[Covina] – San Dimas’ three headed backfield rallied the Saints from a 10-point halftime deficit to lead them to a 58-55 victory over Covina at Covina District Field Thursday night in Valle Vista League action. <\/p>\n
The Colts struck on their first possession as quarterback Daniel Arochi threw a perfect pass to an open Matt Mannino for a 60-yard score.<\/p>\n
San Dimas got to work with their ground and pound offense and Bleau Wallace capped it off with a 10-yard scoring run making it 7-6 after the Saints missed a two point conversion. <\/p>\n
Covina put Mannino to work again this time as running back Eric Cuellar hit Mannino with a tight pass and after a few broken tackles and 55-yards later Colts had the lead at 14-6. <\/p>\n
The Saints matched it, this time with Jacob Buccola who broke through the Colts defense for a 65-yard scamper to paydirt putting the score at 14-12 after another missed two point conversion. <\/p>\n
San Dimas finally got a stop and took the lead when Nicholas Cuda busted off a 34-yard touchdown run giving the Saints their first advantage at 18-14. <\/p>\n
Cuellar started working his magic on the ground and broke through the defense for a six yard score and a 21-18 Colts lead. <\/p>\n
Neither team made a stop in the second quarter. Cuda got in the end zone for a second time for the Saints on a seven yard blast, Cuellar got his second touchdown pass of the game when he hit Mannino again and Cuellar would break the plane this time on a 21-yard run. That put the score at 35-25 Colts at halftime. <\/p>\n
San Dimas got the ball first in the second half and capitalized. Wallace got his second score of the game from six yards out and after a Saints stop Wallace visited the end zone again this time from two yards making it 38-35, Saints with their first lead. <\/p>\n
That didn\u2019t last long however as Cuellar stumbled but stood on his feet and went all the way to the house on a 64-yard score, making it 42-38 Colts. <\/p>\n
Wallace and Cuda answered back for the Saints on scoring runs of 22 and 13-yards. <\/p>\n
