By Alex Gonzalez
(West Covina)— The Los Altos Conquerors completed a perfect season by defeating the West Covina Bulldogs, 24-0, Friday night at West Covina, claiming the Hacienda League title in the process.
Both schools struggled scoring points in the first half. West Covina drove down the field on their opening possession and had a shot at an early lead midway though the first quarter but Brandon Gonzalez missed the 24-yard field goal.
WestCo had another shot at points later in the quarter but Anthony Ramiro was stuffed on fourth and short and the Bulldogs turned the ball over on downs. Following the turnover, WestCo’s offense tightened up and was forced to punt on their next five possessions of the game.
Meanwhile, Los Altos struggled to move the ball on offense as well. They too were forced to punt on their first three possessions of the game. The Conquerors didn’t put points on the board until 16 seconds left in the second quarter when Hunter White spilt the uprights for the 22-yard field goal.
The game’s first touchdown came on Los Altos’ first possession of the second half. Kody Olmos dropped back and found Art Vargas running the slant route for the 9-yard score with 8:57 to play in the third quarter. Conquerors lead 10-0 following the touchdown pass.
Los Altos then added two more rushing scores in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. Tyler Nevens high stepped his way for the 14-yard with 10:52 left. Then, with 2:55 left in regulation, he added his second rushing score to put the score 24-0
With the win, Los Altos awaits for their first round opponent in next weeks CIF playoffs and West Covina awaits for an at-large bid.
