NOTES AND QUOTES for a Monday in the Napa Valley:

Fairfield scored 25 points in the third quarter of last week’s 62-0 blowout of Vintage High School at Napa Memorial Stadium, but Falcons coach Jack Canavesio said he was not trying to run the score up on the winless Crushers.

Fairfield took a 34-0 lead into the locker room at halftime and attempted eight passes in the third quarter of the Monticello Empire League football game. Canavesio defended the Falcons’ play, saying they do more passing than running.

“I’m not that type of person that wants to run up the score or anything like that,” Canavesio said Sunday. “I respect (Vintage coach) Billy (Smith) and all that. It’s unfortunate they have a down year this year.”

Fairfield (5-2 overall, 1-1 MEL) scored on all but one possession, and that was only because time ran out on the Falcons in the first half after they took over on their own 27-yard line and used four running plays to generate 39 yards.

Fairfield set school records for biggest shutout, most points scored on the road, biggest margin of victory on the road and total offense (650 yards). The Falcons also had 29 first downs.

“I do basically more passing than running,” said Canavesio. “My basic offense is pass, pass, pass — period.”

Tra’Mayne Bondurant passed for 279 yards and five touchdowns and ran for a score, De’vonte Street rushed for 80 yards and three TDs, and Ta’lon McKinley caught three TD passes to lead Fairfield.

A fake punt in the fourth quarter resulted in a 43-yard running play for Fairfield.

“My call was to punt the ball,” said Canavesio.

Fairfield’s final points came on a 34-yard field goal with 1:54 to go.

“That’s a new kicker I’ve got — he’s never tried it,” said Canavesio. “I’ve got a chance to try to see what he can do.”

Canavesio said the Falcons’ backups were in the game throughout the fourth quarter.

Vintage (0-7 overall, 0-2 MEL) is on the road Friday against Vacaville (6-1 overall, 2-0 MEL). The Bulldogs are averaging 49.1 points per game.

Jessica Ponce, representing the Napa Sheriff’s Activities League, lost in the finals of the 2009 National Police Activities League Championships over the weekend to Laura Ramirez of New York, who is ranked No. 1 by USA Boxing.

Competing in the 101-pound division in San Antonio, Ponce had the lead in the fourth and final round, but prior to the final bell, the referee gave her a point-deduction warning for ducking too low. In amateur Olympic-style boxing with computer scoring, that means the other boxer gets two points.

Ramirez recently won a silver medal at the Women’s Continental Championships in Ecuador, where she represented Team USA.

Ponce, who is a student at Napa Valley College, drew a bye in preliminary action, and then beat Paola Arana of Duarte, Calif., in a semifinal match up.

Ponce, ranked No. 8 by USA Boxing, was part of a three-member Napa SAL contingent that traveled to the nationals with a team of Northern California boxers.
