In a game that has featured four three-and-outs and a Long Beach Poly fumble, there’s no question that the interception from Los Alamitos defensive back Haven Fielding was game-changing.

With the Jackrabbits facing third-and-six on their own 49-yard line, Fielding intercepted Chris Leachman’s pass at the Griffins’ 42-yard line and marched down the field before being tackled at the one-yard line.

Three plays later, Los Alamitos quarterback Dylan Lagarde connected with Mike Collins, who made a one-handed touchdown catch. Dan Boyer’s extra point gave the Griffins a 7-0 lead with 4:09 remaining in the first quarter.
