Fullerton 35, Palomar 0
SAN MARCOS – The possibility of gaining a post-season bowl game were on the line in this battle of 3-3 ballclubs, but the outvome was way too one-sided.
Visiting Fullerton Collehge broke open the scoressless contest with three touchdowns in the second quarter, rolling pastg Palomar College, 35-0, in Saturday’s (Oct. 26) National Conference Southern Division contest.
Hornets quarterback Tobey Schmidt fired two of his three TD passes in the decisive second period, but it was the Fullerton defense which keyed the victory.
With Palomar trailing 7-0, yet driving for ther game-tying score, Fullerton linebacker Perry Willams IV intercepterd the Comets pass andrumbled 78 yards for a touchdownm and the Hornets never looked back.
Schmidt finished with 195 yards on 13-for-20 passing, while running back Andreas Missick-Duncombe sealed the victory with a 70-yard TD gallop early in the fourth period.
Fullerton (4-3 overall) is now tied with Palomar (3-4 overall) at 2-2 in NCSD play, yet easily hold the tie-breaker as four schools usually gain bowl berths; the Comets currently rest in fifth place.
Next week, Palomar hits the road to southwest Riverside County for a tought contest against Mt. San Jacinto. The 6 p.m. start will be held at the Menifee campus and is the Eagles’ homecoming affair. READ MORE / BOXSCORE

Saddleback 44, Grossmont 0
MISSION VIEJO – The long season for the Grossmont College offense hit rock bottom Dsaturday (Oct. 25), getting shutout for the first time this season in a 44-0 blanking by 14th-ranked Saddleback College in NCSD action at Saddleback Stadium.
The host Bobcats (5-2 overall, 3-1 NCSD) mounted a 31-0 cushion by the half before sending in the reserves.
The romp was on just 86 seconds into the ballgame, when Marques Carrillo Edgar hauled in a 58-aryd touchdown pass from Trey Kukuk.
Meanwhile, the Griffins offense was a season-low 1-for-16 on third-down conversions and just 72 yards in total yardage, dooming their own defense with poor field position throughout.
The shutout was the first for the Bobats in 17 years.
Grossmont (1-6, 0-4NCSD) saw freshman safety Raylon Logan (Lincoln) with an interception — his second of the season — plus a sack by freshman safety Jerimiah Cavaiinaea (Helix) — also his second of the campaign.
Next Saturday(Nov. 2), Grossmont hosts Fullerton in a rematch of the 2009 Southern California Championship game which the Griffins won before going on to claim the school’s second state championship.
