ON THE RECORD

“That was the turning point. I thought I was throwing to Josh Holland, because we practiced it that way all week. I was just surprised it was Jason (De Vries) who caught the pass. It was a great play.”

--Tony Gonzalez, Huntington Beach tight end on De Vries’ 42-yard reception of his flea-flicker pass which helped set up the Oilers’ winning score in an 18-12 victory over Dominguez.
