Quarterback Keith Charles found speedy receiver David Gettis streaking down the middle and connected for a touchdown and a 19-14 lead. A two-point conversion pass gave Dorsey (4-1) a seven-point lead with 3:16 to play, and its defense took over from there.

Birmingham took a 14-7 lead on a one-yard sneak by Miramontes, a score set up by Miramontes’ 51-yard pass play to Cory Anderson that took the ball to the Dorsey five.Dorsey had a chance to tie when Stafon Johnson scored on a 13-yard run with 8:47 left in the first half, but kicker Albert Russell missed the extra point and Dorsey trailed, 14-13 at halftime.

Taft 35, Narbonne 13
Football was played under the lights at Harbor City Narbonne for the first time Friday night. Woodland Hills Taft hit the switch, too.

The visiting Toreadors amassed 341 yards of offense and limited Narbonne to one touchdown on defense in paving the way for the victory.

Narbonne, which installed temporary lighting for the game against Taft and next week’s Marine League showdown against San Pedro, came into the game ranked No. 13 in the Southland by The Times, but wasn’t much of a match against the No. 21 Toreadors.

``I thought this was going to be a dogfight,’’ said Taft junior quarterback Josh Portis.

Portis was a big factor in turning the tide on the Gauchos, throwing for 165 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 113 yards and two scores.

``They haven’t played a tough quarterback like me, so I had to do what I had to do and break them down,’’ Portis said.

The game began with plenty of offense. The Toreadors (4-1) scored on their first two possessions, a 40-yard strike from Portis to wide receiver Jamere Holland and a 75-yard run by Portis. Narbonne (4-1) also scored on its first drive, which ended in a 35-yard run by Marquis Delgado.

But the only points scored the rest of the half was on a 46-yard field goal by Narbonne’s Oscar De Alba, which cut the lead to 14-10 with just over a minute remaining in the second quarter.

Narbonne running back Shelton Banks made his biggest play of the game on special teams, blocking a punt early in the second half that Holland returned 27 yards to the Gaucho six-yard line. Three plays later, Portis scored on a quarterback sneak for a 21-10 lead. De Alba cut the lead to eight with a 32-yard field goal later in the third quarter, but the Toreadors scored on their next two possessions to put the game out of reach.

``That punt block really put them down,’’ Banks said.
