Mission College Prep 19 Lompoc 14
Mission College Prep remains perfect in league play and they’re dancing right alongside Arroyo Grande for that top spot in the Mountain League.
Ronnie Kardashian keeps pounding the run game. That paired with an impressive showing from sophomore quarterback Thomas Glenn, who connected well with his receivers, allowed the Royals to edge out the Braves with under a minute remaining in the game.
The Royals trailed 14-13 with 20 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Glen found Drew Souza in the back of the endzone for a touchdown. They kicked their extra point and time ran out on the Braves on their home field.
The Lompoc Braves held a nice 14-7 lead after the first half and it looked like Mission Prep’s run game had been contained.
Senior Tony Arango, typically capable of moving the chains on the ground, didn’t have an answer for the Braves offense after the first half when Mission Prep’s defense showed just why they’re undefeated in league play.
Atascadero 20 Templeton 16
Although River Waltmire provided all 16 points for Templeton as a kicker and runnin back but it was a late touchdown pass from Atascadero quarterback Kane Cooks to Mason Degnan that gave them a 20-16 lead with 1:32 left in the game.
