FULLERTON — The Fullerton football team used a combination of a stingy defense and explosive plays to earn a 21-0 victory over Marina on Friday night at Fullerton High.

The Indians (6-2, 2-1) move into a second-place tie with Sunny Hills (6-2, 2-1), which they will face next week.

After a winless 0-10 season last year, Fullerton is possibly one victory away from securing a CIF-SS playoff berth.

“When we started this thing, our goal was not to rebuild over the course of three or four years,” Indians coach Pete Karavedas said. “It was to go from an 0-10 season to the playoffs in year one. And we’re one game away from that right now.”

Big plays were on full display for the Indians offense in the first half as they scored three touchdowns, all of which were over 40 yards.
