Fountain Valley had very minimal success on its first possession.

Fountain Valley QB Dominic Ragland got out of the grasp of OLu DL Kapono Asuega and made a 12-yard pass to Artie O'Keefe to pick up a first down. The Barons will need more plays like that from Ragland to have a shot tonight.

The Barons got caught in a third-and-long situation and Ragland got stopped short of the first down by OLu's Gabe Lemon, forcing the Barons to punt.

OLu moved into Barons territory quickly. The Lancers were facing a third-and-6 and Exavier Edwards came through with a 9-yard gain to the Barons 21.

After an offsides penalty, Casey Smith and Matt McWilliams sacked Bobby Wheatley for a 16 yard loss. OLu's Damani Wilson got most of that back with a run to the 15-yard line. OLu went for it on fourth-and-1 and Garrett Gilliliand hurdled the pile to pick up the first down at the 10-yard line.

The Lancers got whistled for illegal procedure on second down and got knocked back to the 13-yard line.

On third-and-13, Bobby Wheatley found Exavier Edwards in the flat. Edwards stiff armed one defender, stiffed armed another and got into the end zone.

That capped a 12-play, 61-yard scoring drive that took nearly 7 minutes off the clock.

OLu, 7, Fountain Valley 0 with 48 seconds left in the opening quarter.
