Mead running back Matt Eddy ran the ball to the left and fumbled the ball as he was tackled by a host of Crusaders near the first down marker, a Crusader defender recovered the ball and possession went back to Village Christian.
Starting at the eight-yard line the Crusaders moved the ball down the field on the ground and through the air. From the 25-yard line Custer hit Tyler McGinniss in the corner of the end zone.
Making the score at the half 20-0 in favor of the Crusaders.
Rosemead opened up the second half with the ball and drove for 8:27 from its 29 to the VC 21 yard line. On a fourth and eight Cruz threw the ball to the open man, the ball clanked off his hands, giving the ball up in the red zone again and ending the Panthers final threatening drive.
The Crusaders were able to tack on two more rushing scores for good measure. One of the scores came from Custer from 17-yards out, the other from Aboul-hosn from 33-yards out.
