Crescenta Valley 25, Marina 9--Running back Erik LaCom rushed 19 times for 104 yards and two touchdowns to lead Crescenta Valley at Glendale High.

LaCom ran 14 yards for a first-quarter score after a 13-yard Marina punt. He scored again on a one-yard run with 1:45 left in the fourth quarter after Paul Lopez intercepted a Travis Davis pass. The Falcons (10-1) then took a 15-3 lead in the second quarter when Jon Berg returned a fumble eight yards.
Marina quarterback Davis, who threw only one interception all season, threw three.
Marina (6-4-1) and running back John Marvos started quickly. Marvos (17 carries for 175 yards) ran for 87 yards in the opening drive but Marina had to settle for a 27-yard field goal.
Marvos later scored on a nine-yard run as time expired in the fourth quarter.
