(Whittier, CA) The La Serna Lancers played host Friday night to the Warren Bears and like most Bears would be, they were not a nice house guest beating the Lancers 39-21 at Thorstenson Stadium on the campus of California High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Both teams started out a little slow on offense but the Bears got it together with 4:20 left to play in the first. Madden Iamaleava found Jordan Ross deep down the near sideline for 65-yards and a score.Judith Luna came on to boot through the extra point for the 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The score remained 7-0 until late in the opening frame. Iamaleava found Jace Brown from 11-yards away. With :40 left the two point conversion failed and Warren led 13-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in the second quarter the Lancers gave their faithful something to cheer about. Jayden Northrup got behind the Bear secondary and Aiden Leonardo found him for a 40-yard touchdown strike. Christian Miranda added the point after to cut Warren\u2019s lead to six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Serna got their first and last lead of the night when Leonardo and Northrup made the connection again, this time from 29-yards out. The pitch and catch capped a 6-play 44-yard drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With time running out in the first half, the Bears wasted no time regaining the lead. On the ensuing drive Warren needed only four plays to cover 44-yards and get the score. Brown and Iamaleava connected on a 29-yard score of their own with less than a minute left to play in the second. Again the two point conversion failed but the Bears had a 19-14 lead going into the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming out of the locker room the Bears wasted no time to get on the board again. Iamaleava found his favorite target on the night, Ross on a 60-yard bomb to paydirt. Warren went for two again and were unsuccessful but increased their lead to eleven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Croffie set Warren up with great field position when he picked off a Leonardo pass at his own 20 and returned it down to the La Serna 35. Four plays later Kelton Strickland scored on an eight yard run. This time the Bears called on Luna who converted the extra point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 2:34 remaining in the third, the Lancers went on a 10-play 65-yard drive lead by Jordan Bonilla who came on in relief of Leonardo. The drive was finished off by Owen Long who powered his way across the goal line from seven yards out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warren ate up yardage and the clock on their next drive that covered 65-yards on 14 plays with Strickland getting his second score of the evening. Luna again converted on the extra point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leonardo made his return to the lineup on the next series and led his team down the field in to Bear country. The drive however ended abruptly with Leonardo was picked off for the third time in the game at the Warren 15 by Maurice Stepter. From there the Bears killed the rest of the clock on the ensuing drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a big night for Iamaleava who completed 21 of 34 passes for 410 yards and four scores. Ross caught the most from Iamaleava with nine for 262-yards and two touchdowns\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northrup led the Lancer receiving corp with six for 97 and the two touchdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The schedule doesn\u2019t get any easier for La Serna as they travel south to Rancho Santa Margarita to take on Tesoro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Bears it\u2019s a long road trip to Versailles, KY to take on the Woodford County Yellowjackets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
