HS FOOTBALL: Chaminade rallies for 14-10 comeback win at Valencia

| | Comments (0) |

VALENCIA -- If high school football games ended at halftime, Valencia would be having a great year.

Instead, the Vikings blew a second-half lead for the second week in a row Friday in a 14-10 loss to visiting Chaminade, and Valencia could only shake its head.

Terrell Newby scored both touchdowns for Chaminade (2-0), including a 3-yard run with three minutes, 52 seconds remaining for the go-ahead score.

Considering Newby was coming off a 279-yard, five-touchdown performance, Valencia did a good job holding the ultra fast junior to 84 yards in 24 carries, but Newby came through when he had to, adding a 1-yard touchdown and a two-point conversion to account for all of Chaminade's scoring.

The Vikings (0-2) were so concerned with Newby that Chaminade quarterback Logan Scott rushed for 105 yards in 14 carries, including a 58-yard run to highlight a 14-play, 80-yard drive on the opening possession of the second half that gobbled six minutes.

"I think it shows a lot about this team by the way we were able to come back," Scott said. "It was kind of a different environment here, so it took us a while to get comfortable, but we kept playing as hard as we could and kept on working. Terrell Newby is as valuable as any player we have."
