Faith Baptist High Coach Harry Morgan wasn't mincing words--his offense did not block, and his team did not win.
Pasadena Poly shut off Faith Baptist to 86 yards rushing and 36 passing to win, 19-0, in the first round Saturday of the Eight-Man Large School Conference football playoffs.
There was little conjecture to how Poly (8-1) had beaten Baptist (6-4).
"We couldn't run the ball at all, so they just sat back and waited for us to throw," Morgan said. "We can't block offensively."
Quarterback Todd Stadig of Faith Baptist--throwing under a lot of pressure--completed just 2 of 12 passes, and two were intercepted.
Poly defensive back Frank Grant picked off Stadig twice, the second setting up a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Vince Duffy. That came with 6:05 left in the game and all but secured a semifinal next week between third-seeded Poly and No. 1 Templeton.
