(Baldwin Park)- The Baldwin Park Braves rushed for over 300 yards and six touchdowns, including three unanswered scores on route to defeating the Wilson Wildcats, 49-25, and improving to a 3-1 Valle Vista league record Friday night at Baldwin Park High School.<\/p>\n
Wilson only trailed by a field goal early in the third quarter after Josh Morales jumped up and over the goal line, converting a 1-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown and a 28-25 ball game with 8:08 remaining.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had some things go wrong early in the game that we could have quit on,\u201d BP coach Jim Heggins said \u201cBut we didn\u2019t. We got them fixed and made a couple of plays.\u201d<\/p>\n
Braves countered with an offensive scoring barrage and exploded for three unanswered touchdowns, sparked by a 99-yard kickoff return to the house by BP\u2019s Demetrius Jackson and the score expanded to 49-25 with 9 seconds remaining in the third.<\/p>\n
Jackson finished with over 175 total yards and two touchdowns, providing a dynamic weapon for the Braves on special teams with kickoff returns of 99 and 65 yards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad we brought him along today,\u201d said Heggins. \u201cHe\u2019s a special kid and you can see why he\u2019s a division one athlete.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wardell Crutchfield also added 119 yards on the ground, including one of the Braves six rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Wilson running back Moses Vega carried the offensive load for the Wildcats, accumulating 154 yards on 13 carries but didn\u2019t pierce the end zone.<\/p>\n
It was Morales who did all the scoring for Wilson, rushing for two 1-yard touchdowns and throwing for two more scores. Morales finished with the game with 142 total yards and all of the Wildcats four touchdowns.<\/p>\n
