Francis Parker’s Chris Williams set a San Diego Section record when he scored all 52 points in the Lancers’ 52-27 win over Pasadena Poly, according to information provided to The San Diego Union.
Williams did it all: Six touchdown runs, 10, 23,25,27,27, and 45 yards. A 62-yard pass interception for a touchdown. Seven points after and a 28-yard field goal.
(According to Max Preps, Williams missed one point after and finished with 51 points. Cal Preps.com went with the reported 52).
Fifty-one or 52, Williams still broke the record of 50 by three players, most recently Mac Bingham of Torrey Pines in 2018. Mountain Empire’s Chad Cox scored 50 in 1998 and Paul Delgado of St. Joseph 50 in 2008.
GREENE STILL KING
Williams ranks third all time in San Diego County.
Coronado’s Frank Greene scored 80 points in the Islanders’ 108-0 win over Sweetwater in 1929. Greene scored 11 touchdowns and 14 points after and also still holds the California high school record.
San Diego’s John Hunter scored 57 points on seven touchdowns and 15 points after in a 130-7 win over Army-Navy in 1920. Hunter played in an era when the team that scored also received the following kickoff.
DONS FACE ANOTHER BIG ONE
Cathedral’s solid, 28-14 win over Mater Dei in the season opener last week verified the Don’s preseason No. 1 ranking in the San Diego Section and their clout among the state’s best clubs will receive a severe test this week. Coach Sean Doyle’s squad takes on state No. 3 Corona Centennial at Cathedral.
The Dons won a wildly entertaining, 44-41 contest from the Huskies in 2019 but traveled north and took a 57-14 beating in 2021.
Doyle (222-96 in 26-plus seasons) does not flinch when it comes to scheduling powerful intersectional opponents.
His team also will face Chandler, Arizona, in the Honor Bowl at Cathedral in Week 3 and has a rematch at home versus Concord De La Salle in Week 5, plus a tough Western League lineup that includes state-ranked Lincoln and Madison, and Helix and Steele Canyon from the Grossmont Hills loop.
