(Covina) – Brett Clemetson threw six touchdown passes (three of them to Jermaine Braddock) to lead Charter Oak to a 44-22 rout of Northview at Covina District Field Thursday night to kick off the 2016 campaign.
Charter Oak jumped out to a 14 -0 lead less than three minutes into the game and was up 30-9 at halftime. Northview’s Antwaun Ayers fumbled the opening kick off and the Chargers took over at the Viking 15 yard line. Two plays later Clemetson hit Braddock for a 15-yard score and the Chargers were off and running.
After forcing Northview to punt, Charter Oak scored again two minutes later when Clemetson connected with Brian Casteel for a 26-yard touchdown for a 14-0 advantage. There was 9:25 left in the first quarter but the Chargers were never threatened again. A couple more scores and a safety and the lead was 21 at the break and that was all she wrote.
Ayers redeemed himself later for the Vikings with two touchdown catches including an 88-yard score just before halftime when he outran the Charter Oak secondary.
The Vikings tried to get back in it as they scored first in the second half on a Steven Comstock touchdown pass to Ayers to cut the lead to two touchdowns but Charter Oak always had an answer. Brian Casteel, an Arizona commit also had a pair of touchdown catches creating a one-two punch with Braddock that the Northview D was unable to stop.
