Villa Park Rolls Right Past Santa Ana Valley

Villa Park’s Ryan Wann and Dache Dameron combined for 232 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the Spartans’ 36-18 victory over Santa Ana Valley in a Century League game Saturday night at El Modena High.

The Spartans (4-2-1, 2-0) scored on five of their six possessions in the first half.

Villa Park’s first drive started at the Falcon 40.

It took less than a minute for the Spartans to score. Wann had a 33-yard run up the middle.

And after a Falcon penalty, fullback Josh Harnett’s three-yard run gave the Spartans a 7-0 lead.

After a Falcon fumble put the ball at the Valley 28, the Spartans made it 14-0 on receiver Dallas Dapper’s seven-yard run, the fourth play of the drive.

It wasn’t all bad for Santa Ana Valley (1-6,0-2). The Falcons, down, 17-0, put together a 10-play, 78-yard drive before Spartan strong safety Wann intercepted Falcon quarterback Rolando Ramirez’s pass in the end zone.

In the second half, Santa Ana Valley scored on drives of 73, 38 and 84 yards and held the Spartans in check.

Ramirez threw for 177 yards and receiver Koa Bartlett caught four passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns.
