Staff Writer Agoura quarterback Chris Denove finished Friday night's game against Calabasas on the bench with a sore ankle, but the pain he caused the Coyotes was considerably greater. Denove passed for 420 yards and three touchdowns as the Chargers overcame two early errors to earn a 42-26 nonleague victory at Calabasas. ``It felt tremendous,'' said Denove, a senior who completed 16 of 24 attempts before leaving the game early in the fourth quarter with a slightly sprained left ankle. ``We worked hard all summer to accomplish something like this and it all paid off tonight.''

Once Denove got hot, the Coyotes were all but powerless to stop the Chargers' offense. Denove spread the ball among three receivers, Jordan Grossbart (six catches, 120 yards), Brad Kahan (two catches, 102 yards) and Geogo Martin (three catches, 98 yards) and mixed things up by handing off to speedy tailback tail·back n.

Altman rushed 14 times for 112 yards and one touchdown, and also caught a 42-yard scoring pass on the fifth play of the second half. By that time, the Chargers had rallied for a 29-23 halftime lead, thanks to Altman's 1-yard run and a 41-yard scoring pass from Denove to Martin that began as a simple screen pass. ``The offensive line was just awesome,'' Denove said. ''They were opening up holes all over the place. We wouldn't have won if it wasn't for the offensive line.'' |
