A tight battle was settled when Golden Eagles\u2019 quarterback, Justin Posthuma, called his number and ran to the end zone for the 18-yard score.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Posthuma led the offense throwing 6 for 17, 111 passing yards and one touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>St. Francis got on the board in the first quarter, capitalizing on Crescenta\u2019s second turnover inside its own 24-yard line. St. Francis\u2019 running back, Christopher Cabrera, finished the drive with a 3-yard rushing touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Late in the second quarter CV drove from its 20 to the St. Francis 13-yard line, where Falcon quarterback Kyle Cota found an open receiver in the back of the end zone for the 7-7 tie.<\/p>\n<p>With the momentum, Crescenta went ahead in their first drive of the third quarter as Harry Pessy got free for a 53-yard touchdown to put the Falcons ahead, 14-7.<\/p>\n<p>St. Francis responded on its ensuing possession starting with Ryan Jenkins\u2019 kick-off return to the Falcon 47-yard line. From there, running back Dietrich Riley finished the drive with a 14-yard touchdown run after switching the point of attack and finding open space. However, Crescenta retained the lead after St. Francis missed their extra point attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Riley again took control with a 27-yard punt return a 12-yard rushing touchdown, giving the Golden Eagles the lead 21-14 after a successful 2-point conversion. The Falcons received a golden opportunity as Riley was stripped of the ball at their 36-yard line and moments later Pessy found the end zone with an 8-yard touchdown through the middle and tying the game 21-21.<\/p>\n<p>The Falcons hurt themselves with a questionable onside kick which St. Francis recovered at its own 48-yard line, giving them great field position. Thereafter, Posthuma showed why he\u2019s the leader, rushing three times including the 17-yard go ahead touchdown, giving the Golden Eagles the final 28-21 lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Juan Carlos Salas (La Ca\u00f1ada) \u2013 A quarterback-keeper touchdown is what St. Francis needed to put away Crescenta Valley, 28-21, Friday night.
