CARLSBAD \u2014 The Santa Fe Christian High School football team has climbed to No. 6 in the county based on a dynamic offense.<\/p>\n

Friday the Eagles scored eight times but it was the defense that led the way, shutting out Army-Navy en route to a 56-0 win at Army-Navy\u2019s John Maffucci Field.<\/p>\n

In improving to 5-0 on the season, the SFC defense had 16 plays for zero or negative yards. Army-Navy got a 29-yard run from Vincent Leatherman and runs of 16 and 18 yards from quarterback Brayden Baumbach in the first half, but punted on the first five possessions.<\/p>\n

One, however, resulted in a 90-yard punt return touchdown by Chase Wooley. Another was blocked by Josh Wilson with the Eagles scoring on the next play on an 11-yard run by Brady Berg.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the way it has been all season,\u201d SFC coach Jon Wallace said of his team\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not big, but we play hard, fly to the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really pleased with our effort, especially against a talented team with good speed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Army-Navy (3-2) had 23 running plays, netting 47 yards.<\/p>\n

The Warriors attempted 13 passes, completing three for 14 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take a lot of pride in our defense,\u201d said SFC middle linebacker Charlie Stover of a group that has allowed 27 points in five game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe set goals before every game. Tonight was to hold them to seven points and get at least two turnovers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the game got out of hand a little bit, everyone got to play, but the backup guys didn\u2019t let up.<\/p>\n

They played with pride and energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a really tight group, a team with great chemistry and I think it shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Offensively, SFC rushed for 121 yards and threw for 146 while playing three quarterbacks \u2013 Dax Labrum, Brett Vermillion and Bryce El-Ghoroury.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know the best thing about this game?\u201d asked Army-Navy coach Nehemian Brunson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing is we don\u2019t have to play them again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a quick, strong, talented, well-coached team. They\u2019ll go far in the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CARLSBAD \u2014 The Santa Fe Christian High School football team has climbed to No. 6 in the county…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":468792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[2044,181,74,76,75,127],"class_list":["post-468791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-high-school-sports","tag-latest-headlines","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
