PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP : Injury Stops Savanna’s 26-15 Victory With 2:16 Left

An injury to Anaheim High School linebacker Say Iemsisanith prompted officials to end Thursday night’s game with two minutes 16 seconds remaining and Savanna leading, 26-15.

Iemsisanith, a team captain, was injured while assisting on a tackle. He remained on the field at Western High School for 45 minutes before being taken by ambulance to Humana Hospital-West Anaheim for X-rays.

“The X-rays were negative,” said Dan Miller, boys’ athletic director at Anaheim. “There’s no spinal cord injury. He was given some pain pills and is being kept overnight. The doctors will check him in the morning and probably release him.”

Vince Flores caught two touchdown passes to lead Savanna to the Orange League victory.

Flores caught a nine-yard touchdown from Brad Belanger early in the first quarter. He added a 13-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter to make the score 14-7 at halftime.

Anaheim’s Brian Diaz, who scored twice, had an 86-yard fumble return that tied the score at 7-7 in the second quarter. Diaz’s other touchdown came on a two-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Savanna (4-2-2, 1-1-1 in league play) interceptedfour passes and forced two fumbles. Linebacker Paul Glomba intercepted two passes, returning one 53 yards for a touchdown to put Savanna ahead, 23-7. Leon Landry scored on a 30-yard run in the fourth quarter. Anaheim is 3-5, 1-2.
