mendoza turned into an 80-yard score.

Whittier coach Visko Ancich was pleased with the execution of the first touchdown.

“We had talked about the first play of the game for the whole week,” Ancich said. “We ran through that (play), and if we got a certain look we were going to take advantage of it.

“They (Westminster) wanted to make sure they didn’t let Arceneaux get free, but our quarterback makes decisions at the line of scrimmage and he’s allowed to make those calls. About half of our pass plays in the first half were his calls (audible) off of run plays.”

Westminster is still searching for its first victory of the season under first-year coach Willy Puga.

“I liked our effort, we made some plays, we just need to make more,” Puga said. “We’ve shown at times we can play with these teams so far, but we’re just not maintaining any type of momentum.”

After falling behind 14-0, the Lions responded with a scoring drive led by QB Malachi Mesa and capped by Lloyd Maia’s 12-yard run to cut the deficit in half with 4:04 left in the first quarter.

Lopez hit Mendoza on another long TD pass on the Cardinals next drive, this one for 69-yards to give Whittier a 21-7 lead.

Ancich was in awe of his wide receiver’s final stats.

“I knew he had a good game but that’s pretty fantastic,” Ancich said.

Mendoza’s one-handed catch in the second quarter led to Arceneaux’s 65-yard touchdown run and a 28-7 advantage midway through the second quarter.

Despite all the attention Arceneaux received, the shifty sophomore was still able to eclipse the century mark finishing with 162 yards on 15 carries and three touchdowns.

GARDEN GROVE – Fairmont Prep’s Brian Wright scored three return touchdowns – two punt returns, one kickoff return – and Mariano Chacon returned an interception 100-plus yards for a TD in the Huskies’ 55-12 nonleague win over Bolsa Grande on Thursday night at Bolsa Grande High.

Wright finished the game with 263 all-purpose yards.

“He can run, there is no doubt about it,” Fairmont Prep coach Fred Romo said. “He stretches the field for us. He always has a chance to go deep.”

Fairmont Prep (2-3) jumped on Bolsa Grande early. The Huskies took advantage of Bolsa’s kickoff return alignment and recovered an onside kick on the opening kickoff.

On the second play from scrimmage, Lui Ala Jr. threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Chacon to give the Huskies a 7-0 lead just 38 seconds into the game.

After the Fairmont Prep defense forced a three-and-out, a snap sailed over the head of the Matadors and into the end zone for a safety to extend the Huskies’ lead to 9-0.

On the ensuing Bolsa Grande possession, Wright returned a punt 50 yards for a touchdown to put Fairmont Prep ahead by 16.

Chacon intercepted a Matadors pass in the end zone and returned it over 100 yards to give Fairmont Prep a 22-0 lead at the end of the first quarter despite its offense only being on the field for two plays.

After a Bolsa Grande touchdown, Wright returned the ensuing kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown to regain Fairmont Prep’s 22-point lead.

Fairmont Prep forced a turnover on the first play of the third quarter and took possession in Bolsa Grande territory. Ala and Chacon connected for their second touchdown of the game, this time on a 23-yard pas.

Wright scored his final touchdown of the night on a 38-yard punt return in the third quarter to put Fairmont Prep ahead 48-6.

Huskies freshman running back Jason Terry ran the ball frequently and effectively in the second half. Terry finished with 132 yards on 12 carries and a pair of touchdowns.

“He is getting comfortable being the lead back,” Romo said of Terry. “Towards the end of that game he figured out where the gaps were and he runs with his shoulders square. He’s a good football player.”

The Huskies scored four of their eight touchdowns on defense and special teams.

Bolsa Grande (1-4) moved the ball effectively, but turnovers and stalled drives led to the lopsided score. Matador’s quarterback George Hernandez threw for 206 yards and two touchdowns.

“Some guys played well, some guys did their own thing,” Bolsa Grande coach Alfredo Silva said. “As coaches we have to catch that sooner and clean that up.”

Hernandez completed touchdown passes to Jaylen Todd and Alfredo Espinoza. Espinoza led the Matadors with 85 receiving yards and had two interceptions on defense.

The Matadors begin Garden Grove League play against the league’s new addition, Loara, next week. Fairmont Prep plays an Academy League game against Ribet Academy next week and then plays its final nonleague game against Godinez.

“We had to get a win tonight,” Romo said. “We played very poorly last week so it was important to get back on the horse.”

A Mediterranean sensuality infused Erika Cavallini’s spring collection, with the designer working a warm palette of spice tones for a fuss-free wardrobe that hinted at exotic travel.
She draped and knotted fabrics, and lopped off sleeves, revealing a glimpse of shoulder here, a flash of hip bone there, but her concept of seduction was not demonstrative. There was a quiet ease to the flowing tunic tops, vestal gowns and mannish pants coupled with oversized shirts.
Slouchy cream pants were cinched with a triple-wrap brown leather belt, while a plain rope belt lent a rustic edge to a flowing caftan in a patchwork of vintage silk scarf prints.
Outfits like a burlap sundress and a pajama-striped jumpsuit came with giant matching totes. They might not meet cabin baggage restrictions, but somehow, you felt these  confident women would get where they’re going regardless.

Vivetta Ponti’s show notes describe her spring collection as a “technicolor dream” and it played like a dream indeed — at times vivid and imaginative, but also confusing, non-linear and a bit absurd.
Ponti seemed to approach femininity from a little girl’s perspective, a mix of things she might wear when she grows up (a mint green pouf-sleeved bra top over green lace bike shorts, a nascent and woeful trend this season) and things she could wear now (a sweet, white tiered dress with a butterfly embroidered at the bib).
A white macramé jacket and miniskirt inlayed with swans, rainbows, rosettes and bows, or a yellow tulle prom dress with long-stem yellow roses embroidered at the bodice can only work with a healthy dose of irony, but Ponti played it too straight.
