Canyon wins in last-minute comeback

Christopher Chapman’s 18-yard field goal with 7.6 seconds left capped a wild final 90 seconds that gave Canyon Country Canyon a 24-22 victory over Moorpark in the Northern Division championship game Saturday at the Home Depot Center in Carson.

Moorpark’s Nick Karam caught a 13-yard pass from Adam Barry with 1:15 left, and Arturo Tamayo’s conversion kick gave Moorpark a 22-21 lead.

Starting on his 20, Canyon quarterback Ben Longshore completed a 36-yard pass to J.J. DiLuigi and a 37-yard pass to Anthony Arriaga, giving the Cowboys first and goal at the Musketeers’ seven. Canyon (11-2) faced fourth and goal from the one with 9.8 seconds left when Chapman came in to deliver the winning kick.

Longshore passed for 302 yards and three touchdowns. Darrell Scott of Moorpark (11-3) was held to a season-low 118 yards rushing.

Los Angeles Verbum Dei 32, Pasadena La Salle 10 -- Quarterback Curtis Wilson ran for three touchdowns and passed for another to lead the Eagles to the Mid-Valley Division title at Compton Centennial.

San Juan Capistrano St. Margaret’s 21, Pasadena Maranatha 20 -- Maranatha senior Chaz Fuery scored on a 15-yard run with 2:42 to play, but senior Kyle Delahooke missed the point-after kick, allowing the top-seeded Tartans (14-0) to win the Northeast Division championship at Pasadena City College.
