Shane Ahhing and Tien Tran Look On <\/p><\/div>\n

(Rosemead) \u2013 Matt Macias tossed a 35 yard touchdown pass to Greg Parham with 3:20 left in the game to give Rosemead a 23-20 win over Covina Friday night in the opener for both teams.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Panthers had just scored on the play before on a 23 yard run by Joey Diaz but it was called back due to a holding penalty. When Rosemead was also called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty the ball was placed back at the 35. But the Macias- Parham connection immediately followed and the Panther faithful left happy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Covina drove down to the Rosemead 18 on the ensuing drive but a 34 yard field goal attempt with four seconds left fell short and the Panthers held on.<\/p>\n

Two Happy Panthers <\/p><\/div>\n

The score was vastly different than last year\u2019s 50-12 drubbing that the Panthers laid on Covina.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u201cI think Covina is a real good team. I think Thomas does a great job over there,\u201d said Rosemead Coach Matt Koffler. \u201cFortunately we were able to come out on top.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 There were three lead changes in the contest. Rosemead fell behind 6-0 early but forged into a 16-12 lead at the half. The Panthers then trailed 20-16 before rallying.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The Covina offense revolved mostly around Sebastian Duran. The Colt quarterback ran for 63 yards and a touchdown and also threw for a score. He completed 13 of 22 for 156 yards. Matt Murray added 68 yards on the ground for Covina.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 In the first quarter Duran hit Peter De La Cruz over the middle on a 27 yard touchdown pass to put the Colts up 6-0. Rosemead came right back and pieced together a nine play, 60 yard drive that Diaz finished with a five yard run. The extra point was missed and the score was even at six.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Diaz was the bread and butter all night for Rosemead finishing with 233 yards on 29 carries. \u00a0\u00a0In the second quarter Oscar Salazar stepped in front of a Macias pass and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown. The extra point attempt again failed but Covina was up 12-6.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Diaz capped another drive with a six yard run with just over three minutes left in the half. This time Chris Cancino booted the kick through for a one point advantage.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Cancino also kicked a 23 yard field goal just before the half for a 16-12 lead. The score was set up when Tien Tran recovered an onside kick.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Duran scored on a ten yard run in the third quarter as the Colts regained the advantage. Meanwhile the Rosemead offense struggled and coughed up a fumble.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 A bad snap over the head of the Rosemead punter caused a safety and the Colts led 20-16 early in the fourth.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 It still looked dim later for Rosemead until Parham hauled in Macias\u2019 TD strike.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Rosemead will travel to Monrovia next week while Covina hits the road for El Monte.<\/p>\n
