Meet Devante Jenkins (#8) and Mikey Jurado (#9) of North Torrance, circa Northwest Division…Good luck…<\/p><\/div>\n

(Torrance)- It felt like a marathon, with passes, pass incompletions, injuries, and a double-digit number of flags all taking center stage in West Torrance’s 30-27 win over North Torrance on Friday night.<\/p>\n

“That was a football game you guys were in tonight,” North HC Todd Croce told his team. “That’s what a football game is like, none of this 56-0 stuff we’ve been having.”<\/p>\n

The Warriors were the bigger, stronger, team and it showed when they lined up. Running back Barry Thomas would plow his way to a 186 yards and three touchdowns, but it was the Saxons who couldn’t be put away until the very end.<\/p>\n

Up 20-14 at the half, they held their lead until the 9:14 mark of the fourth quarter when West kicker Dane Silverlake drilled a 48-yard field goal. Thomas would later add another touchdown to make it 30-20 in favor of the visitors.<\/p>\n

A late drive yielded another touchdown, Saxon quarterback Jorge Hernandez when 14-yards to Devante Jenkins to close the gap to three before a final onside kick failed.<\/p>\n

After the Warriors jumped to a 7-0 lead early, North answered with two scores of its own. First Hernandez went 80-yards to Mikey Jurado to tie it. The duo hooked up a second time from 24-yards to make it 14-7.<\/p>\n

West answered with Thomas scoring his first touchdown on a 4-yard run, but Hernandez and Jurado turned the hat trick with a third touchdown connection in the first half. This one went for 14-yards and it was 20-14 North at the break.<\/p>\n

Hernandez finished the night 25 of 46 with 351 yards and four scores.<\/p>\n

Note: The Saxons Chris Kuaea left the game on a stretcher in the fourth quarter. The nearly after half hour delay went from somber to relief when he gave a thumbs up to the crowd before being taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n
