Senior running back David Huff scored Crean’s touchdown. Grace averaged 50 yards a punt. Senior defensive lineman Caeden Chase had three tackles for losses for the Saints.
“Our defense played really well,” Curtis said, “and our kicking game was great, too.”

Rancho Alamitos coach Mike Enright praised the team’s defense, led by linebackers Kyle Culbert and Frank Nguyen. Most of all, though, Enright was happy the players got the chance to play.
“This is my 21st year as head coach here,” Enright said. “We’ve won league championships, played in CIF finals But last night was one of the better nights, just to see the happiness on the kids faces that they were able to play again.”
