“Our defense played lights out,” McInally said. “We forced six turnovers, five interceptions and one fumble recovery.”

Sam Lara led Calvary Chapel in tackles, Gavin Ghahyasi had a pick six and a forced fumble, Robbie Thomas had two interceptions and Jackson Pellkofer and Luke Huffman each had an interception.

“Coach josh Cummings is our defensive coordinator and called an incredible game,” McInally said. “He was a huge reason Costa Mesa was able to turn things around last year, but we were lucky to be able to have him on our staff this year.:”

Matt Peters rushed for more than 150 yards and one touchdown.

“Offensively we struggled but we are young and will get better.”
