COSTA MESA — Led by a strong ground attack, No. 9 Fountain Valley finished the regular season with a 42-0 victory over Marina on Thursday night at Estancia High.
Midway through the second quarter, after cutting through the Vikings defense for 29 yards and his third touchdown, junior Kyle Middlebrooks broke the Barons’ 27-year single season rushing record. (Full game stats.)
His final stat line against Marina was 178 yards on 20 carries, giving him 1,498 yards on the season.
“[Middlebrooks] is a special kid, a special talent who will be the first person to give his teammates all the credit,” Fountain Valley coach John Shipp said. “He’s got a great group of teammates who would do anything for him.”
With its offense coasting comfortably, the Fountain Valley defense did its part to keep Marina (2-8, 0-5 Sunset League) in check.
The Barons (7-3, 3-2) held the Vikings to under 150 yards of total offense.
Fountain Valley senior defensive end Casey Smith was a force all night, sacking the quarterback four times and forcing a fumble.
Sharing some of the offensive spotlight with Middlebrooks was senior Dylan Garcia, who scored on a 99-yard kickoff return to start the second half and a 21-yard fun early in the fourth quarter.

“We came together as a team and we refused to surrender….”

SO IM CHEERING FOR EDISON TO WIN LEGUE & WE GO IN AS SECOND SEED ,OVER NEWPORT ON TIE BREAKER. IF EDISON LOSES 5 WAY COIN FLIP. WHICH WE CAN LOSE & DONT GO. GO CHARGERS
No five way tie. This is the only time I want Edison to win; one because Esperanza stole that game from us and two, we need a guarantee into the playoffs and that will happen with an Edison win.
E D I S O N edison is our friend , Tonight. Go Chargers
Let some of that Lightning Strike tonight. Then we will pay you
back in the Playoffs.
ANYONE remember Edison flying a plane over our school back
in 73 with a banner reading “Charger Lightning Strikes Tonight”.
Kick there Butt Edison and I will fly one over your school with
“Charger Lightning Fizzles Out”.
fountain valley got a lucky win because marina was playing with most of theyre players getting hurt during the week. go vikings barons blow!!!!!
with marinas key injuries the barons pulled an upset win over marina, any other week and marina would have kicked the heck out the barons, cant wait til next year when meadowl lynch is a senior!!!
I doubt the players Marina were missing can make them 42 points better than FV.
Marina upsetting FV? NEVER HA, WITH A SEASON WITH JUST 2 WINS… THAT’S JUST A UPSETTING COMMENT.
Woohoo, GO FV!!
Hoping Edison will win tonight, ahah. They better. -___-
Thank goodness Marina has a great punter. Go Chase Robinson All Sunset League Kicker Punter
viking haters won’t ever say that fv blows to our face…you’re a cowrard. You won’t say it to my face, don’t say it at all. God bless both teams. Good luck to all teams, may the best one wins and hope for no serious injuries. How about congrats to fv for their efforts, great effort on Marina’s part….tough season don’t give up. Go Barons!!!!!!1
To Joe: It’s funny….as a parent of former/current student/athlete s at MD I have never met anyone whose son was “recruited” by Mater Dei. Young men/women come to MD because it is a good academic school, teaches Catholic values and has great traditions. I don’t put down people who choose to go to public school – we just wanted more for our children.
MARINA QUIT CRYING WE LOST STARTING QB IST GAME.WE PULLED STARTERS EARLY 4TH OR WE WOULD SCORED MORE.YOU PLAYED I GOOD GAME IN SUNSET ALMOST BEATING ESPERANZA IN OT.
