CANOGA PARK GETS DOWN TO BUSINESS WINBORN HURT, RUSHES FOR 93 CANOGA PARK 38, GRANT 7.


Byline: LEE BARNATHAN Special to the Daily News

CANOGA PARK -- It wasn't a surprise to anyone who follows Sunset Six League football that Canoga Park's strategy to beat Grant of Van Nuys was to keep Fred Winborn out of action.

Little did the Hunters know that two weeks ago Winborn helped them by injuring his ankle, and Friday night, host Canoga Park went about its business while Grant imploded.

Canoga Park quarterback Erle Eddy threw three of his five touchdown passes to Kyle Boas BOA British Orthopaedic Association., and the Hunters easily handled the Lancers 38-7, setting up next week's league showdown against defending champion Verdugo Hills of Tujunga.

Eddy helped stake Canoga Park (7-1, 3-0) to a 31-0 halftime lead with scoring passes of 9, 23 and 12 yards to Boas before hitting Jaime Martinez for a 25-yard score. He later found Eddie Jaime for a 23-yard touchdown, and completed 12 of 18 passes for 193 yards. Martinez, meanwhile, looked more like Winborn, cutting and bouncing off tackles en route to 107 rushing yards on 15 carries. He also intercepted a pass. < Winborn ran 22 times for a season-low 93 yards, with only three carries for more than 10 yards -- including a 27-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter -- for Grant (6-2, 2-2).

``Horrible game,'' Winborn said. ``To me, I don't think I was running like I could run, but I won't use that as an excuse. They beat us fair and square.''

Winborn injured his left ankle on Oct. 13 against Verdugo Hills. Winborn rested during last week's bye and did not practice this week in preparation for Canoga Park. Before the game, he estimated his ankle at ``85, 90 percent,'' and downgraded that to ``75 percent, I'd say'' afterward.

Boas said he didn't know Winborn was hurt from watching film. Without Winborn, it was up to Grant quarterback Armando Orozco to make up the difference, and the junior completed just 3 of 18 passes with an interception for 30 yards. He also wasn't helped by five illegal-motion penalties by the offensive line and several dropped passes.

``(Winborn's) the only one who could beat us,'' Eddy said.

Despite its large margin of victory, Canoga Park fumbled six times, losing four of them. Martinez fumbled four times, losing two, and said he knows he will have to hold onto the ball better next week.
