Eastlake High School’s Football Team Looks to be championship caliber in San Diego
Community of Eastlake, Eastlake News, Eastlake Sports, Football in Eastlake Wednesday, November 24th, 2010The Titans of Eastlake (Chula Vista) are undefeated – the top-ranked team in the CIF-San Diego Section with eyes of earning a bid to the California State Bowl Games at the Home Depot Center in Carson next month.
Riding a 21-game winning streak, the Titans (10-0) are a versatile bunch with a pair of quarterbacks, Jordan Hines and Josh Palet, who have combined to pass for 1,149 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Probably the biggest collaboration between the two signal-callers was a game-winning 21-yard scoring pass from Palet to Hines with 15 seconds left to knock off Steele Canyon 20-17.
“We got away with one there,” Eastlake coach John McFadden said. “Jordan is an incredible receiver and Josh can throw it pretty well. We got lucky.”
Those on the Cougars sidelines believed Hines was guilty of offensive pass interference. Furthermore, on the winning pass, there was a non-call when an Eastlake slotback appeared to move forward before the ball was snapped.
All that aside, the Titans have pulled other great escapes including 24-21 over Moorpark and 24-22 over Cathedral Catholic.
Additional Eastlake weapons include senior slotback Chris Fletcher (1,104 yards, 9 touchdowns) and junior running back Jude Isbell (99 rushes, 1104 yards, 10 touchdowns).
