(San Dimas) – San Dimas running back Dylan Ware was stopped at the goal line on a two point conversion attempt in overtime to lift Kaiser to a 35-34 win over the Saints Friday night in the first round of the CIF Division 8 Playoffs.<\/p>\n

With the score tied at 28 after regulation, Kaiser got the ball first in OT and cashed in on a 16-yard touchdown run by Tyler Allgeier. San Dimas then countered, on a fourth and three, when Dylan Ware scored on an 18-yard run to cut the lead to 35-34. San Dimas head coach Mark Holman decided to roll the dice and go for two.<\/p>\n

“We had to, we were outmanned,” Holman said. “We had some injuries. It was the right call.”<\/p>\n

And it appeared that it indeed was the correct call as Ware took the handoff and plowed forward. He was met at the goal line by a host of Kaiser defenders and a scrum ensued. Although it looked like his forward progress carried him in, the officials emerged from a huddle and ruled Ware was halted at the one-inch line and the Kaiser sideline erupted in celebration. The San Dimas sideline exploded as well but it wasn’t what one would call celebration.<\/p>\n

The Saints faithful had a few encouraging words for the officials as they departed the field as the players trudged dejectedly off in a heartbreaking defeat.<\/p>\n

The two teams traded punches throughout the contest so it was only fitting that one team would finally be felled by a devastating knock out blow.<\/p>\n

Ware gave the Saints a 7-0 lead on a 10-yard touchdown run on their opening drive but the Cats answered with a 36-yard run by Allgeier. Noah Maldonado put the Saints up seven with a seven-yard TD run later in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

Kaiser’s Tyler Allgeier ran for 349 yards and three TDs in the victory<\/p><\/div>\n

Allgeier scored again on a 53-yard jaunt early in the second to tie it. After stopping San Dimas on a fourth down, Kaiser took a 21-14 advantage when Lucas Mandujano hauled in a 39-yard touchdown pass from Manuel Ferrell with just 36 seconds left in the first half.<\/p>\n

The lead exchanged hands again as the Saints outscored the Cats 14-0 in the third. Ware capped a 68-yard drive with a one-yard run and Maldonado took an eight-yard pass from Dylan O’Leary and scooted into the end zone for the 28-21 lead.<\/p>\n

Kaiser tied it on a four-yard run by Christian Hunter with 7:12 left. San Dimas missed a 31-yard field goal that would have given the Saints the lead. The Cats also missed a field goal from 41 yards out as time ran out on regulation to force the overtime.<\/p>\n

Allgeier was the bulk of the offense for Kaiser carrying the ball 40 times for 349 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

San Dimas totaled 383 yards on the ground with Ware going for 166 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries. Maldonado also had 166 and a touchdown on 19 carries. He also had a touchdown reception.<\/p>\n

Although San Dimas didn’t feel that its season should come to an end, and video may support that opinion, the Saints finished the year 7-4 overall. For Kaiser it was a huge win on the road as the Cats improved to 8-3 and advanced to the second round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
