Callian and Young lead Vaqs win

Irvine High's talented freshman running back DaVonte Young shared the spotlight Thursday night in a Pacific Coast League game against Corona del Mar at Irvine Stadium.
Young rushed for 142 yards on 25 carries and one touchdown in Irvine's 26-0 victory over the Sea Kings.
But junior place-kicker Tim Callian also came through, kicking four field goals to help Irvine (5-2, 2-0) retain a share of the league lead.
"I don't think I've ever had a kicker make four field goals," Irvine Coach Terry Henigan said. "That's pretty good, and he kicked off well for us. He was a big part of the victory, that's for sure."
Irvine's defense was solid, too, limiting the Sea Kings to just 53 yards passing and 130 yards rushing.
Corona del Mar (4-3, 0-2) was led by Jeff Condino, who rushed for 50 yards on 16 carries.
The Sea Kings were without their leading rusher, J.D. Abbott, who missed his second straight game with a sprained ankle.
"They played well, they're missing a great high school running back," Henigan said. "We played against him last year and he's something else, but we played hard, that's for sure.
"It was a great team victory."
Irvine moved ahead on a 1-yard touchdown run by Andrew Hills with 5:24 left in the first quarter.
The touchdown was set up when quarterback Allen Merritt connected with Matt Van on a 59-yard play. Van hauled in the pass, which was tipped by a Corona del Mar defender.
The Vaqueros then took a 14-0 lead on a 7-yard TD run by Young with four minutes left in the first quarter.
Callian added a 35-yard field goal and 29-yard field goal in the second quarter to make it 20-0.
He then kicked field goals of 35 and 46 yards in the second half.
Merritt was effective for Irvine, completing 5 of 10 passes for 92 yards.
