BAY LEAGUE

Mira Costa 24, Beverly Hills 10
Tyler Pringle rushed for 196 yards in 31 carries and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter to lead the Mustangs to their fourth consecutive Bay League title in a championship showdown at Mira Costa.

The victory extended several streaks for Mira Costa (10-0, 4-0), which most likely will be seeded No. 1 in the Division III playoffs. Under Coach Don Morrow, the Mustangs have won 38 regular-season games, 22 league games and 21 home games in a row.

Mira Costa’s punishing ground game was more than Beverly Hills (5-3-2, 2-1-1) could handle after the teams battled to a 10-10 tie in the first half.

A 44-yard run by Pringle highlighted a seven-play, 91-yard drive and set up his six-yard scoring run that put the Mustangs ahead, 17-10, with 4:14 left in the third quarter. Mataele Pauu, a 6-foot-2, 295-pound junior, scored the second of his two one-yard touchdown runs early in the fourth quarter to make it 24-10.

Fullback Kyle Darr had 116 yards in 12 carries for Mira Costa.

Beverly Hills rallied from a 10-0 deficit in the second quarter on a 51-yard punt return for a touchdown by sophomore Marcus Jones and a 26-yard field goal by Juan Amador with four seconds left in the half, following a mishandled punt return by Mira Costa.

But the Normans’ passing game sputtered all night. Ollie Linter completed only 13 of 33 passes for 177 yards. The game was delayed for 20 minutes in the fourth quarter after Brandon Rice, Beverly Hills’ standout receiver, suffered a broken collarbone, according to medical personnel.

FOOTHILL LEAGUE

Hart 42, Valencia 35
With its 62-game Foothill League winning streak in jeopardy, Newhall Hart was able to overcome a 21-point deficit and 372 yards passing by sophomore quarterback Michael Herrick to pull out a victory over Valencia before 8,000 at College of the Canyons.

“It was an unbelievable battle,” Hart Coach Mike Herrington said moments after Kevin Ciccone’s interception in the end zone with no time left preserved the victory.

Hart (7-3, 5-0 in league play), which won the league title for the 13th consecutive season, broke a 35-35 tie on Dan Howell’s one-yard touchdown plunge on fourth down with 1:55 left. Valencia (7-3, 3-2) had stopped three consecutive running plays on first-and-goal from the two.

Herrick, who completed 32 of 51 passes, drove the Vikings to the Hart 30 with seven seconds left. He rolled right and tried to get the ball to Chris Wright in the end zone. But Ciccone leaped and made the interception, leaving Valencia with an 0-10 career record against its rival.

“We were warriors today,” Herrick said. “It’s very frustrating, but we’re going to do some damage in the playoffs.”

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Herrick had Hart’s defense in a panic mode. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns for a 21-7 lead.

The lead reached 28-7 with 9:36 left in the second quarter on a 15-yard touchdown run by Jeff Bomberger, his second of the game.

But Hart scored 28 consecutive points in a 10-minute span. Howell ran two yards for a touchdown. Brian Elledge caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Sean Norton. Norton ran nine yards for a touchdown. And Howell added a two-yard touchdown run with 5:23 left in the third quarter, putting Hart on top, 35-28. Norton finished 13 for 21 for 230 yards passing.

Senior running back Randall Brown rushed for 194 yards and two second-half touchdowns in 18 carries as the Conquerors clinched the Miramonte League title outright with a victory at Wilson.

Los Altos, the defending Southern Section Division VI champion, scored three times in the last 18:56 to break a 14-14 halftime deadlock.

Brown put the Conquerors (10-0, 4-0) ahead for good with a 16-yard touchdown run with 7:04 to play in the third quarter. He followed with a 50-yard scoring run with 2:51 to play that gave Los Altos a 28-14 lead.

Teammate Tau Alo intercepted a Jason Estrada pass and returned it 80 yards for the final score. Senior running back Daniel Drayton also was effective on the ground, rushing for 124 yards and a two-yard touchdown in 18 carries. The efforts of Brown and Drayton offset a strong performance by Wilson senior Price Wilkes, who gained 265 yards in 27 carries, including a 78-yard touchdown on the game’s first play from scrimmage.

The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak for the second-place Wildcats (8-2, 3-1), who were trying for their first victory over Los Altos since 1997.

MOUNTAIN VIEW LEAGUE

Norco 28, Corona 27 (OT)
Sophomore running back Toby Gerhart capped perhaps the most prolific 10-day span in Southern Section history by running for the go-ahead touchdown in overtime Friday night to give Norco a victory over Corona that clinched the Cougars’ first outright Mountain View League title since 1995.

Gerhart rushed for 315 yards and three touchdowns in 42 carries, including a four-yard score in the extra period for Norco (9-1, 5-0 in league), ranked No. 24 by The Times. He has rushed for 1,042 yards and 10 touchdowns in Norco’s last three games, which were bunched together because of postponements stemming from the Southern California wildfires.

Corona (7-3, 3-2) pulled to within a point in overtime when Nathaniel Gutierrez ran around left end for a three-yard touchdown. But the Panthers’ two-point conversion failed when a lineman illegally touched quarterback Brian Hildebrand’s pass, which fell incomplete.

Corona had a chance to win the game near the end of regulation but kicker Luis Medina pulled a 26-yard field goal attempt wide left.

Norco took over at its own 20-yard line after blocking a 42-yard field-goal attempt midway through the fourth quarter and marched for the tying score as Gerhart broke a 44-yard touchdown run to pull the Cougars to within 21-19 with 1 minute 45 seconds to play. A personal foul gave Norco the ball inside the Corona two-yard line on the two-point conversion and Gerhart ran it in to tie the score.

Hildebrand ran for one touchdown and threw another for Corona, which squandered leads of 14-0 and 21-13. The quarterback rushed for 159 yards in 19 carries and completed 11 of 21 passes for 125 yards.

Northwood 14, Tesoro 13
Two big plays on special teams helped to lead Irvine Northwood to its third consecutive Pacific Coast League title with the victory over host Rancho Santa Margarita Tesoro.

Trailing, 13-7, Erik Bosshart blocked an extra-point attempt by Tesoro’s Todd Sciacqua to keep the Timberwolves close midway through the third quarter.

After Northwood (9-1, 5-0) failed to get off a punt to open the fourth quarter, Tesoro took over at the Timberwolves’ seven-yard line. However, the Titans had to settle for Sciacqua’s 27-yard field goal attempt, which was also blocked, this time by Dylan Tasher. Mike Stone picked up the loose ball and took it to the Tesoro 43.

Seven plays later, Northwood scored on a 17-yard pass from backup quarterback Dan Selway to Bosshart. Brian Klucsar’s extra-point gave the Timberwolves a 14-13 lead.

Tesoro (8-2, 4-1), which led at halftime, 7-0, scored on its first possession of the game. Quarterback Nick Nelson connected with Erik Hamren on a 73-yard pass play, keying a four-play drive that ended in a three-yard run by Nelson.

Hamren also scored on a 12-yard pass from Nelson in the third quarter.

SERRA LEAGUE

Loyola 28, Bishop Amat 5
Early in the season, Los Angeles Loyola had many doubters, but a late-season surge has no doubt turned them into believers.

And it’s turned the Cubs into the Serra League champions.

Riding a defense that came into question early during league play, Loyola defeated host La Puente Bishop Amat and clinched a share of the league title.

Loyola (7-3, 4-1 in league) won its final four games after a 3-3 start and will enter the playoffs as the No. 1 team from the Serra League based on a head-to-head victory over co-champion Santa Ana Mater Dei.

“It’s always sweet,” said Steve Grady, who has guided Loyola to 15 league titles since taking over as coach in 1976. “My guess is, a lot of people wrote us off when we started 3-3, but now we’re off to start a new season.”

Bishop Amat had only 149 yards and eight first downs against a Loyola defense that was scrutinized after allowing 35, 28 and 24 points in its first three Serra League games.

James Abbott had a sack and one of two Loyola interceptions. He returned his interception 30 yards for a touchdown that gave the Cubs a 28-3 lead with 7 minutes 37 seconds left in the third quarter.

Quarterback Scott Deke provided most of the offense by completing nine of 13 passes for 117 yards and touchdowns of six and 18 yards. George Hypolite had 81 yards in 10 carries and Trason Bragg added 49 yards and a touchdown in 12 carries.

Bishop Amat (6-4, 2-3) falls into a tie for third place with Santa Margarita and Bellflower St. John Bosco.
--Peter Yoon

Mater Dei 21, Santa Margarita 7
The Monarchs’ first league title since 1999 came on the strength of a running game that revolved around quarterback Jason Forcier.

Forcier rushed 16 times for 106 yards and scored the first touchdown of the game on an eight-yard run. The Monarchs rushed 43 times for 218 yards in winning for the sixth time in seven games.

Mater Dei (6-4, 4-1), ranked No. 22, got a second-quarter touchdown on a five-yard run by Rick Russell capping a nine-play, 71-yard drive in which the Monarchs never faced a third-down situation. The Monarchs made the score 21-0 in the third quarter on a one-yard run by Justin Guzman, who had 14 carries for 76 yards.

Mater Dei intercepted Michael Angelo’s first two passes and scrambled Santa Margarita’s offense to the point where the Eagles could do little more than snap the ball to Angelo and have him run. The Monarch defense held No. 20 Santa Margarita (7-3, 2-3) to 197 yards, 78 of which came after Mater Dei led 21-0.

Angelo ran 23 times for 47 yards and completed 12 of 18 passes for 129 yards -- 92 of which came in the second half.

Santa Margarita lost three of its final four games and also saw an end to what had been its three-game winning streak against Mater Dei.

GOLDEN WEST LEAGUE

Orange 21, Wesminster 13
Good defenses are supposed to stop good offenses, but the football adage was proved false Thursday night.

Orange’s offense scored three times, and that was enough for the Panthers to defeat Westminster to win the Golden West League title. It was Orange’s first title since 1992, which was its last playoff appearance before qualifying last season.

Orange (9-1, 5-0 in league play) did little over the past decade. That frustration disappeared in the night as Chris Spencer intercepted a pass at the five-yard line with 1 minute 9 seconds left, ending any comeback hopes for Westminster (8-2, 4-1). It was Spencer’s first interception of the season and Orange’s third of the night.

“Everybody said it was their defense against our offense, but we ground out ... a victory,” said third-year Coach Greg Gibson, who inherited a program that had gone 1-29 before he arrived.

James Peni, who rushed 13 times for 56 yards, scored twice on one-yard runs in Orange’s three-pronged, double-wing offense.

But it was Justin Jones and Daniel Chairez who did most of the damage against Westminster, which had allowed only 75 points in the first nine games.

Jones, Orange County’s leading rusher, carried 21 times for 98 yards and scored on a 19-yard run with 6:08 remaining to provide the final margin. Chairez, the county’s fourth-leading rusher, carried 14 times for 90 yards as Orange gained 248 yards on the ground in 54 carries.

On his previous carry, Jones had fumbled at the Westminster eight-yard line, giving the Lions life. But Juan Martinez intercepted at the 20 and on the next play Jones paid dividends.

“I’ve been waiting for this for four years,” Jones said. “Freshman year, I always said we were going to turn the school around.”

Chino 19, Diamond Bar 18
Sophomore linebacker Juan Gutierres knocked down Jeff Shubin’s two-point conversion pass with 37 seconds left to preserve the victory at Chino High.

Diamond Bar (7-3, 3-2) put itself in position to win after recovering an onside kick with 1:37 left. Shubin hit Marvin Crosby with a 37-yard pass on a third-and-one play to put the ball at the Chino 36. Shubin avoided a sack two plays later and hit Randy Tyler for a 25-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 19-18.

Shubin rolled out on the two-point conversion play and tried to get the ball to running back Jo Beaudion at the five-yard line, but Gutierres got a hand on the ball.

Chino punter Joe Valdez and kicker Durrell Chamorro combined to hinder Diamond Bar’s field position all night. Valdez placed all four of his punts inside the Diamond Bar 20-yard line and Chamorro had four touchbacks on kickoffs and a 46-yard field goal.

Chino (7-3, 4-1) started five of its 11 possessions at midfield or better but only took advantage of the field position to score 10 points. Shawn Oatis led Chino with 182 yards rushing and two touchdowns in 27 carries.
