(Glendora)- Believe it or not, it was a scoreless first quarter. The other three, however, were a nightmare for host Glendora as Charter Oak charged its way to a 43-0 victory on Friday night at Citrus College.
The running clock was invoked at the start of the fourth quarter and the rout was established on the first play of the second quarter.
Brian Casteel scored on a 1-yard run and then came back two minutes later to catch a 1-yard pass from quarterback Bret Clemetson.

“A literary snapshot of what goes on over the course of a high school football season…an awesome read and a story that truly will transcend time.”—Jim Singiser, AD/HC Arroyo Knights Football
“Thrill, dread, anxiety, love, agony, success, and failure; basically all the emotions you feel as a football player/coach as you do in life, all wrapped up in a single book.”—Marc Paramo, HC Rosemead Panthers Football
“I read the book and really enjoyed it a great deal. I would think coaches and parents could Learn a lot.”—John “Coach” Kentera, former sports talk host at Mighty 690 & Mighty 1090
Clemetson then went 28-yards to Jermaine Braddock for a touchdown with 6:47 left in the half. Then he hit on a 25-yard scoring toss to Isaiah Hamilton to make it 27-0 at the break.
If the Tartans were given a rah-rah speech in the locker room any hope it gave expired with the second half kick-off. Hamilton took it 83-yards yards to paydirt and the Fat Lady was done warming up with the score 34-0.
With 5:57 to play Casteel scored his third touchdown on a 2-yard run.
By the time Rafael Guizar added a 24-yard field the clock on the scoreboard was spinning uninterrupted.
The victory improved the Chargers to 3-0 and dropped Glendora to 1-2.
