(Bell Gardens) –\u00a0Alhambra jumped out to a 20-0\u00a0lead in the first quarter but then had to rally late to\u00a0beat Bell Gardens 26-21 Friday night on the Lancers home field.<\/p>\n
The Moors let the big lead get away as\u00a0BG bounced back to score 21 straight points and capture a 21-20 advantage.<\/p>\n
Lu-ring\u00a0Pailalii led the Moors with\u00a0214 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns. His 79-yard TD burst proved to be the game winner putting\u00a0Alhambra\u00a0up 26-21\u00a0with 7:57 left in the contest.<\/p>\n
Bell Gardens was then forced to punt and the Moors took over\u00a0with\u00a05:55 left and ran out the clock.<\/p>\n
Salman Gurung\u00a0added to the ground attack with 140 yards and a pair of scores\u00a0on 21 carries.\u00a0Both of his scoring runs came in the first quarter.\u00a0The Moors had 391 yards rushing overall but zero passing yards. BG\u00a0meanwhile had 140 yards on the ground and just 13 passing.<\/p>\n
Braham Rodriguez\u00a0gained the bulk of the yards with\u00a094 yards and a touchdown. He scored\u00a0Bell Gardens’\u00a0first touchdown on a 28-yard run late in the first quarter. That cut the Moors’ lead to 20-7. A 51-yard jaunt by Rodriguez on the first play of the second quarter set up the Lancers next score and Nico Beltran’s 21-yard return of a fumble by Alhambra’s punter Dominic Wilson\u00a0– which was caused by a bad snap- put BG ahead 21-20 with 8:42 left in the first half.<\/p>\n
That score stood until\u00a0Paialii’s go ahead run in the fourth.<\/p>\n
The Moors, now 4-4 and 2-1 in the Almont League will travel to Keppel next week. Bell Gardens (2-6, 2-1) will host Schurr.<\/p>\n
