Top-ranked Edison continued its dominance in the Sunset League on Friday night by shutting out Fountain Valley, 24-0, in the Battle for the Bell. The Edison defense recorded four sacks, and Davion Orphey had two touchdowns on 124 yards rushing.
Check out highlights from the game and postgame interviews in this video by OCVarsity.com's Jonathan Khamis.
One pumpkin blasted through the Pepsi ad on the Titan Stadium scoreboard at Cal State Fullerton. Another flew over it. The scoreboard is OK and ready to go for the Fountain Valley-Edison game there this Friday, according to CSUF associate athletic director Rob Shildone.
And the reason there will be an $8 parking fee for the football game and there was free parking for the pumpkin launch on Halloween -- the pumpkin launch was a CSUF event, Shildone explained.
Previous post: Pumpkin 1, Titan Stadium 0
I am trying to get the answer to two questions from Cal State Fullerton folks:
1. What sort of damage was done to the scoreboard there on Halloween, when there was a pumpkin launching contest? One pumpkin smashed through the scoreboard.
2. Parking was free for this event, we reported. But there will be an $8 charge for parking for Fountain Valley-Edison football there Friday. Why?
Getting that to you as soon as I find out ...
(BTW -- Nothing against pumpkin launching as a science class project. Lots more fruitful than slicing apart dead frogs.)
Last year, there was a five-way tie for first with these teams at 3-2: Edison; Esperanza; Fountain Valley; Los Alamitos and Newport Harbor.
A series of coin flips took Edison and Newport Harbor out of the playoffs (and Newport Harbor had won its final three games, including victories over Esperanza and Los Alamitos, both of which made the playoffs via those coin flips).
The best of the best have cemented their sports in the O.C. football Top 10, but questions remain. Did Los Alamitos fall after its loss to Edison? Did Fountain Valley's win push the Barons into the top three? Video by Jonathan Khamis, OCVarsity.com, 11-2-09

The Chargers lost the time of possession battle, were unable to score an offensive touchdown, but still won the game 27-10 on the strength of their special teams and defense. Luke Eddy & Steven Malone led the way. Video by OCVarsity.com's Jonathan Khamis
Sunset League
NO. 7 LOS ALAMITOS (6-1, 1-1) VS. NO. 1 EDISON (7-0, 2-0)
Where, when: Huntington Beach High, Friday, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Los Alamitos has a new quarterback, Dylan Lagarde, a sophomore in-season transfer from Long Beach Poly, but that probably won’t make a difference in this game. Edison looks good enough to go 5-0 in the Sunset League, which would be quite an accomplishment, and just might be this year’s Pac-5 Division champion (with Mission Viejo right there with the Chargers, and don’t overlook Servite and Lakewood).
We have a live feed from the Mater Dei-Servite, Edison-Newport Harbor, Santa Margarita-St. John Bosco games. Click here to watch them.
Servite entered Friday's nonleague showdown with Edison averaging 38 points a game through its first three games.
That was before the Friars lined up against the Chargers.

Servite's head coach Troy Thomas was honored and received a plaque before the Edison and Servite game. This was a way of thanking Servite for donating their proceeds from last year's game, as Luke battled his illness. Video by OCVarsity.com's Jonathan Khamis.
In a highly anticipated game, Edison defeats Servite 23-9. The Friars were unable to score an offensive touchdown as the Chargers defense suffocated their attack.
