But on fourth and goal, Schurr\u2019s David Aguilar stopped Ronnel Lone in the backfield.<\/p>\n<p>After a Schurr punt, El Rancho again needed to convert on fourth down to keep its season alive. However, the Spartan defense held firm and stopped them one yard short of the first down marker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defense saved us. The whole second half we shut [El Rancho] out,\u201d said Schurr Head Coach Ben Negrete. \u201cThat was our goal and the guys did a tremendous job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The game started deadlocked until late in the second quarter. With eight seconds left in the half, Dons quarterback Josh Perea found Anthony Ayala in the back of the end zone, giving El Rancho the 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>The question on how the Spartans would respond in the second half was quickly answered when Nathan Ayon had a great punt return to place his team at the Dons 40.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe told the guys that if we expected to be playing next week, that we better start coming out and playing our kind of football in the second half,\u201d said Negrete. \u201cThey kind of took it to heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Spartans first series was capped by an 18-yard Aaron Cantu pass to Carlos Arredondo to tie the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey took away the run and we had to resort to our passing game,\u201d said Negrete. \u201cOur passing game is pretty powerful so we were able to take advantage of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schurr\u2019s next possession Cantu again showed his arm finding Angel Sanchez for a 34-yard touchdown pass. Cantu\u2019s pinpoint loft was enough to finish the Spartan comeback.<\/p>\n<p>Cantu would finish with 208 passing yards, going 15 for 19 in the night.<\/p>\n<p>With the comeback victory, Schurr will travel Diamond Ranch next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the first round game we had some young starters. We might have been too emotional,\u201d said Negrete. \u201cGetting one under our belt will help us and be able to come out and play solid ball game next week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Juan Carlos Salas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-high-school-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4319"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4322,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4319\/revisions\/4322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
