(Whittier)- La Serna went on a 27-0 fourth quarter run to beat Orange Vista 49-32 Friday night in the Division 2-AA State Regional Bowl at California High School. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

The Lancers trailed 32-22 early in the fourth quarter when Dionte West caught a pass from Khalil Abdul-Aziz and raced 43 yards for a touchdown for Orange Vista. There was still 11:18 left on the clock and La Serna used less than half that time to take the lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They went on a blitz that knocked the Coyotes out. La Serna used just four plays to go 58 yards with CJ Ceron hitting Jayden Northrup on a 13-yard touchdown pass to make it 32-29. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers then recovered an onside kick and were in business again at the Orange Vista 22. Four plays later Adrian Castro scored on a three-yard run and La Serna was up 36-32 with 6:59 left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange Vista was then stopped on fourth down and after Ceron busted off an 82-yard sprint Owen Long found paydirt on a seven-yard jaunt and just like that it was 43-32 with 3:09 left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long then picked off Orange Vista quarterback Aziz with 1:45 left. While the Lancers were trying to run out the clock Ceron instead got loose for a 69-yard touchdown run as he weaved his way through the Orange Vista defense. A 10-point deficit was suddenly a 17-point La Serna rout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange Vista and La Serna traded scores in the first quarter as Sire Gaines scored for the Coyotes on a six-yard run and and Zeb Bontemps (cool name) caught a 23-yard TD pass from Ceron. A missed extra point left the Lancers up 7-6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange Vista scored twice in the second on an eight-yard pass from Aziz to Lese Magalei and an 11-yard run by Gaines. The Coyotes were up 19-7 at the half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the third quarter Eli Perez scooped up a fumble and went five yards for a score and Long scored on a 10-yard scamper to put the Lancers back up 22-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

West hauled in a 42-yard pass from Aziz with 1:22 left in the third as the Coyotes regained the lead at 26-22. West then had the 43-yard catch and run early in the fourth for a 32-22 lead. But it was all La Serna from there. 27 points later it was over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceron had a big night to lead the charge. He ran for 192 yards and a touchdown on eight carries and threw for 161 and a pair of touchdowns. Long, after a slow start, ran for 58 yards and two touchdowns and had three receptions for 28 yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

West had six catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns for Orange Vista. The Coyotes finished the season at 11-4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Serna, now 12-3, moves on the State Finals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
