Tustin didn’t waste any time throwing its weight around on Friday night.

The Tillers scored early, often and in a variety of ways in the first half against visiting El Modena, paving the way for a one-sided 51-7 victory in the Delta League matchup.

Tustin’s first-string defense was just as overwhelming, holding the Vanguards to negative-16 yards in the first half while the offense built a 48-0 lead.

Both sides agreed to a running clock the entire second half.

“It’s probably the most complete win we’ve had in my tenure as a head coach,” said Anthony Lopez, who’s in his seventh season at the helm at Tustin. “Offense, defense, special teams. Everybody that touched the ball did a good job.”

Tustin (7-1, 3-0) scored on the opening drive of the game against the Vanguards (4-4, 2-1), as sophomore quarterback Ayden Edwards hit junior wide receiver Jeremiah Salvant on a slant and he outraced the defense for a 49-yard touchdown.

Edwards completed 13 of 16 passes for 243 yards and four touchdowns, all in the first half.

Fullerton 21, Marina 0: The Fullerton football team used a combination of a stingy defense and explosive plays to earn a victory over Marina.

The Indians (6-2, 2-1) move into a second-place tie with Sunny Hills (6-2, 2-1), which they will face next week.

After a winless 0-10 season last year, Fullerton is possibly one victory away from securing a CIF-SS playoff berth.

“When we started this thing, our goal was not to rebuild over the course of three or four years,” Indians coach Pete Karavedas said. “It was to go from an 0-10 season to the playoffs in year one. And we’re one game away from that right now.”

Big plays were on full display for the Indians offense in the first half as they scored three touchdowns, all of which were over 40 yards.

Luke Viramontes scored on a 75-yard pass from Sergio Andrade on the opening drive, Caden Wise made it 14-0 on a 65-yard run and Cyrus Aviles added a 43-yard run on fourth-and-1.

Costa Mesa 29, Bolsa Grande 6: Costa Mesa grabbed sole possession of first place in the Tango League with a victory over Bolsa Grande.

“It’s fantastic,” Costa Mesa coach Gary Gonzalez said. “Hats off to Bolsa Grande. They played hard. Their D-line was physical. They had some special guys on that line, and they bottled us up a couple times, and kudos to them.”

Costa Mesa senior Andrew Waiss threw for a touchdown and ran for two more to pace the Mustangs. Waiss threw for 91 yards and ran for 92 more. Gavin Garza ran for 125 yards on 22 carries. Justin Hernandez caught three passes for 68 yards and a touchdown.

Corona del Mar 21, Villa Park 3: The Corona del Mar football team didn’t need big plays or any razzle-dazzle in its Bravo League game against Villa Park.

The Sea Kings scored their points on sustained drives.

“That was kind of one of our focuses going into the week,” said Sea Kings quarterback Brady Annett, who completed 9 of 15 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score. “So, we took it to them physically and then I didn’t need to do anything special.”

The Sea Kings (8-0, 3-0) clinched a playoff berth with the victory. They can clinch at least a share of first place with one more victory over their final two games.

El Toro 31, Irvine 25: A kick return for a touchdown and a 51-yard score in the final two minutes helped El Toro hold off Irvine and remain tied for first place in the Iota League.

The Chargers (5-3, 3-0) is tied with Troy for first. Those teams will meet in the final week of league play.

Irvine dropped to 6-2 overall, 2-1 league.

Makya Chee led Irvine with 154 rushing yards and touchdowns of 1 and 51 yards – the latter with 1:58 remaining.

The biggest play of the night belonged to senior Devin Costic. While Irvine was in comeback mode, Costic returned a kickoff 65 yards for a touchdown to momentarily quell Irvine’s momentum.

Calvary Chapel 43, Ocean View 21: For the first few minutes Friday night, unbeaten Calvary Chapel and once-beaten Ocean View were like heavyweight boxers, each landing a jarring blow.

But behind Colin Wiles, who threw for three touchdowns and ran for a fourth score, the Eagles slugged their way to a victory and sole possession of first place in the Sigma League.

Wiles and Chaz White connected on a 66-yard catch-and-run down the left sideline with 5:44 left in the first quarter for the Eagles (8-0, 3-0).

Wiles completed 12 of 23 passes for 187 yards in the face of fierce pressure from the Seahawks defense.

Ocean View took a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter when Northam connected with Zack Zentgraf for a 34-yard touchdown on fourth-and-6 89 seconds into the second quarter.

But when Jett Rauch recovered a bad snap by Ocean View at the Seahawks 7, Wiles scored on 7-run on the next play for a 14-14 tie.

Calvary Chapel regained the lead for good with Wiles’ 11-yard scoring pass to Noah Barthel with 14 seconds left in the half.
