Andrew Perea threw for\u00a0418 yards and four touchdowns to lead El Rancho to a 42-35 win over La Serna Friday night at Don Memorial Stadium. \u00a0The Dons survived \u00a0a 100-yard interception return by La Serna’s Anthony Garcia on the last play of the first half that put La Serna up 28-21.<\/p>\n

The Dons responded by scoring three straight touchdowns in the\u00a0second half to\u00a0open up\u00a0a 14 point lead. La Serna cut it to 42-35 and then recovered an onside kick\u00a0with 4:12 left, but\u00a0the Dons shut the Lancers down and forced them to punt.\u00a0The Dons then ran out the clock. Perea had a fourth down run\u00a0with just over a minute left that\u00a0iced it.<\/p>\n

“Taking nothing away from La Serna but I think people have been overlooking us a little bit,” said El Rancho HC Vinnie Lopez. “We’re actually just two plays away from being undefeated. We could have beaten Diamond Ranch and Troy also.<\/p>\n

The teams traded scores in the first quarter\u00a0and early in the second. After Adrian Pop caught a\u00a026-yard touchdown pass from Perea, La Serna came right back and got even on a 31 yard scramble by Enrique Pacheco for a score.\u00a0Perea then coughed it up\u00a0and\u00a0La Serna recovered it at the Don 28. On the first play of the series Pacheco hit\u00a0Garcia on a\u00a028 yard touchdown pass to give the Lancers a 21-14 advantage. All seemed right with the world at that point for the La Serna faithful but they had no idea what was coming.<\/p>\n

***Perea completed 27 of 47 to accumulate the 418 yards. His touchdown passes came from 19, 26, 47 and 8 yards.<\/p>\n

***Isaiah Araujo caught a 47 yard strike from Perea\u00a0to tie it at 21 before Garcia caught a Perea hail mary just before the end of the first half and brought it all the way back to put the Lancers up 28-21 at the half.<\/p>\n

***Arajuo caught seven passes for 125 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

***Richard Cuellar also had a big game for the Dons catching Perea’s first TD pass and finishing with\u00a0nine catches for 78 yards.<\/p>\n

***After tying it early in the third, ER went up 35-28 on a\u00a0eight-yard pass from Perea to\u00a0Pop. Pop had two touchdown receptions on the night and over 100 yards receiving.<\/p>\n

***The Dons put together an 11-play, 79 yard drive in the fourth to go up 42-28 with just over five minutes left.<\/p>\n

***Pacheco scored again on La Serna’s next series\u00a0on a 17 yard run to get the Lancers close but they couldn’t get over the hump.<\/p>\n

***La Serna usually has a devastating ground game but was held to just 116 yards rushing overall.<\/p>\n

***Pacheco\u00a0had over 200 yards passing and two touchdowns\u00a0and rushed for 55 and a pair of scores for the Lancers.<\/p>\n

***El Rancho had over 552 yards total.<\/p>\n

***El Rancho improves to\u00a0 4-2 overall (1-0 in the Del Rio) while La Serna falls to 4-2 and 0-1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
