Ford Greens stellar game powers Westlake football | College News
About 5 miles separate Agoura and Westlake high colleges, but there appeared to be a great deal more distance between them Friday evening, as host Westlake throttled the Chargers 38-7 in a nonleague game.
Most of that hole got here via the fitting arm of sophomore quarterback Ford Green, who dissected the Chargers, finishing 14 of 18 passes for 257 yards and 4 touchdowns. For Green, and the Warriors (2-0), the victory eradicated any lingering doubts about their season-opener last week, a thrilling, 32-26 triple-overtime win against Newbury Park. Though Green threw two touchdowns last week and ran for the successful landing, he threw two interceptions and tallied only 139 yards through the air.
Against Agoura (1-1), Green accomplished his first 10 passes and completed the first half with three touchdowns and 219 yards. He added a fourth landing in the third quarter. Westlake completed the scoring in the fourth on a one-yard plunge by working back Nazir Esanbor and a 35-yard discipline aim by kicker Gabriel Goroyan.
“Last week showed how we fight as a team when we come together, but tonight showed how we can dominate,” Green said.
Though graced with two top-flight receivers in Charles Davis and Demare Dezeurn, both of whom have dedicated to Cal, Green unfold the wealth Friday, finishing passes to six Warriors. Those included a 14-yard strike to Davis on the Warriors’ first possession and a 57-yard landing move to freshman Drew Gamboa later in the first quarter. Green also accomplished a 58-yard second-quarter landing move to Erik Green and a 29-yard move to Dezeurn early in the fourth.
While praising Green’s composure, accuracy, consistency and really feel, Westlake coach Rick Clausen also singled out the offensive line.
“Obviously Game 1 wasn’t what we were looking for, but they practiced really hard this week and focused on what they needed to work on and didn’t worry about the exterior stuff,” he said, “They gave [Ford] the chance to succeed.”
Ford trumpeted the depth of his receiving corps.
“I trust every single one of my receivers that they can get the job done and they did,” he said. “And we’re a brotherhood, a family, and the ball gets spread out. Even if one guy is doing really well, I know every one of them will be ready when it’s their time.”
