Chris Turner (born September 15, 1958 in Sheffield, where he attended Myers Grove School) is an English football manager. threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns as the host Eagles handed St. Francis of La Canada its first loss of the season 38-17 in a Mission League game. Chaminade (6-1, 2-0), in its first season under coach Ben McEnroe, is off to its best start since 1994. The Eagles were 2-8 last year. ``This was our first real test,'' Turner said. ``We did the same things as always and were successful. We can pass on anyone. Everyone on the team expected us to win.'' St. Francis (6-1, 1-1) hadn't allowed more than 14 points this season, but hadn't faced a team that could pass the ball like Chaminade. The Eagles had 16 points midway Midway, island group (2 sq mi/5.2 sq km), central Pacific, c.1,150 mi (1,850 km) NW of Honolulu, comprising Sand and Eastern islands with the surrounding atoll. Discovered by Americans in 1859, Midway was annexed in 1867. A cable station was opened in 1903. through the second quarter when Derron Juarez took a carry up the middle for a touchdown, set up by a 43-yard pass from Turner to Marcus Everett. Chaminade used its quick-strike offense again on its next possession, needing just two plays to score on a 40-yard pass from Turner to Adrian Adrian, Roman emperor Adrian, Roman emperor: see Hadrian.

Aye-Darko after St. Francis had turned the ball over on downs on an incomplete pass An incomplete pass is a term in American football which means that a legal forward pass hits the ground before a player on either team gains possession. For example, if the quarterback throws the ball to one of his wide receivers, and the receiver either does not touch it, or tries from a fake punt. Turner entered the week as the second-leading passer in the area, with 1,552 yards and 15 touchdowns on 88-of-142 passing. But there was doubt whether he would continue to perform against a top defense or would revert re·vert v. 1. To return to a former condition, practice, subject, or belief. 2. To undergo genetic reversion. back to last season when he had just two touchdown passes and 13 interceptions. Those questions were answered by halftime, when Turner had 173 yards passing. Turner got plenty of time to pass from his offensive line and took advantage of double coverage on Everett to find an open Aye-Darko all night long. Darko finished with eight catches for 158 yards. Everett, who entered the game averaging an area-leading 25.2 yards per catch (minimum 20 receptions), fended off the double teams to increase his average with 96 yards on just three catches. Chaminade's offense has been stellar all year. It's the defense that was a surprise, shutting out St. Francis in the second half (Scott Burton scored on a 99-yard kickoff return). Everett made two interceptions, sophomore Kyle Thompson Kyle Thompson (born April 25, 1979) is an American professional golfer. Thompson has been a member of the Nationwide Tour since 2003. He won two events in 2007 which put him in the top 25 on the money list which will earn him a PGA Tour card for 2008. added another and Dillon Moore Moore, city (1990 pop. 40,761), Cleveland co., central Okla., a suburb of Oklahoma City; inc. 1887. Its manufactures include lightning- and surge-protection equipment, packaging for foods, and auto parts. set up his own score with a pick late in the fourth quarter. ``This was as big a game as Chaminade has had in years,'' McEnroe said. ``The defense played lights out.'' Chaminade was 5-1 against slightly above-average competition. Beating St. Francis, ranked No. 6 by the Daily News, is the first marquee victory for the Eagles and gives Chaminade the inside track on at least third place in the Mission League. The Eagles haven't made the playoffs since 2000. ``This was a key game,'' Turner said. ``Everyone knew that if we win this game, the playoffs are right around the corner.''
