ORANGE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL / PREP EXTRA : Williams Does It All in Marina Victory Over Oilers

HUNTINGTON BEACH —  Mike Williams doesn’t really do everything for Marina. It just seemed that way.

Williams rushed for 220 yards and two touchdowns and threw for another in the Vikings’ 26-8 Sunset League victory over Huntington Beach before 3,600 Friday night.

The 195-pound senior ran for only 64 yards in the first half, but came alive after the break. He busted a 43-yard run on the final play of the third quarter, setting up his six-yard scoring run on the next play to give the Vikings (3-4, 1-1) a 20-8 lead. On Marina’s next possession, Williams broke loose for an 87-yard touchdown run that put the game out of reach.

Williams not only broke the 1,000-yard mark for the season--he has rushed for 1,102 yards and 12 touchdowns in seven games--but also became the Vikings’ top passer for 1995. He connected with James Owens on an 83-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.

Two second-quarter fumbles cost Huntington Beach (3-4, 0-2). Jason Locklin fumbled on first and goal at the Marina one-yard line, inches away from breaking a scoreless deadlock early in the period. After the Vikings had taken a 7-0 lead, Oiler Mershad Javan’s fumble inside his one-yard line was recovered by Marina safety Peter Mignosa in the end zone, giving the visitors a 14-0 lead with 1:17 left in the half.
