OLu beats Mater Dei, 24-21

CARLOS ARIAS — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 06:26:28 +0000

The Lancers had to survive one final kick return.

MD's Dylan Price fielded the kick at MD's 47 and pitched it back to Victor Blackwell. Blackwell almost got tackled on the far sideline, but was able to pitch it back to Jordan Allen.

Allen came all the way back across the field and had some running room. He got to OLu's 40, before OLu's Shawn Rohr made the game-ending tackle.

The Trinity League could end in a three-way tie between OLu, Mater Dei and Servite if Servite is able to knock off St. John Bosco on Friday night. If Servite loses to St. John Bosco, OLu will enter the playoffs as the No. 1 team from the Trinity League.

Orange Lutheran to attempt winning FG ...

CARLOS ARIAS — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 06:21:07 +0000

it's a 43-yarder with 6 seconds left and it's ... GOOD!!!

There are 2 seconds left and OLu has a 24-21 lead over Mater Dei.

OLu gets flagged for personal foul for over-celebration. That will be tacked on to the kick. OLu will kick off from the 25-yard line.

One play left.

OLu gets huge turnover

CARLOS ARIAS — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 06:12:35 +0000

Mater Dei had all the momentum and was driving in OLu territory until Kyle Dravis stepped in front of a Matt Barkley pass intended for Ario Winston to get the interception.

OLu takes over at its own 29 with 3:30 left and the game tied, 21-21.

This one feels like OT.

MD ties it, then gets big defensive stop

CARLOS ARIAS — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 06:09:49 +0000

Mater Dei's stud QB Matt Barkley isn't going to come close to breaking the county's career passing record tonight, which is held by Todd Marinovich, who is on the sidelines tonight.

But Barkley knows how to deliver the big play as he completed a 69-yarder to Victor Blackwell. It looked like Blackwell might go all the way, but Gabe Lemon made a TD-saving tackle.

That just delayed the inevitable. Jaron Hytche scored on a 4-yard TD run to tie it, 21-21, with 6:34 left.

Mater Dei's defense came up with a big three-and-out to get the ball right back to the offense. Conrad Tavarez came up with a big sack to make it third-and-16.

Who won the coin flips at In 'n Out?

CARLOS ARIAS — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 06:01:34 +0000

El Dorado beat Tustin and Canyon beat Villa Park tonight to create a three-way tie for first place in the Century League.

The coaches met at the In n' Out neat Canyon High for coin flips to determine playoff position and here's how it went down:

1. El Dorado
2. Tustin
3. Canyon

Call OLu's Jim Kunau the 'Gambler'

CARLOS ARIAS — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 05:56:55 +0000

The Lancers just put together an 11-play, 54-yard scoring drive to take a 21-14 lead with 7:33 left.

OLu went for it on fourth down for the fifth time this game and Kyle Dravis got a 4-yard gain to pick up a first down at MD's 21.

Garrett Gilliland eventually scored on a 5-yard run to cap the drive.

Calvary beats Estancia, gets in playoffs

CARLOS ARIAS — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 05:50:53 +0000

In the Orange Coast League, the Calvary Chapel Eagles hang on to beat the Estancia Eagles, 12-10, to earn their first trip to the playoffs since 2001.

MD and OLu knotted, 14-14, after three quarters

CARLOS ARIAS — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 05:43:20 +0000

We're deadlocked at 7 over here at Santa Ana Stadium, but OLu is driving once again.

The Lancers have a first down at Mater Dei's 35.

OLu coach Jim Kunau is showing a lot of gamble, going for it on fourth down at will and pulling out the trick plays and fake punts. It's on.
