The Clark County School District has opened 17 new high schools since 1991. The immediate results are schools that have been around a few years beating the living daylights out of newer schools. It is basically a varsity team beating up a JV squad. It was suggested in the newsroom that maybe the new schools should play smaller schools, or the big school's JV squads. The new schools are essentially made up of freshmen and sophomores. If there is a junior on the team it is usually because he was not getting playing time at the other school and elected to go to the new opening. The end result is what I witnessed last night...OUCH! Outcomes like this can not be good for anyone involved.
Coronado 66, Del Sol 0 -- At Coronado, Christopher Desjardins rushed for six touchdowns and returned a fumble for a seventh as the Cougars crushed the Dragons in their first game.
Desjardins scored on touchdown runs of 57, 30, 23, 12, 7, and 6 yards and ran back the fumble 24 yards. He finished with 214 yards on 13 carries.
Coronado's Scott McLeod completed 5 of 8 passes for 108 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown to Tysson Poots.
The Cougars defense recovered four Del Sol fumbles and intercepted one pass. Coronado allowed only 107 yards.
