William Camacho caught a 19-
yard touchdown pass from Jaylen
Henderson with 13 seconds re-
maining to lift West Hills Chami-
nade to a 46-44 upset over Norco in
a CIF Southern Section Division 2
first-round playoff game Friday
night at Norco.
Chaminade (6-5) drove 80 yards
in seven plays to regain the lead
and tackled Norco receiver Phil Es-
pinoza at midfield as the clock ran
out to start a wild celebration as
Eagles players ran onto the field to
congratulate their hero Camacho.
“I can’t tell you the name of the
play — that’s classified,” Camacho
said after scoring six — yes six —
touchdowns.
“I just knew I had to catch it. I al-
ways have hope for my team, even if
we’re down. I go 100% every play.
Anything I can do to help my team
win.”
Nothing changes momentum in
a football game like turnovers and
Chaminade capitalized on four
takeaways — three of them early in
the second quarter — to build a big
lead, but the host Cougars scored
three late touchdowns to take the
lead back.
Camacho caught six passes for
91 yards and rushed for 79 yards
and five touchdowns in 22 carries
for the Eagles, scoring on runs of
two, one, 13, 39 and two yards — the
last on fourth and goal to put
Chaminade ahead 40-22 late in the
third quarter.
Norco needed 16 seconds to an-
swer, as Shane Illingworth con-
nected with Marquis Ashley on a
75-yard pass to the Chaminade
three-yard line and ran for a touch-
down on the following play. Grant
Gray added the two-point conver-
sion catch to make it a 10-point
game.
Norco used a trick play to pull to
within three with 5:59 left when Il-
lingworth flipped a sideline pass to
backup quarterback Kyle Crum,
who threw a pass into the end zone
where Espinoza outleaped two de-
fenders for an 18-yard touchdown.
Illingworth, who has commit-
ted to Oklahoma State, scampered
seven yards to the goal line to put
Norco on top, 44-40, with 1:17 left.
He completed 14 of 24 passes for 255
yards and three touchdowns and
Fernando Chairez ran for 139 yards
in 22 carries for Norco (8-3), ranked
No. 20 by The Times.
Espinoza caught a 10-yard
touchdown pass to end a nine-play,
76-yard drive to give the Cougars a
7-0 lead midway through the first
quarter.
Illingworth entered the game
having completed 65% of his
passes for 2,816 yards and 37 touch-
downs with only two interceptions.
Henderson threw for 212 yards
and two touchdowns and ran for
another 81 yards and Ian Duarte
had five receptions for 62 yards, in-
cluding a 12-yard touchdown to
give Chaminade its first lead, 12-7,
in the second quarter.
The Eagles will face Upland in
the quarterfinals next Friday. Up-
land beat Oaks Christian 27-17.

CHAMINADE 46
NORCO 44
By Steve Galluzzo
There was a time Chatsworth
Sierra Canyon football was in
Division 10 and hardly considered
a threat to anyone. That was 10
years ago. Two state titles and four
Southern Section titles later, the
Trailblazers accomplished some-
thing Friday night that sends a
clear message where the program
is headed: They took down their
first Trinity League opponent.
Yes, Santa Margarita (3-8)
finished last in the Trinity League,
but the Eagles were no easy first-
round draw in the newly created
Division 2, where the 16-team
bracket included eight teams that
normally would be in Division 1.
Top-seeded Sierra Canyon
(10-1) fell behind in the second
quarter before regaining momen-
tum and confidence en route to a
35-21 victory. The Trailblazers will
face Vista Murrieta in the quarter-
finals. Vista Murrieta won 24-21 on
a 34-yard field goal in the final
seconds.
One of the reasons Sierra Can-
yon has put itself in position to win
a title is the play of junior quarter-
back Chayden Peery. In 11 games,
he has no interceptions. He com-
pleted 20 of 31 passes Friday for
295 yards and three touchdowns.
His job is to get the ball to his
playmakers.
“We don’t do anything crazy,”
Peery said. “I do what my coaches
ask me.”
Said Santa Margarita coach
Brent Vieselmeyer: “Very efficient.
Doesn’t kill them. Does a good job
distributing the ball.”
Sierra Canyon burned the
Eagles with screens and short
passes that were turned into long
gains. A 57-yard interception re-
turn for a touchdown by DJ Har-
vey in the fourth quarter clinched
the win.
Donovan Williams caught five
passes for 108 yards and had
touchdown receptions of 67 and 22
yards. Brendon Gamble was a
human battering ram for the
Trailblazers, picking up a 30-yard
touchdown while running over a
few Santa Margarita defenders
and later adding a 44-yard run.
Santa Margarita quarterback
Colt Fulton passed for 264 yards,
including touchdown passes of 66
yards to sophomore Ian Grogan
and six yards to Tyler Wetmore,
who had eight receptions for 136
yards.
Williams’ 67-yard touchdown
reception on the second play of the
game — in which he ran through
the Santa Margarita secondary
untouched — might have been a
little too much success too early
for the Trailblazers. The offense
soon went into hibernation mode
and Santa Margarita took a 14-7
lead with 4:24 left in the second
quarter when Grogan caught a
66-yard touchdown on a blown
coverage.
That touchdown woke up the
Trailblazers. They responded with
a 25-yard touchdown reception by
JD Sumlin and a 30-yard touch-
down run by Gamble for a 21-14
halftime lead. Sierra Canyon had
three touchdowns nullified by
holding penalties and lost an
onside kick.
It was quite a night for first-
round games in Division 2, which
makes the Southern Section’s
decision to have an eight-team
Division 1 bracket look good.
Among the memorable games was
Long Beach Poly pulling out a
27-24 overtime victory over Orange
Lutheran.

Tyler Hartigan in their Division 2 playoff game. “We don’t do anything crazy,” Chayden Peery said.

Nike has vowed to investigate
claims by a former middle-dis-
tance runner who said she was sub-
jected to physical and mental
abuse while training with the
sportswear giant’s now-shuttered
Oregon Project.
Mary Cain published an opin-
ion piece in the New York Times on
Thursday saying coaches pres-
sured her to become “thinner and
thinner,” which ultimately caused
her to stop menstruating, break
five bones and become suicidal.
“We take the allegations ex-
tremely seriously and will launch
an immediate investigation to hear
from former Oregon Project ath-
letes,” the company said. “At Nike
we seek to always put the athlete at
the center of everything we do, and
these allegations are inconsistent
with our values.”
The Oregon Project was cre-
ated in 2001 for elite runners, serv-
ing as a base for the likes of Galen
Rupp and Mo Farah. It was contro-
versial almost from the start and
came under increased scrutiny as
team members alleged wrong-
doing.
This fall, coach Alberto Salazar
was banned four years for traffick-
ing testosterone and other anti-
doping violations. Cain joined the
program in 2013 as a heralded teen-
ager, but left in 2015.
In its statement, Nike said she
had never before raised concerns
and “was seeking to rejoin the Ore-
gon Project and Alberto’s team as
recently as April of this year.”
The program was shut down
soon after the sanctions against
Salazar.

Nearly two years after dis-
graced sports doctor Larry Nas-
sar was sent to prison for abusing
young athletes, the U.S. Olympic &
Paralympic Committee is still
wrestling with the fallout, an-
nouncing the first installment in a
series of “sweeping” reforms.
USOPC executives said Friday
they will give athletes more say on
their board of directors and in-
crease oversight of the national
governing bodies that manage
each sport.
“These reforms are a significant
first step of many, in our ongoing ef-
forts to ensure our athletes are at
the heart of what we do we and who
we are going forward,” chief execu-
tive Sarah Hirshland said. “We
have taken action and will continue
to take action.”
