SERRA LEAGUE

Loyola 29, St. John Bosco 24
Los Angeles Loyola quarterback Scott Deke was the hero on both sides of the ball Saturday night. Deke threw four touchdown passes and broke up a fourth down pass in the end zone with 10 seconds remaining to preserve the victory at Glendale High.

Deke, who completed 12 of 16 passes for 283 yards, threw his fourth touchdown pass with 2 minutes 28 seconds remaining in the game to give the Cubs their final lead of the game.

St. John Bosco (6-2, 1-2) marched down the field on its final possession, reaching the Loyola 5 on a first-down run by Terrance King. But a penalty on the Braves for an illegal receiver down field, followed by an incomplete pass and a five-yard loss by King on an option left them with fourth and goal from the 15 with 16 seconds remaining.

A trick pass from backup quarterback Jeff Edwards to starting quarterback Patrick Cowan was then batted away in the end zone by Deke, giving the Cubs their 16th win in their last 17 meetings against St. John Bosco.

Loyola (5-3, 2-1) also made several mistakes near the Braves goal line.

Loyola missed an opportunity to take a double-digit lead in the first half, when consecutive penalties wiped out a touchdown and moved the ball from first and goal at the Bosco 5 to the 30.

The Cubs then turned the ball over on downs and the Braves scored four plays later on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Edwards to De Andre Washington, giving the Braves a 14-10 lead.

The Cubs also fumbled at the Braves 10-yard line early in the second half.

DEL REY LEAGUE

Crespi 17, Serra 15
Upset after missing a 44-yard field goal in the third quarter, Sean Sehnem received a pep talk from an assistant coach, then provided the decisive points Friday night, making a 17-yard field goal with five seconds left to give Encino Crespi a victory over Gardena Serra in a game that likely decided the Del Rey League title.

The victory puts Crespi (7-1, 3-0) in command of the league race and speaks plenty about the rebuilding job accomplished by third-year Coach Troy Thomas. Two years ago, the Celts went 0-10. Now they are two wins away from their first league title since 1991.

“It’s been a long 2 ½ years, but it sure is nice right now and the program is definitely on the rise,” Thomas said.

Crespi opened a 14-3 lead at halftime, keyed by a 64-yard touchdown run from quarterback Kevin Vollmer on the second play of the game. Serra (5-3, 2-1) started slowly after showing up late because of a 2 ½-hour bus drive in traffic, but the Cavaliers rallied in the fourth quarter.

Short touchdown runs by Emmanuel Robinson and Terry Wilson gave Serra a 15-14 lead with 4:43 left. Crespi had been limited to 11 totals yards in the second half until Vollmer guided the Celts from their own 33 down to the 1-yard line behind the running of Randle Harris.

On fourth down, Sehnem made his game-winning field goal.

“I was trying to calm down,” Sehnem said.

Afterward, an excited Sehnem planned to celebrate by calling his brother, Tim, an F-16 pilot stationed in South Korea.

“I might call him right now,” he said.

Vollmer finished with 116 yards rushing in 14 carries. Harris rushed for 81 yards. Ryan Kelly led Serra with 90 yards in 19 carries.

MOUNTAIN VIEW LEAGUE

Corona Centennial 33, Corona 14
For two weeks all Centennial running back Terrell Jackson heard from crosstown rival Corona was how his team was overrated and that its string of three consecutive Mountain View League titles would end this year.

So after making mincemeat out of Corona’s defense with a 227-yard, three-touchdown performance, Jackson didn’t mince words.

“Everybody thought they were going to beat us,” said Jackson, whose team was coming off a bye week. “Everybody kept saying we were overrated and they had a better record, but who did they play? We showed tonight who the toughest team is.”

Jackson, who had 155 yards in the first half, scored on runs of four, 14 and two yards. He carried 34 times for the Huskies (5-2, 2-0), ranked No. 10 by The Times.

Corona (5-2, 1-1) trailed, 20-7, at halftime but drove to the Centennial nine-yard line on its opening possession of the second half. There, Centennial’s Donovan Brown intercepted a Brian Hildebrand pass and returned it 24 yards to the Corona 30.

The Huskies then took six plays to score and had a 27-7 lead with 5:54 left in the third quarter.

“That interception was huge,” Centennial Coach Matt Logan said. “That was a total game-breaker right there.”

A 76-yard run by Kenny Moon set up a five-yard touchdown run by Hildebrand to pull Corona to within 27-14, but a two-yard plunge by quarterback Chris Keating gave Centennial a 33-14 lead with 10:36 left to play.

PIONEER LEAGUE

Culver City 9, Morningside 6
The Centaurs clinched at least a tie for the Pioneer League title by stopping two Morningside drives inside the Culver City 30-yard line in the last five minutes of a turnover-plagued game at Culver City.

The teams combined for six turnovers in the second half, when a steady rain made handling the ball treacherous. Each team finished with five turnovers.

Culver City (8-1, 5-0 in league play), ranked No. 1 in Southern Section Division X, avenged a 17-16 loss to Morningside in last year’s league finale that was the only blemish on an otherwise perfect regular season.

Morningside (7-1, 3-1), ranked No. 2 in Division X, drove to the Culver City 15 with just over five minutes to play. But a sack by Brandon Patterson and an interception by lineman Jonathan Moore ended the threat. The Monarchs got to the Centaur 27 in the final minute before a high snap sailed over quarterback Funaki Mateaki for a big loss.

Culver City drove 91 yards on the game’s first possession and took a 7-0 lead on a four-yard scoring run by James Magee.

Morningside pulled within 7-6 midway through the second quarter when Maurice Payne intercepted a pass by Kris Cueva and returned it 67 yards for a touchdown. Nehemiah Mundy blocked the extra-point attempt.

A high snap sailed over Morningside punter Moses Manu, who was lined up deep in his end zone, for a safety late in the third quarter. The loss ended the Monarchs’ winning streak at eight games.

Linebacker Jeff Jones set up the winning kick three plays earlier, when he intercepted a pass and returned it 21 yards to the Servite 19-yard line with 29 seconds left to play.

The Eagles (7-1, 2-1 in league play) let the clock run down to three seconds before calling a timeout. Fowle made his game-winning kick with more than 10 yards to spare.

Servite (6-2, 1-2), which had taken a 17-0 lead, was hurt at the start of the fourth quarter by the loss of sophomore running back Ken Ashley, who injured his ankle after gaining 122 yards in 18 carries.

The Friars, ranked No. 16 by The Times, were playing without quarterback Mike Lawrence, who is out for the season after breaking his thumb two weeks ago.

Michael Angelo ran for 137 yards and completed nine of 20 passes for 173 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mark Restelli that put No. 15 Santa Margarita on the scoreboard with 8 minutes 14 seconds left in the second quarter.

SOUTH COAST LEAGUE

Mission Viejo 49, San Clemente 7
Hoping to end Mission Viejo’s winning streak, San Clemente instead became the Diablos’ 36th consecutive victim. And it wasn’t even close.

Mission Viejo, ranked No. 1 in the Southland by The Times and No. 2 in the state by Cal-Hi Sports, scored a victory over No. 23 San Clemente in which it seized control of a fourth consecutive South Coast League title by beating its main rival.

“There wasn’t a doubt in my mind we were going to win,” said Cole Bergquist, San Clemente’s quarterback who completed eight of 19 passes for 52 yards with one interception and spent most of the night hurried by rushing defenders. He was sacked three times. “I can’t imagine this moment. To play like this is sad.”

The victory gives Mission Viejo the third-longest winning streak in Southern Section history, moving past Los Angeles Loyola, which had its streak ended in 1964 at 35. Still ahead of the Diablos are Canyon Country Canyon, with 46 from 1983 to ‘86, and Temple City, which won 60 from 1969 to ’73.

“We don’t really care about the streak,” said Marty Tadman, a senior receiver and defensive back who provides many of the intangibles that have allowed the Diablos such success. “We wanted this game for the championship and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. That’s what it meant to us.”

Historically, San Clemente is the team to end such winning streaks. The Tritons, on their home field as they were on Friday, ended the 27-game winning streak of Santa Ana Mater Dei in 1995 and the 28-game winning streak of Santa Margarita in 1998.

Mission Viejo (8-0, 3-0 in the league) has won the last two Division II titles, and the Diablos appear primed for a third. San Clemente, after five consecutive victories, dropped to 5-2, 2-1.

Though Mission Viejo scored seven touchdowns, it was the defense that paved the way. It started in the opening minutes. Sure-handed Tadman fumbled the opening kickoff -- only Mission Viejo’s fourth turnover of the season -- to give San Clemente possession at the Diablo 29-yard line. The Tritons ended up punting from the 48.

“When the defense came out and knocked them back 20 yards, that really set the tone for the whole game,” said Tadman, who caught three passes for 121 yards and a 51-yard touchdown from Mark Sanchez that helped the Diablos build a 28-0 halftime lead.

After Mission Viejo’s defense made its impressive first stand, the offense answered with an 80-yard, nine-play drive that ended with Chane Moline’s 14-yard run. Moline, who carried 13 times for 100 yards, later added a five-yard score, and also caught a five-yard scoring pass from Sonny McCracken on a fake field goal.

Two San Clemente turnovers yielded 14 points for the Diablos.

Mission Viejo, which outgained San Clemente, 460-212 yards, rushed for 267 yards. Sanchez, who completed nine of 13 passes for 188 yards, had a 20-yard scoring pass to Chase Frazier.

“We needed to capitalize and make no mistakes,” Bergquist said. “Our linemen are better than they played. The whole team. We came out a little timid.”

Edison 31, Esperanza 7
For the seventh consecutive week, Huntington Beach Edison’s defense came up big. This time it paid off with a victory over Anaheim Esperanza, a team averaging 34.4 points per game.

The Chargers (5-3, 2-1), ranked No. 22 in the Southland by The Times, intercepted four passes, two by Nate Mitani, who returned one 41 yards for a touchdown, to set up a battle for first place in league next Friday against Fountain Valley at Edison Field.

“I expected a little more [from Esperanza], but I didn’t expect much against us, not against our defense,” Mitani said.

Edison allowed only a 63-yard scoring pass from Grant Farrell to Wesley Williams in the third quarter. Two Esperanza drives ended without points inside the Edison 20-yard line and the Aztecs (4-4, 1-2) finished with five turnovers that led to 17 points.

Knowing Esperanza was smarting from an upset by Huntington Beach, Edison focused on matching the Aztecs’ intensity. The Chargers built a 17-0 hafltime lead on a 10-yard run by Donald Speerman, a 30-yard double pass from receiver Matt White to David Andrew and a 31-yard field goal by Dominik Bronowicki.

Edison finished off the game with fourth-quarter scores by Joshua Gage, who had a 15-yard run, and Mitani.
