Football: El Toro 39, Claremont 10

Trey Tinsley has another big night, but it's not close to a record-setting one.

After completing a national record 50 passes in a section record 75 attempts a week ago, Trey Tinsley couldn’t avoid the spotlight. Turns out, he’s just fine when the lights are on him. The junior quarterback at El Toro threw a measly 43 times with six touchdowns as El Toro pulled even in the win column. Only twice this season has Tinsley thrown fewer passes in a game.

Score: El Toro 39, Claremont 10

Key Stats: Trey Tinsley completed 29 of 43 passes for 389 yards and six touchdowns.
