Del Sol rolls past Western for third straight win

Trey Alexander and Markell Turner each scored three touchdowns as Del Sol rolled past visiting Western, 58-0 in the Class 3A Sunset League opener for both teams on Friday.

The Dragons (4-2) jumped on top of the Warriors early, seizing a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. With a defense that limited Western (0-5) to 68 yards of total offense, Del Sol never let up in winning its third straight game for the first time since the start of the 2014 season.

Turner, a senior receiver, scored all three times he touched the ball on offense. He started the scoring by taking a handoff on a flanker sweep around the right edge for a 10-yard rushing touchdown. Turner later added touchdown catches of 18 and 60 yards.

Alexander gained 84 yards on 14 carries, and scored on runs of 4, 2, and 11 yards in the first half as Del Sol built a 37-0 lead.

Del Sol receiver Maalik Flowers returned the second-half kickoff 60 yards for another score. Flowers also added a 45-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter.
