Moorpark’s late score beats Thousand Oaks

Moorpark High junior quarterback Brody Rohach connected on a 19-yard pass to James Dearborn for the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter to give the visiting Musketeers a 20-17 Marmonte League victory over No. 24-ranked Thousand Oaks on Friday night.

Rohach usually splits time at quarterback with Brian Blechen, who sat out due to injury, but he completed 20 of 39 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns.

Early in the second half, he threw seven consecutive incomplete passes, but on the Musketeers’ winning possession he completed passes of 13 and 15 yards to push Moorpark into the red zone.

“He showed a lot of poise under pressure,” said Moorpark Coach Tim Lins, whose team improved to 6-1 overall and 3-0 in league. “He came through when he needed to.”

Tyler Peterson led Moorpark with 104 rushing yards in 29 carries.

Running back John Lister finished with 105 yards in 19 carries, including a 43-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, for Thousand Oaks (6-1, 3-1).
