[Norwalk] – Norwalk continued where they left off last week and ran through Santa Fe with a 48-13 victory Friday night at Norwalk high school.
The Lancers took the ball first and marched down field but capped it off with a touchdown pass from Nick Barrera to Derek Sandoval, the extra point was missed.
The Chiefs made their way down field but for the second week in a row Tyler Burton snatched an interception this time off Andrew Lopez to give the Lancers the ball back.
Barrera again took to the air this time finding Ezra Meuller for a 12-yard score, making it 12-0 after a failed extra point.
Santa Fe got on the board when they kept the ball on the ground and Devin Clark found paydirt for cut into the lead 12-7.
Norwalk went to the bread and butter pounding the rock and Diego Cerritos got in the end zone after running over defenders.
The Chiefs answered right back when Clark broke one for a 39-yard touchdown making it 18-13 after a failed two- point conversion.
Lancers scored just before halftime when Axel Bustemante took over for a banged up Barrera and found Meuller for a 26-yard touchdown making it 26-13 at the half.
On the kickoff to start the second half Norwalk kicked off and a Chiefs player watched the ball bounce and Edward Deleon blasted the player and Juan Campos recovered the ball for the Lancers.
Sandoval found the end zone again a few plays later to make the lead 34-13.
The Lancers dominated the second half forcing multiple punts and turn overs.
Meuller found the end zone two more times on the ground with scores of 12 and 43-yards.
Campos recovered his second fumble of the game and Papo Lieataua and Joel Espinoza made multiple tackles in the backfield.
Norwalk improved to 2-0 will wait to see if they could book a game in the next two weeks after Glenn pulled out of their rivalry game, while Santa Fe (1-1) looks to heal up as they face Buena Park next week.
Too much celebrating over last years season as well. Pioneer makes everyone this side of Loara look good
I like what the coaches are doing at sf bit last night they didn’t have an answer for anything. Our players kept talking like we’ve won something, coaches weren’t redirecting them from looking like morons.
And that 605 team is their long time rival in the mayors cup.
Go check MaxPreps
Thats waht they get for scheduling a 605 League team. It is their fault if they have no game next week. Pley somebody Norwalk.
