LOS AMIGOS ran away from Santiago on Thursday in their non-league season opener (Tribune photo).

Week Zero opened the local high school football campaign, and it was a bumpy one for teams in our West Orange County area, winning just four games.

On Thursday, Los Amigos defeated its former Garden Grove League rival Santiago 46-7. On Friday, Marina blanked Westminster 23-0, Huntington Beach bested Orange 56-42 and Garden Grove defeated Bellflower 42-0 in a strong debut for new Argonaut coach Matt LemMon.

Brady Edmunds of Huntington Beach High had an outstanding game, passing for 185 yards and four touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, Starlone Thomas – a freshman – threw for 442 yards and four scores for the Orange Panthers.

Oiler special teams made the difference, as they scored on an interception and two kickoff returns.

Los Amigos’ win over Santiago was powered by a potent running attack. Raul Cruz rushed for 89 yards and Issac Galindo ran for 86 yards. They totaled five touchdowns.

The sole Cavalier score came on a 54-yard run by Ozzy Granados.

Garden Grove High’s football team– with just three returning starters on offense – had an impressive opening night with Jayden Dean and Quentin Pacelli powering a strong ground game.

The Argonauts will take on former Garden Grove League and district rival Pacifica next Friday at Bolsa Stadium. Grove will be playing in the new Kappa League, opening conference play on Oct. 4 hosting Esperanza.
