A Gross defeat

By Tony Lee On Sunday, October 25, 2009
The halftime score of the National Division game between Orange Coast College and host Grossmont College was close - 10-3 in favor of the Griffins.

But when the final whistle blew, the Pirates (5-2, 1-2 in the division) suffered its most lopsided loss in 73 games Saturday with a 43-12 loss at Mashin-Roth Memorial Stadium, according to Daily Pilot's Barry Faulkner.

Grossmont (7-1, 2-1) was led by sophomore quarterback Matt Jarvis who completed 16-of-30 passes for 367 yards and touchdown passes of 61, 60, 50 and 37 yards.

However, the Griffins did not find success running as the Pirates defense allowed only 28 rushing yards on 30 attempts.

Coast also couldn't find success running the ball as the Pirates' No. 1 offensive weapon Ray Holley ran 26 times for just 50 yards with no touchdowns.

In Holley's last game against Santa Ana College on Oct 10., he ran for 191 yards on 42 carries with three touchdowns.

Coast's quarterback Ethan Whitsell, who recently earned the starting job, made his first start of the season and finished with 14-of-42 passes for 155 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions.

Former starter Kyle Manning came in the game with 4:49 left in the game after Grossmont's Nick Cary threw a 16-yard touchdown to Jacob Podpora - making the score 43-6.

Manning completed 1-of-6 passes for seven-yards and was intercepted in the a two-point conversion attempt.

Pirates' lone touchdown came from Israel Lee's four-yard run. Kicker Lucas Vandeman converted field goals from 47 and 33 yards for the other two scores. Vandeman also had a field goal blocked from 27 yards.
