EastCountySports.com staff report
LA MESA – Grossmont High senior quarterback Jaime Odom threw five touchdown passes and the Foothillers racked up a San Diego CIF Section record 817 yards of total offense in a 59-26 win over visiting Mater Dei Catholic on Friday night.
Odom was 23-of-31 passing for 437 yards and 5 TDs as Grossmont amassed the previous school-record of 692 yards in a game against Hilltop in 2014.
Senior receiver Brody Schicker caught three of the scores and finished with eight catches for 136 yards.
The Foothillers’ 540 passing yards also broke a school record (509 vs. Valhalla in 2013).
In two wins this season, Odom has 724 passing yards and 9 TDs.
Grossmont’s Jahmal Nevels scored on a 16-yard touchdown with 8:52 remaining in the first quarter.

After the Crusaders tied it later in the first on a long touchdown run, just one minute later, Odom threw a pass to Devin Jackson, who turned a short gain into a 60-yard score down the left sideline.

Credit Mater Dei. They had some answers, getting another score to make it 21-13 in the second quarter.
However, Odom had a touchdown hookup with Robert Tucker in the second quarter.
Tucker had 117 yards and a TD on six catches. He also had 186 yards of total offense.

The Crusaders put together another mild comeback bid in the third quarter.
However, Odom-to-Schicker might be a thing at this point.

Grossmont added on to the tote when Nevels added a touchdown run from 24 yards out for a 52-26 lead after three. Nevels finished with 65 yards on the ground.
Grossmont junior Justin Brown came in and threw a 41-yard touchdown strike to junior Nathan Ng in the fourth quarter.
Axel Gonzalez kicked a 45-yard field goal late in the second quarter. He was also 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts.
Grossmont has a bye next week.
