Season ends for Edison
- Share via
Edison High had its 2003 football season come to an end Friday in a
21-0 loss to top-ranked Long Beach Poly in a CIF-Southern Section
Division quarterfinal game at Orange Coast College.
The Chargers offense couldn’t find its groove against a Poly
defense that limited Edison to just 165 yards and forced five
fumbles, recovering one.
The Chargers, who had a five-game win streak snapped, had reached
the quarterfinal round following a 31-14 first-round win Nov. 28 at
A.B. Miller in Fontana.
Edison fielded a young and inexperienced team in 2003, but the
Chargers combined senior leadership with a stingy defense to go 8-4
overall and in the process, tie for the Sunset League championship.
Three of their four losses are to Poly, Mater Dei and Los Alamitos
-- three of the four teams playing in Friday’s Division I semifinals.
They lost by a touchdown to Mater Dei and Los Alamitos in games
that went down to the wire.
“It was a great year and this team did a lot of great things,”
Coach Dave White said. “To become a league champion, when we were
picked at the beginning of the season to finish fourth in league,
says a lot of the effort by these kids.
“We beat Fountain Valley and won a playoff game, too. I’m very
proud of this team. They definitely had a great year.”
