First year LC HC Dan Yoder, following a post-game shower, celebrates the Spartans playoff birth.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(South Pasadena)- \u201cI said; \u2018Guys we can kick the point after and keep playing or we can go for two, win the game, and go to the playoffs\u2019,\u201d said La Canada head coach Dan Yoder about his choice to go for the game winning two-point conversion. \u201cI looked into their eyes and there was no doubt. They wanted to win it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Trailing 14-13, and the season on the line for both teams, Rocky Moore brought the Spartans to the line of scrimmage. Before getting set the La Canada and Temple City players showed respect for one another and shook hands. Then they lined up.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the last play of the third overtime, Moore took the snap, stayed in the pocket then rolled to his right before finding Michael Arkfeld in the corner of the end zone for the tie-breaker ending, CIF advancing, deuce.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy advisors (staff) wanted to run this play,\u201d Yoder said. \u201cIt hasn\u2019t failed all year. We don\u2019t know who the primary receiver is on the play, it just works.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Spartans earlier knocked off South Pasadena 39-20 then waited for Temple City to arrive from San Marino where the Rams had lost earlier to the Titans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard,\u201d one TC assistant said after the game. \u201cA little over an hour ago we were the second place team in the Rio Hondo, now we\u2019re done.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Its the first time Temple City has missed the playoffs since 1997.<\/span><\/p>\n

One athletic director explained the reason for the Friday night tie breaker was the result of the wording the Rio Hondo League constitution. All the AD\u2019s at the reading believed the tie-breakers needed to be settled by the last day of play. Which was Friday. After clarification came that Saturday was an option the decision had already been made and sent down the line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many high school fields were already scheduled out, so the Friday night plan remained in effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

For La Canada the playoff seedings await on Sunday, the Rams its back to the weights in December.<\/span><\/p>\n
