"Was it five turnovers they forced? Six? Seven? Things got out of hand in a hurry Friday night as Valley Christian started its football season with a 41-10 rout of Wilcox in a lopsided episode of what is becoming a traditional Week 1 meeting between South Bay powers. The Warriors (1-0) entered the game No. 8 in the Bay Area News Group's preseason rankings, with the Chargers (0-1) one spot behind, at No. 9."
"The Chargers ran 11 plays from scrimmage in the third quarter and turned the ball over five times. Led by its powerful front seven, Valley Christian converted each turnover into seven points a 35-0 margin in the quarter and finished the game with seven total takeaways. In a field position game, that changes everything, Machado said. They can't establish field position because we're taking the ball away. The good thing is, offensively, we finished. Every time we got it, we put points on the board."
