(Covina) – Charter Oak intercepted Northview quarterback Steven Comstock five times and forced seven turnovers overall in a 49-14 rout of the Vikings Friday night to kick off the 2017 season.<\/p>\n

The Chargers went up 35-0 in the first quarter and led 49-7 at the half. There was a running clock in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Joseph Romero got the Chargers off and running early in the first when he stepped in front of a Comstock pass and returned it to the Northview five-yard line. On the next play Jermaine Braddock raced in from the five for the first score.<\/p>\n

On Northview’s next possession Isaiah Hamilton intercepted a pass and CO set up shop at their own 37. Five plays later Matt Chavez scored on a five-yard run to put Charter Oak up two scores.<\/p>\n

Hamilton picked off another pass on the next possession but this time Hamilton took it to the house going 50 yards and with 3:30 still left in the first it was 21-0.<\/p>\n

The Chargers cashed in on a Northview fumble just over a minute later when JP Palacious hit Michael Anyanwu on a ten-yard TD strike.<\/p>\n

The Vikings went three and out on the next series and after a punt return Charter Oak was in business again. Chavez got his second score of the night – a 27-yard romp that effectively iced the game. There were still 35 seconds left in the first quarter but at 35-0 everybody on Covina Blvd. knew this one was over.<\/p>\n

The Chargers added a couple more scores in the second quarter as Braddock caught a six-yard TD pass from Palacious and Chavez picked up his third of the night on a four-yard run. Northview finally broke through with 3:07 remaining in the first half when Comstock found Jimmy Amezquita behind the Charter Oak secondary for a 48-yard touchdown pass.<\/p>\n

The Chargers emptied their bench in the second half as head coach Lou Farrar gave his twos and threes some playing time.<\/p>\n

The Vikings scored the final touchdown of the night in the running clock fourth quarter when Comstock broke a couple of tackles and rumbled 21 yards down the left sideline.<\/p>\n

Chavez finished with 110 yards and three touchdowns on ten carries for CO. Braddock had one touchdown running and one receiving and Hamilton had two picks and a score.<\/p>\n

Comstock, who has committed to Fresno State, stayed in to the bitter end, threw for one and ran for one but was hurt but the five interceptions.<\/p>\n

Next up for Charter Oak is a date at Colony next Friday night while Northview will travel to Rosemead.<\/p>\n
