(Whittier, CA) The La Serna Lancers and the El Rancho Dons opened up Del Rio League action Friday night at Cal High School and the Lancers continued their league dominance with a 42-18 win over the Dons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They say the stars come out at night and this was the case for the La Serna stars with the names of Kaimana Tufaga, Grady Long, Daniel Moreno, Miguel Tellez and Emre Law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tufaga and Moreno each found the endzone twice while Tellez and Law each added a score of their own. Long was the facilitator firing four touchdown passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Rancho however would get the scoring started on the evening taking their opening drive 65-yards on six plays with Andrew Guerrero knifing his way through the Lancer defense en route to a 49-yard touchdown run. The snap on the point after was mishandled but the Dons led 6-0 with just over 10 minutes left to play in the opening quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Serna came back with a score of their own on the ensuing drive. Long found Tufaga on a leaping grab which Tufaga turned into a 59-yard score. Landon Armenta added the extra point, and the Lancers grabbed a 7-6 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers recovered an El Rancho fumble at the Don 47 and immediately turned it into points when Moreno got his first score on a 1-yard plunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dons cut the lead to two points early in the second period, grinding out a 17-play 65 yard drive capped by a Diego Diaz two yard run. The Dons went for two after the score but Ryan Dominguez ‘pass sailed high and incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Serna pushed their advantage to 21-12 with 9:08 left in the 2nd on a 40-yard pass from Long to Emre Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers scored two more times to close out the first half barrage on points on another 59-yard pass from Long to Tufaga and Moreno\u2019s second 1-yard touchdown plunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Rancho did get on the board again late in the first half when Dominguez worked his way to paydirt from seven yards out to cap a 4-play, 57-yard drive. Once again the snap was muffed and the extra point try was no good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in the third quarter La Serna got their final score on the night on a 20-yard catch and run from Long to Miguel Tellez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers did have one final attempt to put up more points when a 10-play drive stalled at the Don 18. Armenta trotted on to attempt a 35-yard field goal but his attempt fell short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Serna\u2019s defense held the rest of the way and head coach Andy George had the opportunity to rest his stars the rest of the evening and get the backups some needed playing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers will have three games remaining to get tuned up for the post-season while El Rancho will look to win out and secure a spot in the playoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
