Crespi passing game picks apart Saugus defense

ENCINO — Crespi scored on all six of its first-half possessions to put Saugus away early in a 50-0 win on Friday at Crespi High School.

Saugus (1-4) fell behind 20-0 after the first quarter due to a passing attack that picked apart the Centurions’ secondary.

While the toughest part of Saugus’ schedule is over, the most important part is about to begin, and that’s what Saugus head coach Jason Bornn emphasized to his team after the lopsided loss.

Saugus should get a gift receipt for this one.

Taft of Woodland Hills was a giving mood Friday night at Cougar Stadium, committing 17 penalties for 132 yards.

Yet Saugus did very little with the extra opportunities and lost its third straight game, this one a 14-3 setback.

Saugus head football coach Jason Bornn threw out an analogy this week about his team.

It went something like this: If a car salesman worked his butt off to get a monthly bonus and at the end of the month that bonus didn’t come through, then the salesman should be satisfied with the effort put in, but still frustrated that the bonus didn’t come through.

NEWBURY PARK — Just three games into the 2009 football season, it is easy to see where the Saugus Centurions attention is focused — the Foothill League season.

After their second loss to a top-10 Northern Division team, this time a 41-21 defeat against Newbury Park Friday, the Centurions (1-2) are taking their lumps early while learning lessons for the future.

“It’s all to get us ready for league play,” said Saugus head coach Jason Bornn. “We play these teams to push us and challenge us. We know that when we hit league we will have played the toughest schedule to prepare us for league play.”
