Corona del Mar captures second straight CIF championship

ANAHEIM — When Corona del Mar High wins CIF Southern Section football titles, the school does so in consecutive years.

The top-seeded Sea Kings completed their back-to-back Southern Division championship run with a convincing 35-10 victory against No. 3 Garden Grove on Saturday at Angel Stadium.

Under Coach Scott Meyer, the Sea Kings finished 12-2 overall for the second straight year.

The previous time CdM won two straight section championships was in 1988-89.

The Sea Kings opened the scoring on Garden Grove’s first pass attempt, as Alex Moore took back an interception 30 yards for the touchdown, just 12 seconds into the game.

CdM senior quarterback Cayman Carter rushed for two touchdowns and threw a TD pass.

Sea Kings kicker Griff Amies tied the state record for most field goals in a season when he nailed a 43-yard field goal for his 22nd of the season.
