Palisades High’s frosh/soph football team scored five touchdowns last Friday afternoon and cruised to a 32-6 victory over Lynwood in its home opener at Stadium by the Sea. Defensive end Cory Richardson ignited the team and the crowd in the first quarter, recovering a Lynwood fumble on the Dolphins’ 20-yard line and returning it 80 yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter, an interception by Kristian Hawkins set up Willie Anderson’s 14-yard touchdown run. Palisades increased its lead to 20-0 by halftime. After recovering another fumble at their own 22-yard line, the Dolphins marched to another score that increased their lead to 21-0. Quarterback Nathan Dodson finished 3 of 4 for 150 yards. The Dolphins added touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters, on a 29-yard run by Anderson and a 50-yard pass from Dodson to wide receiver Malachi Beasley. Lynwood scored its only touchdown on the last play of the game. “I was pleased with the breadth of the scoring,” Palisades Head Coach Ray Marsden said. “However, the team needs to continue to improve in several areas to be victorious next week on the road against Granada Hills.” Through three games, Palisades’ frosh/soph has outscored its opposition 95-12. The Dolphins travel to Granada Hills for a nonleague game on Friday at 4 p.m.
