Football: Rick Wade has huge performance for Santa Margarita

It was the only game matching a Trinity League team against a Mission League team. And it didn’t disappoint.

Back and forth Santa Margarita and Bishop Amat went until Santa Margarita finally came away with a 26-21 victory on Friday night. Rick Wade, a defensive end committed to UCLA from Santa Margarita, recorded 13 tackles, including a sack. The Eagles had to stop Bishop Amat one final time on a drive to the seven-yard line in the fourth quarter to prevail.

KJ Costello passed for 308 yards and two touchdowns.

Trinity League teams are 4-1 in season openers. Mission League teams are 6-1.

Lambert rushed for 306 yards and three touchdowns in a 70-34 win over Mira Costa. Sanders scored five touchdowns _ two on receptions, two on runs and another on a kickoff return.

Loyola’s large class of talented juniors served notice in a 48-6 win over Harvard-Westlake. Daniel Tolbert rushed for 135 yards in six carries and scored three touchdowns.
