The score remained that way until 5:21 left in the fourth when La Serna\u2019s Andrew Buenrostro found Donovan Gumbs of Norwalk for a 25 yard touchdown. The point after failed however and the West still led 16-9.<\/p>\n<p>On the ensuing series, Cantu was intercepted by Casey Eyman of Cypress and retuned it to the West 21. The East took full advantage of the West turnover when Buenrostro struck again. This time he rifled a bullet to his favorite target \u2013La Serna running mate Andrew Rosales for a six yard score. Rosales just did manage to hit the pylon at the goal line in the right corner. This time Santa Fe\u2019s Manuel Meza drilled the extra point with 1:19 left to knot it at 16.<\/p>\n<p>The West had one last shot in regulation but Paramount\u2019s Richard Valencia had his 38 yard field goal attempt blocked as time ran out.<\/p>\n<p>The West got the ball first in the California overtime and immediately took advantage marching 25 yards capped by Cantu\u2019s toss to Gomez.<\/p>\n<p>On the East possession Aaron Williams of Dominguez picked off Buenrostro in the endzone on fourth down to send everybody home. Williams actually returned it 100 yards to the other endzone but once he made the interception the game was officially over.<\/p>\n<p>After a scoreless first quarter Valencia booted a 24 yard field goal in the second quarter to put the West up 3-0. The lead increased to 9-0 on a 14 yard touchdown pass from Andrew Perez (Long Beach Wilson) to Louis Tornero of Compton.<\/p>\n<p>Meza kicked a 31 yard field goal for the East to close out the first half.<\/p>\n<p>The game took nearly three hours to complete. It was delayed almost 30 minutes with 15 seconds left in the first half when Dominguez\u2019 Devonte Carter was taken off the field on a stretcher.<\/p>\n<p>The officials didn\u2019t help speed things along either tossing more laundry than a washing machine in the spin cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Mayfair\u2019s Evan Hunko also saw time at quarterback for the East and Eliijhaa Penny was the workhorse in the backfield.<\/p>\n<p>While Cantu and Perez took care of the quarterback duties, Jerramine Jackson (Paramount), Abraham Gonzalez (Schurr) and Jamil Magee of Warren took turns carrying the rock for the West. Julius Childs of Lynwood had several big punt returns to spark the West. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the victory the West leads the overall 605 series 16-7-1 since 1986.
