The ghouls and goblins showed up an evening early at Mission Bay High as the previously unbeaten Buccaneers had a frightful time against Point Loma (6-3, 2-1), losing 41-0 in a nightmare on Grand Avenue. Two first-quarter penalties, two turnovers and missed tackles by the Bucs created a horrific sequence of events that ended with the Pointers in charge 20-0 with four minutes left in the first quarter. “We had the penalties and a fumbled snap and then everything kind of spiraled down from there,” Mission Bay coach Willie Matson said. “Point Loma outplayed us. They played great.” To start the game, Mission Bay returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, but that long run was nullified by a penalty. The Bucs then went three-and-out. On the Pointers\u2019 first possession, running back Jaylen Griffin sliced and diced the Bucs defense for a 61-yard touchdown run. But the Bucs came back with a 35-yard pass from Jaiden Correa to Michael Sanders to get to the Point Loma 8-yard-line. A penalty forced the Bucs back to the 22, and on third down Correa’s pass was intercepted at the goal line. Two plays later, Griffin swept right and cut up the sideline for a 71-yard touchdown run. On the Bucs\u2019 next possession, the snap was fumbled and Point Loma scooped the loose ball and scored 40 yards later to make it 20-0. In the second quarter, Griffin added a 42-yard touchdown run on another sweep right. On the Pointers’ first possession of the second half, Griffin burst up the middle untouched for 26-yard touchdown run, and the game was essentially over. “We really got smacked pretty good. We just didn’t have it tonight,” Matson said. “From here on out, it’s how we deal with this and how we bounce back.”
