(Rowland Heights)- \u201cIts kind of hard not to like it,\u201d coach Snyder spoke of his quarterbacks performance, \u201che didn\u2019t throw an incomplete pass tonight, I think he was six for six, had three touchdown passes and ran for one.\u201d<\/p>\n

A blocked punt by Luciano put the Rowland offense back in scoring position. Ball found Freeman once again on a 13-yard slant for a touchdown with to end the half leading 27-7.<\/p>\n
The Vikings started the third as bad as they ended the second with another Arredondo turnover, this time coming in the form of a pick six by Freeman. Another thrown interception, late in the third by Arredondo, made way for a 25-yard touchdown run by Ball.<\/p>\n
