The Huntington Beach Oilers erupted in a 42-14 victory over Millikan, a performance that left the local crowd roaring and national scouts taking note.
Edmunds’ Multi-Dimensional Threat
Edmunds completed 24 of 31 passes for 434 yards and six touchdowns, while also adding 30 rushing yards, underscoring his dual-threat capability.
The first big strike came early in the second quarter when he connected with Arizona State commit Dylin Bruce on an 82-yard touchdown pass that shifted momentum decisively.
Skyler Robinson contributed a 36-yard scoring strike, extending the lead to 28-7 and showcasing the Oilers’ deep receiving corps.
Coach Romeo Pellum, who guided Millikan, described Edmunds as the best quarterback in the country, praising his competitive fire and the variety of throws he can execute.
Rams’ Resilient Effort
Millikan’s offense managed 138 passing yards from Jonah Tuaniga and 107 total yards from Ryan Carter, but a holding penalty and a missed field goal before halftime allowed the Oilers to build a 14-0 lead.
The Rams fell to 0-1 and will travel to Loyola next week, while Huntington Beach, now 1-0, prepares to host Los Alamitos before Edmunds departs for college.
Football fans can still catch the senior in action when he returns to Wilson on September 4, offering a final high-school showcase before he heads to Ohio State.
