Drake Martinez said just days prior to the Orange County North-South All-Star Football Game at Orange Coast College, that he wanted his final prep performance to end in a win for his South team.
That's exactly what the 2013 Laguna Beach High graduate and his squad earned on June 28 with a 7-3 victory over the North.
Quarterback Alek Torgersen of Edison High threw a 35-yard touchdown late in the first half of the 54th annual game for senior players at LeBard Stadium. His scoring pass went to wide receiver Scott Hoover of San Juan Hills and it put the South in front to stay, 7-3, with 4:46 left before halftime.
Torgersen was given the Offensive Player of the Game award. South defensive end Garrett Marino of Mission Viejo, and North lineman Izak Faoa of Marina, each of whom had four sacks, shared the Defensive Player of the Game award.
