South Hills Best in San Antonio; Swamps Rowland

By Corey Kwok 

(Rowland Heights) – Geoffrey Vaughns rushed for a career best five touchdowns amassing 180 yards on 20 carries, and the South Hills defense did the rest in a 42-14 win over Rowland Friday night. It was the Huskies sixth San Antonio title this decade. 

Jacob Shirley connected with Dakota Behr and Andrew Roddy for 16 and 36 yards before Vaughns sliced a 28 yarder that set up his own score from six yards out a little over a minute into the contest. 

Huskie two way lineman Peter Nonu took advantage of a Leonardo Freeman fumble at his own 10, and two lays later Vaughns punched it in for the second time to make it 14-0. Joining in on the defensive end as well was Behr who picked up two fumbles off botched punt returns. 

Rowland punted on the ensuing series but regained possession as the return was batted around before Danny Garcia grabbed it 22 yards from the end zone. Freeman found Steven David up the middle for a gain of 16 to the six. A South Hills false start led to a three yard score by Garcia to make it 14-7. But the Raiders never scored again until the fourth quarter as South Hills passed the pylons twice more prior to halftime. 

Vaughns scored again as the first half expired. Shirley fired a 43 yard hook and ladder to Umodu who shook off several Rowland tackles to hit pay dirt and the Dawgs led 28-7 at the break. Vaughns rounded out the Huskie scoring with his fourth and fifth touchdowns on the night from nine and seven yards out in the third. 

Umodu finished the night catching four passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. Jordan Gutierrez complemented the South Hills rushing attack going for 65 on 14 tries. 

Kicker Henry Calistro faked a punt and ran for a 27 yard gain, and Josh Onovughe found a gap for a 14 yard touchdown with 4:18 to go in the game as Rowland scored late. Onovughe ran for 62 over 25 attempts.
