(Azusa) \u2013 For the second straight year, West Covina got the best of Glendora with an exciting 33-28 victory at Citrus College.<\/p>\n

For the Bulldogs it was their third straight win and dropped the Tartans out of the ranks of the unbeaten.<\/p>\n

“That is a good football team,” said West Covina head coach Mike Maggiore. “We knew we had to score some points to be on the winning end.”<\/p>\n

It took the Glendora 38-minutes to take the lead on the Bulldogs when Tartans quarterback Chad Jeffries snuck in from one-yard out.<\/p>\n

In a matter of seconds Bulldogs running back B.J. Lee took the ensuing kickoff at the 16-yard line, found a sliver of a seam and sprinted home for an 84-yard kickoff return that was the difference in the game.<\/p>\n

The ground game from West Covina led by Chris Soloman\u2019s 163 yards rushing and a touchdown kept Glendora guessing for the entire game.<\/p>\n

George Johnson did more damage with his feet as closed out with 83 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Johnson also added a touchdown through the air and was six of eight for 80 yards.<\/p>\n

Jeffries had a stellar night leading the Tartans offense, completing 17 of 21 for 248 yards and a touchdown. Jeffries would also run for 65 yards and add three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

The normally reliable Glendora offense that accounted for three turnovers on the night, none bigger than Corey Victoria\u2019s fumble at the Tartan 20-yard line that led to a Chris Guzman recovery at the 28-yard line. One play later Soloman would score his only touchdown from 28-yards to break a scoreless tie with 8:29 remaining in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

“Our defense was fortunate to cause some turnovers,” said Maggiore. “It also helps to have a work horse like Soloman who can run all day.”<\/p>\n

Both teams would see-saw back and forth from then on with both quarterbacks doing the scoring. Jeffries would add scores of six and seven-yards out, while Johnson scampered from eight yards out and made a nifty play-action bootleg score from 37-yards to end the half.<\/p>\n

As the second half began, it was apparent that Jeffries would find more success in the air. Jeffries showed why many consider him a top-ranked prospect with an authoritative seven-play drive that ended with Dillon Downard (Five catches for 65 yards) with a touchdown reception from 22-yards out and Jeffries flat on his back after West Covina linebacker Maurice Dupleasis left his calling card on the quarterback.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs would answer right back with a quick four-play drive that Johnson capped with a 29-yard pass to a wide open Anthony Molina to give West Covina a 27-21 lead.<\/p>\n

Jeffries tried to lead Glendora back late in the fourth quarter with a drive that got as close as the 29-yard line. An untimely penalty for a block in the back reversed a 14-yard run by Jeffries and gave the Tartans a 2nd<\/sup> and 22 at the 44-yard line. After a rare incompletion by Jeffries, Dupleasis finished off Glendora with a sack to secure the win.<\/p>\n
