Eagles came out strong on their first possession driving the ball down field and scoring on a Billy Valencia 4-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0 after the extra point.<\/p>\n
Lancers took control from there, midway through the first quarter Adame found a open Chris Gutierrez to tie the game up at 7-7 after a Richardo Pena extra point.

Early in the second quarter after a long drive Adame used his legs and took it in from 1-yard out to make it 21-7, 11:26 into the second. Lancers stopped the Eagles again and drove the ball down field and Ibarra found a hole took it 25-yards for the score to extend their lead to 28-7.<\/p>\n
In the second half Bell Gardens wasn\u2019t ready to slow down after a South El Monte three and out, Adame took the Lancers down field and capped it off with a 21-yard touchdown pass to tight end Scott Williams. Bell Gardens tacked on another score when Ibarra found the end zone for the second time to make it 42-7, after Pena\u2019s sixth extra point.<\/p>\n
Ramirez led the Lancers defense with an interception and a fumble recovery along with playing a shutting down any South receiver that stood in front of him. Chris Rincon, Rene Munoz, Nicholas Solorzano, and Jose Morales all had sacks.<\/p>\n
Adame went 14 of 20 for 187 yards with three touchdown passes and his score on the ground. Ibarra had nine rushes for 70-yards and two touchdowns. Gutierrez had eight catches for 155 yards and two catches for scores.<\/p>\n
