The West scored first on its opening drive marching 57 yards on nine plays with Monrovia’s Marcel Jones scoring from six yards out for a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second quarter the West scored again courtesy of a big play. South Pasadena’s Jackson Freking found San Gabriel’s TJ Daley who hauled it in and broke free for a 78-yard touchdown for a 14-0 advantage with 4:32 left in the first half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appeared the West may even extend the advantage before halftime but the East defense rose up to turn the tide. La Serna’s Chase Bernal scooped up a fumble and raced 18 yards for a score to cut the lead to seven with 2:22 remaining. The teams went into the break with the West up 14-7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The East had a big chance in the third quarter but the West defense made a stop at its own four-yard line. But on its next possession the East did cash in. Bishop Amat’s Aiden Ramos busted through the line of scrimmage and scored on a 16-yard run with 8:59 left to make it 14-13. With a no-overtime rule in place the East opted to go for two but were stonewalled by the West defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The East had one last chance but the kick sailed just wide right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three awards were handed out in the game which were named after three late legendary coaches in the San Gabriel Valley – Lou Farrar, Greg Gano and Jim Bonds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
