Running back Jerry Stone just busted off a 44-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to give Lakewood a 7-0 lead. Stone found a whole right up the middle of the Mission Viejo defense and exploited it, out-sprinting two Diablo defensive backs to the end zone.

Mission Viejo has controlled the ball most of the game, but a fumble into the Lakewood end zone and a failed fourth-down conversion has kept it off the scoreboard.
