EAGLES LIFT OFF / FLIGHT PATH TO VICTORY
TCHS EAGLES EDGE ORESTIMBA WARRIORS, IMPROVE to 3-0

Turlock Christian High senior Axel Morelli makes a read during the Eagles’ 10-6 non-league win over a visiting Orestimba High this past Friday evening in Delhi.
|
Turlock Christian High School's multi-sport standout Eli Davis tallied four of the Eagles' totaled points with his foot Friday night, which proved to be the difference during a 10-6 preseason victory over the visiting Orestimba High Warriors. Davis connected on a point after a touchdown, plus made good on a 48-yard field goal right as the first half expired. However, that was not the only reason the Eagles' walked out of Delhi's stadium with a win.
Turlock Christian, who improved to 3-0 after Week 3 of the season, received clutch plays from just about everywhere on the field. Despite having such a shorthanded roster, the Eagles were still able to fight off the Warriors (0-3) with the use of their strength, heart and conditioning. "They have worked so hard throughout the summer on conditioning and being able to go four quarters," Turlock Christian head coach Rusty Lyon said. "That was required of us (Friday), and they stepped up to the challenge. "We played an aggressive style of defense, and we've changed up our fronts. We had great play from our line, and linebackers. We covered the few pass plays Orestimba did have."
The Warriors ran the ball 48 times for 129 yards from the ground. Orestimba standout running back Michael Campos ran the ball 26 times for 101 total yards. Vince Mattos, who plays quarterback and defense for the Warriors, recorded Orestimba's only touchdown in the fourth quarter with 4-minutes, 45-seconds left to play. Mattos ran the ball eight times for 33 yards.
Turlock Christian did all of its scoring during the first half. On the Eagles' third possession of the match up, senior quarterback Axel Morelli connected with Kameron Holguin fading down the left sideline. The pass was good for a 38-yard touchdown, and Davis' extra point handed the Eagles a 7-0 advantage. "We had tremendous opportunity on offense, and we moved the ball quite well," Lyon said. "We had a huge number of penalties. If we would not have had those we could have had some great offense."

Turlock Christian's second score came at the end of the first half, which was a field goal from Davis that gave the Eagles a 10-0 lead going into the half. Ben Larson picked off a pair of passes, and one was at the end of the first 10 minutes. On a fourth down during the middle of the second quarter, the Eagles' senior running back/linebacker Jordan Buchanan got behind the line to make a stop to force a turnover. Buchanan got behind the line of scrimmage and made a shoe-lace tackle to get the Eagles' ball back. "We had plays everywhere," Lyon said. " (Buchanan) had some great runs for us, and played stout defense. He must have had a ton of tackles.
"Coach Lyon has a lot of respect for a program like Orestimba. It meant a lot to our team to beat a quality team like Orestimba. This sort of puts us on the map." Turlock Christian will host Gustine High this Friday in Livingston at 7:30 p.m.
TC EAGLES MAKE A STATEMENT FRIDAY, NOW BATTLE-TESTED John-Joel Griffiths - Turlock Journal - 9/26/07
Let me start by explaining what it means when I refer to a certain player/athlete as my ‘boy’. It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re personal friends, or ‘boys’ in that sense. But when a sports writer happens to hear a certain player/athlete being discussed, then refers to that player as ‘his boy’, it simply means that player has evolved into one of that person’s top-five favorite athletes of all-time, at that particular level of sport. So, when I let the public know Eli Davis is my ‘boy’, it doesn’t necessarily mean what it sounds like. I’m saying he’s one of the most entertaining, and enjoyable high school athletes I like to watch.

Davis is now a senior at Turlock Christian, and plays for the Eagles’ varsity football squad. However, this isn’t the only sport he competes in. Davis is also on the baseball and basketball squads, and was formerly a soccer standout as well. As a junior, Davis was a four-sport standout, and was a full-time soccer player while helping out the football team strictly with his part-time duties. Back then, all Davis used to handle was the kicking. This year, especially with Turlock Christian’s extremely shorthanded roster, Davis and the rest of the squad has been forced to take on an extremely extended list of on-the-field responsibilities.
The Eagles, who improved to 3-0 after a 10-6 victory over the Orestimba High Warriors Friday, are down to 17 players now, which isn’t even enough to field two 11-player units at one time. The Eagles aren’t blessed with depth at any position, and 40 minutes of football can seem like an eternity. But Turlock Christian, under a fantastic motivator like Coach Rusty Lyon, never stopped throwing punches.
I’m willing to bet that no one will blow the Eagles out this season. They have too much heart for that. The desire and determination that TC’s football program brings to the table is just ridiculous. They never quit, and they never stop working - ever!
During last weekend’s game in Delhi, Turlock Christian had six players on the sideline ready for substitutions. They had seven, counting Kevin Kelly sitting on the bench with an injured ankle. Plus, the Eagles’ only returning All-leaguer senior Jordan Buchanan was carted off of the field on a stretcher with an injury. Buchanan was having a tremendous night. He was all over the field making a variety of tackles, and even carried the ball hard with his punishing style of run.
Quarterback Axel Morelli pilots the offense, and he anchors the defense. Morelli plays linebacker, and is one of the team’s biggest, and best hitters. He sealed the game on Friday with a clutch interception as the time wound away in the fourth. Another standout in Kameron Holguin also had quite a showing, even while limping on an injured ankle. Ben Larson finished up with two interceptions, and he hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass from Morelli. Larson and Davis are probably the most versatile and athletic players TC has to offer. While lacking in size, the Eagles certainly make up for it with a great deal of speed and agility. With a strong special team’s unit, thanks to the boot of Davis, who could probably connect on a 55-yarder on a good night, the Eagles actually have a lot of talent.
The Eagles still have six more regular season contacts left, not counting the playoffs. So being able to keep healthy is a big concern for the remainder of the year. However, it doesn’t really matter if Turlock Christian can stay healthy or not. With the heart, fire and the desire that the Eagles bring to the football field every Friday night, coach Lyon’s club is bound for success. All they need is 11 guys at a time, and I’m willing to bet Turlock Christian would suit up and play with the 10.
EAGLES FLYING HIGH Richard T. Estrada - Modeto Bee - 9/23/07
Turlock Christian is 3-0 and still celebrating Friday's 10-6 win over Orestimba at Delhi High. "We are every proud of this win," said coach Rusty Lyon, whose team plays its "home" games on the road since it doesn't have a stadium. "It's the first time in our program's history that we've beaten a larger (school)."
TC 35, GUSTINE 6
Alex Cantatore - The Turlock Journal - 10/2/07
TCH's senior standout Eli Davis flat out snapped on Friday night at Livingston. During the Eagles' 35-6 rout of Gustine's Redskins at Livingston High School, Davis scored five touchdowns and rushed for 141 yards. Davis scored on a one- and 59-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, and helped the Eagles to a 20-0 lead at halftime after scoring on a 22-yard scamper in the second period.
Davis scored a touchdown on an interception return in the third quarter, and tallied his fourth running score, which was his fifth on the night, on a five-yard rush. The Eagles gained 280 yards of total offense in Week 4, and will be taking that into Week 5 on Friday night. Turlock Christian will match up with RIpon Christian's Knights at Ripon High School at Stouffer Field.
TURLOCK CHRISTIAN ROLLS,
OFF TO ITS FIRST 4-0 START Staff Reports - The Modesto Bee - 9/29/07
LIVINGSTON -- When Eli Davis, an all-Stanislaus District soccer player and one of the state's top scorers last fall, made the decision to play football this fall for Turlock Christian High, who could have guessed he'd have such an impact. The versatile senior displayed all his skills Friday night, rushing for 141 yards, scoring five touchdowns and accounting for all but two of the Eagles' points in a 35-6 win over Gustine. Davis ran for four touchdowns, including a 59-yarder in the first quarter for a 12-0 lead, and returned an interception 10 yards for his fifth. He also kicked three extra points. That raised TC's record to 4-0, the best start in school history.

TC 10, MARIPOSA 7 at Mariposa
DEFENSE DELIVERS FOR TC
Modesto Bee Staff Reports - 10/13/07

The biggest win in Turlock Christian's five-year varsity football history was capped by, of course, a game-ending goal-line stand.
Mariposa, one yard from victory, tossed an incomplete pass as time expired, preserving the Eagles' 10-7 win and triggering a muddy celebration Friday night.
The first Southern League victory by Turlock Christian (6-0, 1-0 SL) was exciting and hard-earned." We were so close so many times last year. To finally do it was huge," TC third-year coach Rusty Lyon said. "It was so muddy, but I was still dancing."
The Grizzlies (4-2, 0-1) were denied four times inside the 5-yard line and twice at the 1. Running back Kylan Brocchini was stopped on third down by linebackers Johnny Humphres and Jordan Buchanan.
The clutch stand affirmed a big night by senior Eli Davis, a soccer and baseball star who scored all 10 points for Turlock Christian. His 40-yard field goal gave the Eagles a 3-0 halftime lead.
After Mariposa recovered its fumble in the end zone for a touchdown and a 7-3 lead midway through the third period, Davis received the kickoff and, hustling behind a picket fence of blockers, raced 80 yards along the Mariposa sideline for the go-ahead score.
WEEK SIX FOOTBALL RESULTS - TC EAGLES IMPROVE TO 6-0, 1-0 IN THE SL
TC 10, MARIPOSA 7 Turlock Journal Staff Reports - 10/17/07
TC High's varsity football team sent shock waves through the entire Southern League after opening conference with a 10-7 over the Mariposa High Grizzlies in Mariposa Friday night. After a scoreless first quarter, Eli Davis closed out the opening half with a 40-yard field goal that handed the Eagles a 3-0 lead going into the locker room.
After Derek Hooper gave Mariposa a 7-3 advantage in the third quarer with a four-yard touchdown run, the Eagles' multi-talented senior Davis answered with an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. That handed TC (1-0 SL, 6-0 overall) a three-point lead that they would eventually hang on to after a goal-line stand at the one on the final play of the ball game.
TC gained 86 total yards, and the Eagle defense held the Grizzlies to just 48 yards of offense. This friday, TC will host the Delhi Hawks at Livingston High School. Kick-off is at 7:30pm.

Turlock Christian's roster is full of "all-around" players, considering the team only has 18 players, three short of having a bare minimum 22 players, 11 for offense and 11 defense.
Kameron Holguin is one of TC's best all-around players. Holguin lit a fire under the Eagles from all sides of the ball on Friday night, contributing points on offense and special teams, and making big plays on defense in Turlock Christian's 43-6 routing of the Delhi Hawks on homecoming night. Holguin started things off early by returning the opening kickoff 96 yards off of a reverse for a touchdown, giving his team a 6-0 lead that would grow throughout the game. The 6 foot, one-inch, 170-pound senior also had a 33-yard punt return, a 32-yard interception return and a 40-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter that put the Eagles up 29-6. Holguin also made a 24-yard field goal right before halftime to give Turlock Christian a 15-6 lead.
 Senior Eli Davis also had a big game for the Eagles, rushing for 135 yards on 16 carries and two touchdowns, as well as kicking four extra points. Davis ran for 115 yards in the second half alone. He also made six tackles on the defensive side of the ball and made a key fumble recovery for the Eagles in the first quarter.
The Hawks fumbled on the first play of their first possession after Holguin's runback. Davis jumped on the ball and gave the Eagles great field position. Jordan Buchanan would punch the ball in for a touchdown four plays later. The Eagles missed the two-point conversion, leaving the score at 12-0 just two minutes, 35 seconds into the game. On Delhi's only scoring drive of the game, senior quarterback Jose Solorio connected with Taylor Ruiz for a 30-yard touchdown pass. The Hawks missed their try at the two-point conversion, leaving the score at 12-6.
The second quarter was very slow, as both teams traded three-and-out possessions back and forth all quarter long. Turlock Christian finally broke through when starting quarterback Axel Morelli gained 11 yards on third down to keep the Eagles' drive alive. Turlock Christian would move the ball inside the 15 yard line before Holguin came in to tack on three points before halftime. Morelli finished the game with seven completions on 15 attempts for 135 yards and two touchdowns.
The Eagles would blow the game open in the third quarter, taking a 29-6 lead off of Davis' first rushing touchdown and Holguin's touchdown reception. In the fourth quarter, Turlock Christian poured it on even more with two more scores. The Eagles got tricky with a 47-yard touchdown pass from Morelli to Ben Larsen on a flea-flicker, where Morelli handed it off to Buchanan, and then Buchanan tossed it back to Morelli after the Hawks' defense had already committed to the run, leaving Larsen wide open down the sideline for the score. The Eagles' final score came courtesy of Davis, who scored on a 19-yard dash to the endzone, weaving through traffic to put his team up by 37 points.
Turlock Christian ended the game with 316 total yards of offense, including 181 yards on the ground, and put up 43 points against a Delhi team that had only allowed an average of 15 points per game entering Friday night. The Eagles' defense held Delhi to just 48 yards of total offense on 45 plays, including the one touchdown pass from Solorio for 30 yards. The Eagles forced three turnovers and held the Hawks to 12 yards rushing on 27 attempts.
The win improves Turlock Christian's record to 7-0 overall and 2-0 in the Southern League. Delhi falls to 1-1 in the Southern League and 3-4 overall. The Eagles will next face LeGrand on the road in another Southern League contest on Friday. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

The Eagles' (8-0, 3-0) record-setting season continued, as Ben Larson caught a 37-yard TD pass and returned an interception 35 yards for a second score to beat the Bulldogs (3-5, 1-2).
TC had never opened the season with four consecutive wins, much less eight in a row. The Eagles face Waterford next week, then have a potential championship game with Denair the last week of the season.
TC 16, WATERFORD 13 at Waterford
Modesto Bee Staff Report - 11/2/07
WATERFORD - Eli Davis, Turlock Christian's do-everything star, has kicked the Eagles to within a win of an outright Southern League title. His 29-yard field goal with 2:03, followed by a dominant stand on defense, carried the surprising Eagles (9-0, 4-0) to a 16-13 win over Waterford on Friday night.
Turlock Christian, which dressed only 18 players due to several injuries, clinched a co-title and can finish an unbeaten regular season with a victory next week over Denair.
"I'm surprised a little bit that we're 9-0. I'm not surprised that we can compete. We haven't backed off against anyone," TC coach Rusty Lyon said. "Having come as far as we have, we're really motivated. We had a little letdown tonight, but there will be no letdown next week against a good Denair team." Ben Larson intercepted a halfback option pass at midfield to launch Turlock Christian's game-winning drive. Davis, subbing at quarterback for the injured Axel Morelli, passed 30 yards to Trevor Brown to the Waterford 10-yard line on a key third down. Undaunted by a touchdown called back by a penalty, Davis kicked for the winning points.

TC-Denair: 1st Annual Monte Vista Showdown!
|
John-Joel Griffiths - The Turlock Journal - 11/7/07
The game of the week is hands down, Turlock Christian vs. Denair varsity football. This is equivalent to placing two groups of pit-bulls in a cage, locking them up for nine weeks, then letting them run wild against each other like untamed lions. It's the most classic form of a 'Thursday night fight,' because for these two football programs, this game will forever go down in each of their history books.
Thursday night will mark the first-annual 'Monte Vista Showdown' between the Denair and Turlock Christian High varsity football squads. This rivalry has been brewing for the past four years - ever since Turlock Christian introduced its varsity football program. Over the last four years, the Eagles and Coyotes have had their fair share of battles on the gridiron. Not just in football, but in every single sport the two schools could possibly compete in. However, in football, there's a little more pride on the line. Not to mention the Eagles' perfect season, and a wagon wheel which will be awarded to the school that wins the rivalry game each and every November.
Yes, it's the 'Monte Vista Showdown,' and the winner of this match could either win a league championship outright, or have to share the Southern League title. Turlock Christian is currently 4-0 against the Southern League, 9-0 overall. The Eagles have flat out shocked the world, so to speak, especially with a short-handed roster that has been fighting injuries all season. If the Eagles are able to close out this 2007 campaign with a win Thursday night in Waterford, it will officially complete a perfect season. That's something Turlock Christian football has never done before, which could make for a historical night.
Denair is the defending SL champion. They finished 5-0 in 2006, and were the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V runner-up after falling against the Lindhurst High Blazers in the section championship. The Coyotes just suffered their first league loss in the last two years last Friday in front of a home audience. It was a ball game against the 2006 Southern League runner-up Mariposa High, a ball club that the Coyotes defeated in a quadruple-overtime contest last year. The Grizzlies came down from the mountains looking for revenge during Week 9, upsetting Denair 25-21 in front of a rather large home crowd on senior night. That dropped Denair's record to 3-1 in the SL, and 6-3 overall. Now the Coyotes will be looking for some redemption of their own.
With a victory, Denair could strip the outright title away from the Eagles' grips, which could force the two ball clubs to split a piece of the league crown. If Turlock Christian happens to lose, that could also cost the Eagles a first-round bye in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V postseason. The Eagles have never won a section title in football before, but never say never.
Turlock Christian is having a magical season thus far, and you can never count them out. And the Eagles' do-it-all senior Eli Davis is a legitimate reason why. Davis currently leads the Eagles with 16 touchdowns. Three other players below him are tied for second place with five apiece (Kameron Holguin, Ben Larson and Jordan Buchanan). Davis has 1,061 total all-purpose yards, and he's also the team's top kicker, and special team's returner. If the game happens to be a close one, at least the Eagles and coach Rusty Lyon have a reliable foot to count on.
Denair's leading scorer, senior Alex Correia, has tallied up 18 touchdowns this season, and has ran for 1,355 total yards rushing. Turlock Christian's defense will certainly have its work cut out for them against the Coyotes' potent offense and punishing running game.
No matter what happens, though, both teams are still guaranteed a spot in the postseason, considering the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V playoff committee lets the top two finishers from the Southern League in. There's just a whole lot of pride, bragging rights and a wagon wheel trophy at stake here. Not mention being named the winner of the first-ever Monte Vista Showdown.
Already-Soaring Eagles Eye 10-0, but Denair Looks to Ground Them
Richard T. Estrada - The Modesto Bee - 11/8/07
Each week that Turlock Christian High wins another football game, it sets another record.
The Eagles had never opened a season with as many as four consecutive wins prior to this year, but they're 9-0 heading into tonight's Southern League battle with Denair at Waterford High. There's more at stake than just a record 10th consecutive win, a perfect regular season and a league championship. The winner gets the league's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division VI playoffs.
While Denair (6-3, 3-1) is familiar with success, reaching the section final last year before losing 30-7 to Lindhurst, playing for a football title is new for TC (4-0 SL).
The Eagles have been a small-school soccer power, particularly the previous three years. Potent scorer Eli Davis led the Eagles to a section crown in 2005. But Davis traded soccer cleats for shoulder pads this fall. He not only kicks, catches and runs, but his 136 points put him No. 3 in the section. He played quarterback in last week's 16-13 win over Waterford, completing six of 14 passes for 74 yards in place of injured starter Axel Morelli. Morelli is expected to play tonight, but he is listed as day-to-day.
TC isn't the only team playing for a title tonight, as Davis (5-4, 3-1) can clinch a share of the Modesto Metro Conference title by winning at Downey (6-3, 2-2). Davis is tied for first with Beyer (4-5, 3-1), which faces Enochs on Friday. Downey is playing for its postseason life, as a Knights' victory and a Johansen win over Modesto on Friday would send first-year coach Jeremy Plaa and his team to the playoffs.
Also, Ceres (0-9, 0-6) hosts crosstown rival Central Valley (2-7, 1-5) in the final game for both.
Turlock Christian Football
Submitted by wdeboard 11/8/07
So it's the fifth year that Turlock Christian has played football, and tonight the Eagles are going for history when they take on Denair for the Southern League championship. Should the 9-0 Eagles beat the defending SL campion Coyotes, they'll win an outright league title, the No. 1 playoff seed (and the fist-round bye that goes with it) and they'll finish 10-0 Merced is the area's only other 9-0 team, and there are currently 42 undefeated teams across the state. That's rare compaany.
I'll be curious to see what kind of crowd shows up for this game. I"m guessing most of the SL followers will be around, as will many small-school fans. It's the nice thing about a Thursday game - many of the area's other football players are off so they tend to show up.

Turlock Christian Rallies to Cap Perfect Season -
Wins Southern Title! Will DeBoard - Modesto Bee - 11/9/07
WATERFORD – The Turlock Christian High football team’s dream season nearly ended Thursday night. The undefeated Eagles trailed defending Southern League champion Denair by 16 points midway through the third quarter and hadn’t done much of anything on offense. But as he has all season for Turlock Christian, Eli Davis provided the spark. Davis scored four consecutive touchdowns in the second half – and five for the game – as the Eagles rallied to a wild 32-30 victory over the Coyotes at Waterford High School Thursday night. Davis also made several big defensive plays, including an interception and a forced fumble, both coming in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles (10-0, 5-0) capped a perfect season, their first Southern League championship, and a bye in the first round of the upcoming Sac-Joaquin Section Div |
