It was a record setting night for College of the Canyons sophomores Hayo Carpenter and Fred Winborn.
At the rate the COC continues to dominate opponents, many more records are bound to be broken.
Carpenter and Winborn combined to score six touchdowns as the Cougars (6-0, 2-0) routed Moorpark 48-3 in Western State Conference game at Cougar Staduim Saturday night.
Carpenter set the single-game record with 225 receiving yards on 12 receptions, breaking the previous mark of 214 yards set by Mark Hamilton against Glendale in 1998. He scored two touchdowns, returning the opening kickoff 95 yards and hauling in a 14-yard pass from Brad McClellan in the second quarter.
Winborn scored four touchdowns, tying the career mark of 29 which was set by J.J. Arrington (2001-2002). He scored on runs of 14, 12, 3 and 1 yard and finishing with 74 yards on 12 carries. The former Grant of Van Nuys running back broke the career mark for most carries with 240, breaking the old record of 233 held by Marcel Marquez (2004-2005).
COC, which entered with the second ranked offense in the state - averaging 523 yards per game, put the game out of reach early scoring 27 first quarter points and building a 34-3 lead at the half.
McClellan was the workhorse for the Cougars, rushing for a game-high 155 yard on 18 carries and throwing for 298 yards on 19 of 26 passing. The sophomore scored on a one-yard run to cap an 11-play, 76 yard drive in the middle of the fourth quarter.
The COC defense, which ranks third in the state allowing 223 yards per game, held Moorpark (3-2, 0-1) to 53 yards rushing and allowed just nine first downs.
Led by sophomore Kaylin Mahoney, one of three girls to break 18 minutes Saturday at the 30th annual Clovis Invitational, the Saugus girls' cross country team placed eight individuals among the 30 fastest runners in the entire meet at Woodward Park in Fresno, all within a 48-second span of each other on the 5-kilometer course.
The Centurions' official varsity team time was 91:27, but the combined efforts of their five fastest runners was 91:24, factoring frosh/soph winner Karis Frankian (18:28) as the team's No. 4 runner, to go along with Mahoney (17:50), Brianna Jauregui (18:08), Amber Murakami (18:28) and Anne Randall (18:30).
Keri Molt was Saugus' No. 5 runner in the varsity race in 18:31. Stephanie Bulder (18:35) and Danielle Hernando (18:39) were right behind Frankian in the frosh/soph race.

You can bet Oaks Christian is a bit bummed St. Bonaventure lost to Long Beach Poly 12-7 on Friday, as the richocet effect of the defeat might eventually cost Oaks Christian a state bowl berth in Div. III.
Here's the logic:
St. Bonaventure already has defeated Crespi, and a win over Long Beach Poly -- considered a state favorite in Div. I -- combined with St. Bonaventure winning the rest of its coming games (probably will happen) would have made St. Bonaventure a strong candidate to represent the South in the new, highest "open" division of the bowl series, a step higher than being named the Div. III representative.
Being chosen for the "open" division is an anointment that goes to the best team, regardless of division, and St. Bonaventure might have fit into that categroy -- and left a spot in Div. III for Oaks Christian, assuming the Lions can win a sixth consecutive section title (probably will happen, too).
Now, if St. Bonaventure wins out and takes the Northern Division championship, and Oaks Christian, playing less worthy nonleague and playoff opponents, wins the lesser Northwest Division, the nod in Div. III probably would probably go to St. Bonaventure over the Lions.
