Breakdown: The Sea Kings (4-0) host the Tritons (5-0) on Thursday in a battle of Orange County powers to close out nonleague play … Last season, CdM defeated San Clemente 21-20 on the road … CdM, ranked No. 3 in the CIF Southern Section Division 3 poll, has yet to play in a game decided by a single score. The Washington-bound Garbers has committed just two turnovers through four games, with both of those coming in a 42-14 win at Mountain View St. Francis … Schlom, a speedster who also returns kicks, has had at least 95 receiving yards in every game, including a pair of three-touchdown performances to begin the season … Defense played a big role in San Clemente overcoming a 14-point deficit in a 28-21 comeback victory over Edison last week. The Tritons have now secured 17 turnovers on defense this year.
