Dolphins Football Drops Two Games to Start Season
The Dana Hills football game lost back to back games against Tustin and Corona del Mar, respectively, to start their 2014 campaign.
On Sept. 4, the Dolphins traveled to Newport Harbor High School to play the Sea Kings, last year’s CIF-SS Southwest Division champion and owner of a current state-best 28 winning streak.
Corona del Mar used their wealth of impact players to dismantle Dana Hills in a 37-0 shutout. Sea Kings receiver Bo St. Geme caught two touchdown passes and Chase Garbers ran for two scores in the win.
Against Tustin in their season opener, the Dolphins were plagued by turnovers and a slow start.
The first half was all Tustin, as the visitors piled up a healthy 20-0 lead at halftime. The second half, however, belonged to Dana Hills. The Dolphins righted the ship in the third quarter and slowly chipped away at the Tillers’ lead.
Dana Hills narrowed the score following a touchdown pass from Cole Wilber to Jay Schuyler and a touchdown run by Brian Scott in the fourth quarter to make it 20-14.
The Dolphins had a chance to take the lead with the clock winding down in the fourth, but a Hail Mary attempt by Wilber was intercepted in the end zone to seal the win for the Tillers.
Dana Hills will travel to play rival San Clemente on Sept. 12.
Dolphins Cross Country Digs in For New Season
The Dana Hills boys and girls cross country teams come into the new season on the heels of successful runs in 2013.

Both the boys and girls teams were named the No. 3 team in their respective CIF-SS Preseason Rankings. Both teams compete in Division 1.
The two teams will open their seasons at the Laguna Hills Invitational at Laguna Hills High School on Sept. 13.
