Three plays later Northrup picked off a Huguez pass and took it 38-yards for the score pulling defenders with him on the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chiefs finally got on the board midway though the second quarter when Huguez hit a wide-open Sebastian Macias for a 69-yard scamper to paydirt putting the score at 41-7.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lancers answered right back when Long hit the endzone for the third time &#8211; this one on a 60-yard run.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Santa Fe turned the ball over on downs and new La Serna quarterback, Michael Lopez, hit sophomore Zeb Bontemps on a nice 32-yard pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Serna capped off its first half scoring when Bontemps picked up a Huguez fumble and sprinted 20-yards to the end zone making the halftime score 55-7.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a running clock the entire second half.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lancers punted on their first possession and Santa Fe drove down field pounding it with Tariq Bush hitting Huguez who took it in from four yards out and the game was now 55-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next drive La Serna kept the ball on the ground with Drew Cobos, who was the workhorse on the drive, with Greg Silva finishing it with a dive to make it 62-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Santa Fe punted the last possession and La Serna lined up in victory formation. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lancers will now go back out of league and face Newbury Park next week while the Chiefs stay in Del Rio league play and face Cal.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By George Hernandez Whittier] &#8211; Owen Long and Jayden Northrop combined for six touchdowns and that was more than enough for La Serna to rout Santa Fe 62-14 Thursday night at Sandy T Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12816,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hsfootball","category-high-school-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=81322"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81326,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81322\/revisions\/81326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=81322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=81322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=81322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
