HELIX 49, VALHALLA 2
EastCountySports.com staff report
EL CAJON – The Helix Highlanders may or may not have the services of senior running back Elelyon Noa for next Friday night’s game against the Grossmont Foothillers.
While Noa was wearing a boot on the sidelines during Friday night’s 49-2 win at Valhalla, the captain was able to walk out onto the field for the coin toss.
While initially, it was thought that Noa might need just a week to heal a possible ankle injury suffered in last week’s win over El Capitan in order to be ready for next Friday’s game, however, a television report following this week’s contest said that official word of Noa’s status could be revealed on Monday and that Helix may need to use its other potent personnel for the time being.
Either way, the Scotties other means are plentiful and were in form on Friday against the Norsemen.
Delshawn Traylor, lining up at running back on the first series, had a 54-yard touchdown run as Helix led, 7-0, with 11:24 left in the first quarter.
Jaiden Brown had a 71-yard pick-six, as the Highlanders led, 14-0, with nine minutes to go in the first quarter.
Washington replaced Noa effectively by rushing for 101 yards on six carries. He had a 53-yard run in the contest.
Brown went 10-for-18 passing for 137 yards.
Helix led 35-2 at halftime after Valhalla scored a safety on an intentional grounding call with 52 seconds left in the half.
Washington added a 14-yard touchdown run as Helix led 42-2 with eight minutes to go in the third.
Helix freshman Puka Noa had an interception for the Highlanders.
Senior Elijah Laing was 7-or-7 on his extra-point attempts.
Helix senior Tyler Tucker forced a fumble which was recovered by Jeremiah Fletcher.
Helix senior Jahari Hill had four receptions for 63 yards.
Valhalla running back Kaleti Lindsay had 54 yards on 10 carries.
Junior receiver Josh Meredith had three receptions for 66 yards for the Norsemen.
Valhalla had a pair of interceptions.
