HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ROUNDUP : Dominguez Hurries to Beat Paramount

After being dominated on the line of scrimmage for nearly a half, Compton Dominguez went to a no-huddle offense and rallied to a dramatic 28-26 victory at Paramount Friday night.

Keyed by Robert Jenkins’ two second-half touchdowns, Dominguez came back from 13-0 and 26-14 deficits to defeat its San Gabriel Valley League rival and run its record to 5-0.

Paramount (1-4), gained 206 rushing yards in the first half. Dominguez shut down the Pirates in the second half in taking command of the game.

“We had to go to our hurry-up offense to throw their defense off because they controlled the line,” said Jenkins, who scored on a 65-yard swing pass play and a 54-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Paramount opened the game with a 73-yard, nine rushing-play drive to take a 7-0 lead on a seven-yard run by Edwin Keiner.

Another all-rushing drive ended in Keiner’s two-yard run to give Paramount a 13-0 lead with 8:48 remaining in the second quarter.

Dominguez, No. 10 in The Times’ Southern Section poll, went to a no-huddle offense on its next drive, and Andrea Mason answered with a 47-yard scoring run to cut Paramount’s lead to 13-7.

Paramount then scored with 35 seconds before halftime on a three-yard run by Thyya Ung. But Dominguez quickly responded with a three-play drive that was capped by a four-yard run by Tyrone Miles to cut Paramount’s lead to 19-14 at halftime.

“Their no-huddle offense did not really matter because we knew they ran it,” Paramount Coach Ken Sutch said. “We just were not able to make them spend more time in scoring their touchdowns.”
