HUNTINGTON BEACH – Los Alamitos only needed one play to make its presence felt Friday night in a 69-0 win against Fountain Valley at Huntington Beach High.
Oscar Brown V took the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown as the Griffins deflated the Barons’ homecoming crowd just 15 seconds into the contest.
Caoch Ray Fenton had fun watching his team’s players showcase their talent in their Sunset League opener.
“We have some really athletic kids on our team and OB (Brown) got the chance to catch the ball in some space and showed everybody who he is and what he can do,” Fenton said.

Los Alamitos (5-1, 1-0) played a flawless first half and was able to move the ball with ease and score in a myriad of ways.
The Griffins scored through the air, on the ground, returned an interception 102 yards for a touchdown in addition to the special teams TD on the first play.
“Tonight was just one of those games where everything went our way,” Fenton said. “I think our kids executed really well on our side of the ball.”
Quarterback Cade McConnell’s performance in Los Alamitos’ 34-point first quarter was sensational. He ended up up completing nine of 10 passes for 189 yards and four TDs.

“I think the game is slowing down for him and he has some talented receivers around him,” Fenton said of the junior.
One of those talented receivers, Kenui Huey, caught four passes for 86 yards and two TDs and his pick-six in the second quarter went 102 yards. Huey’s defensive score was one of two by Los Al, the other one coming on a 46-yard interception return by Bobby Blandino.
Fenton was proud of Huey’s hard work and commitment and how it has produced plays like his pick-six.
Midway through the second quarter, the Barons (4-2, 0-1) were facing a fourth-and-goal from the 2 when Brandon Krause took a pitch and then attempted to find an open receiver. Huey read the play and intercepted the pass and returned it for a touchdown.
Zack Wagoner added a pair of rushing touchdowns late in the second quarter to give Los Alamitos a 62-0 lead at halftime.
Fountain Valley had another chance to avoid the shutout in the fourth quarter as Jackson Weddle forced a fumble and recovered it at the Griffins 4.
Los Alamitos’ defense kept the Barons out of the end zone after four unsuccessful plays to preserve its first shutout of the season.
