Sophomore Brevin White has taken over as Alemany's starting quarterback, and his season-opening performance gave every indication of his potential.
He completed 12 of 21 passes for 274 yards and five touchdowns in a 61-7 win over Garfield.
Alemany's improved defense allowed just 43 yards rushing. That's a key development considering how many teams in the Mission League plan to run the ball this season.
Linebacker Guy Alford had seven tackles, including a sack. Linebacker Lamin Touray had nine tackles.
Jarrin Pierce caught two touchdowns and made some impressive punt returns.
Next up for Alemany is a Friday game in Oceanside against Colony in the Honor Bowl.
