Warriors blanked in football season opener at Westview

The Fallbrook High varsity football team lost its season opener on the road at Westview High in San Diego Aug. 25 and mental errors contributed greatly to the 41-0 defeat, according to new head coach Darius Pickett.

Pickett said mistakes were made on both sides of the ball as the Warriors sputtered on offense in their first game employing a spread formation, and gave up too many big plays on defense due to blown assignments and missed tackles.

Westview scored 14 points in both the first and second quarters and another 13 in the third quarter. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter.
