After losing to their other inter-city rival Centennial last week, the Tarbabes (1-2, 0-0) knocked off the Dons to earn a split in the battle for the Compton Cup Friday night at Dominguez High.

Andrew Duvea scored with 3:28 left in the game to overcome a 10-8 deficit on a one-yard rush. The win was the first for the Tarbabes over the Dons since 2009.

The Dons (0-3, 0-0) overcame an 8-0 deficit with a 25-yard field goal from Edgar Vasquez and a 47-yard touchdown pass from Ja’uan Tate to Eric Black as time expired in the half.

The Lancers (2-1, 0-0) dominated the Milk Bucket rivalry game, shutting out a disjointed Monsoon (0-3, 0-0) team who had to debut a new quarterback Friday night at Lakewood High’s Ford Field.

Quarterback Chris Bell completed 14 of 23 passes for 165 yards, hitting eight different receivers. Robert Burdette scored twice for the Lancers, including the first Lancer touchdown from three yards out.

Christian Woo, the Monsoons’ quarterback for the first two games of the season, left the team earlier in the week, prompting head coach Mike Fitch to start the sophomore Zach Munoz in his place.

Rashaad Penny and Bryan Sullivan combined for nearly 300 yards and five touchdowns as the Lancers (3-0, 0-0) rolled through the Bears (0-2, 0-0) Friday night at Warren High.

The Vaqueros (2-0, 0-0) overcame a 14-12 deficit in the fourth quarter to knock off the Titans (1-1, 0-0) Friday night at Bolsa Grande High.

Quarterback Matt Culbert threw nine of 14 passes for 125 yards, and threw two key touchdowns in the game, a 26-yard pass in the second quarter to Robert Torres and one with 6:35 left in the game to Jose Valenzuela to give the Vaqueros the victory.

Rancho Cucamonga 54, Muir 14

The Cougars (2-1, 0-0) took their anger over last week’s loss to Servite out on the still-winless Mustangs (0-3, 0-0) Friday night at Los Osos High.

The Cougars held a 10-0 lead in the first quarter when Cougar linebacker Viliami Latu put eight points on the board in two separate plays; a 27-yard fumble recovery then recorded a safety as he chased Mustang quarterback Josh Muema 20 yards into the end zone for the sack.

The Mustangs made a game of it in the third quarter as they scored two touchdowns in a span of 11 seconds. Muema scored a touchdown from a yard out, then after the kickoff, Antowione Davis recovered a Cougar fumble and ran it back 35 yards for a touchdown.

San Juan Hills 38, Artesia 13

Two third-quarter fumbles by the Pioneers (1-2, 0-0) allowed the Stallions (3-0, 0-0) to break open the game as they remained undefeated Friday night at Artesia High.

After leading at halftime 21-13, a fumble recovery by Kyle Moses set up Stallions quarterback Jacob Gibson to complete a 10-yard pass to Curren Lapes with less than seven minutes left in the quarter. Then, Kyle Mucerino recovered a fumble on the Pioneer 35-yard line. ON the ensuing possession Gibson hit Mucerino for the score.

Although the Pioneers held a 6-0 lead on Francisco Galan’s 25-yard pass to Tytus Simmons, they lost the lead late in the first on a one-yard run by Brad Kremer and a 25-yard interception return by Brennan Walsh.

West Covina 21, South Hills 7

The “Cameron Ave. Conflict” was a relief to the Bulldogs (1-2, 0-0) who ended a surprising two-loss slide as they knocked off the Huskies (2-1, 0-0) Friday night at Covina District Field.

The fourth quarter proved to be the turning point as Aaron Salgado broke a 7-7 tie with two touchdowns in the final frame. Salgado broke the tie with 7:22 left in the game as he broke away for a 57-yard touchdown. Salgado scored later in the quarter on a 16-yard run.

The Bulldogs suffered a major loss as defensive end Justin Hornsby injured his leg while assisting on a sack of Huskies quarterback Adam Goss that stopped a drive by the Huskies. Hornsby had to be taken off the field on a stretcher with his leg in an air cast.
