BHHS Football Team Routed in Season Finale

An injury-depleted Beverly High football team ended its season with a 41-0 loss at Culver City Friday night in an Ocean League game.

The Normans had about 20 varsity players in uniform and were forced to start at least five sophomores, including one making his varsity debut, according to coach Donald Paysinger. Beverly Hills (2-8, 1-4 in league play) was out-gained 307 yards to 58. The Normans deepest penetration was to their own 43-yard line. We didnt play well, Paysinger said. We were trying to put a team out there with a bunch of injuries and we didnt get it done. The shutout was the fourth suffered by the Normans this season. They were held to seven points or less in three other games and outscored 290-98 for the season. Paysinger said the team met his pregame goal of playing hard. Beverly Hills forced Culver City (6-4, 3-2) to punt on its first possession. The Centaurs scored touchdowns on each of their next five possessions and led 35-0 at halftime. The Normans are 0-8-2 against Culver City since 2002 including a 43-0 loss in 2011. Beverly Hills finished fifth in the sixteam Ocean League, failing to qualify for the Southern Section playoffs for the second consecutive season. The Normans were also 2-8 in 2011, their worst record since 1993, when they were also 2-8.
