EMPIRE LEAGUE

Orange Lutheran 24, Placentia Valencia 7
Orange Lutheran was a shell of itself at the beginning of the season but now that the regular season has ended, the Lancers are shaping into the team expected to seriously contend for the Southern Section Division VI title.

The Lancers, ranked No. 10 in the Southland by The Times, produced a strong all-around effort Friday night against No. 18 Placentia Valencia, forcing five turnovers and making early plays on special teams to pave the way for a victory at Valencia.

The victory clinched the seventh consecutive league championship for Orange Lutheran and its third straight in a row in the Empire League.

Probably the best news for the Lancers was seeing quarterback Seth Blackamore and kicker Troy Van Blarcom back in championship form playing like their old selves.

Blackamore, the Division VI co-player of the year last season, who had taken only two snaps coming into the game after injuring his knee during practice in early August. He completed his first pass of the season to close out the first half, a 37-yard fling after a scramble to Austin Pettis.

Blackamore said he’s ready to take over starting duties when the playoffs begin next week.

“It’s feeling really good,” Blackamore said of the knee. “It’s almost back to normal.”

Van Blarcom, who missed the first half of the season after suffering a similar knee injury in June, booted a school record 54-yard field goal to give help the Lancers to a 17-0 halftime lead.

After Orange Lutheran (9-1, 5-0) stopped Valencia on its first three plays, Donny Lee returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown just 77 seconds into the game, putting the Tigers behind for the first time this season.

Valencia (9-1, 4-1) then had a 64-yard touchdown reception by Rashad Chambers called back because of a pass interference penalty on Chambers.

Orange Lutheran forced the second of three-first half turnovers with 3 minutes 11 seconds left in the first quarter, stripping Valencia running back Rylon Thomas at the Valencia 43. Zach Heim, who also had two interceptions, recovered the ball. Sophomore quarterback Aaron Corp, who has replaced Blackamore this season, followed with a two-yard run touchdown run for a 14-0 lead with 16.5 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

After the Lancers took a 17-0 lead on Van Blarcom’s field goal, Valencia appeared ready to score late in the first half, using 12 plays to drive to the Orange Lutheran seven-yard line. But Kyle Renny stepped in front of Anthony Quiroz at the goal line for an interception. and returned the interception to the Lancer 40.

The Lancers seamed content to sit on their lead and did not earn a first down in three possessions in the third quarter.

Valencia quarterback Luis Cruz stood firm on a blitz early in the fourth quarter and hit receiver Ray Magee over the middle and Magee ran for a 53-yards for the touchdown play, cutting the lead to 17-7. The Lancers then followed with an 11-play, 69-yard drive, that included their biggest play of the game - a 21-yard run by fullback Pat Roxas - and took a 24-7 lead on capped by a five-yard touchdown run by reserve quarterback Blake Lucas.

Arroyo Grande 21, San Luis Obispo 12
There was nothing fancy or sophisticated about Arroyo Grande’s strategy in the second half of its Pac-5 League title de-cider Friday night against San Luis Obispo.

“We decided to do what got us here - run right at them,” Coach Jon Huss said.

Andrew Hirsch scored touch-downs on runs of three and two yards to help the Eagles rally for a victory over previously unbeaten San Luis Obispo.

Arroyo Grande (8-2, 4-0) trailed, 12-7, at halftime before an overflow crowd of more than 4,000 at San Luis Obispo (8-1, 3-1). An interception by Max Stephenson on San Luis Obispo’s opening drive of the second half set the stage for the Eagles’ offensive line to pummel the Tigers.

Hirsch, who rushed for 125 yards, led a 67-yard drive, plung-ing into the end zone for a touch-down and a two-point conver-sion for a 15-12 lead that the Eagles would never relinquished.

Earlier, San Luis Obispo took advantage of a broken play, with quarterback Quinten Cate pick-ing up his own fumble and con-necting with Cory Roush on a 74-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter. Phil Garza finished with 130 yards rushing in 26 carries for the Tigers.

San Luis Obispo was ranked No. 1 in the Southern Section Division IV coaches’ poll, and its defeat opens the way for Ventura St. Bonaventure to gain the top playoff seeding.

Huss, though, isn’t ready to discount his team after the way it responded in its biggest game of the season.

“We’ve come a long way with this club,” he said. “It’s been a long journey, and it’s a very satis-fying victory.”

Marcus Sandoval had two sacks for Arroyo Grande, which limited the Tigers to 73 yards in the second half.

Villa Park 28, Tustin 21
Had it been a long-drive contest, Tustin might have left a winner.

But the Tillers could not move the ball quickly enough in the fourth quarter Thursday night against visiting Villa Park and ran out of options at the Spartan 15-yard line with 26 seconds remaining. On a fourth-and-nine play, quarterback Damien Cruz tried just his fourth pass of the game, but junior defensive back Brad Klein batted the ball away in the end zone to preserve a 28-21 victory.

The win clinched a second consecutive Century League title for Villa Park (9-1, 5-0) and its sixth in the last eight seasons.

Tustin (6-4, 4-1) began its final drive at its own 20-yard line with 7:27 remaining. The Tillers showed they could drive the ball on their opening possession of the game, using more than nine minutes to move the ball 76 yards in 18 plays to tie the score, 7-7. But with a minimal passing game -- Tustin had completed only 14 passes on the season coming into the game -- it had to methodically move the ball on its last drive.

The Tillers burned 3 1/2 minutes reaching midfield, then reached the Villa Park 21-yard line with 1:07 remaining. After a three-yard run by Jeff Quinn, an intentional spike by Cruz to stop the clock and a reverse to Mike Neal that lost two yards, the Tillers had one last chance. For one of the few times in the game, the Spartans were expecting a pass.

Klein, who had intercepted a pass in the end zone late in the second quarter, dropped back with tight end Samuel Stewart and batted the ball away in the back of the end zone with 18.8 seconds remaining.

“I had to pick it up a notch,” Klein said.

Tustin Coach Myron Miller was unhappy with the effort from his defense, which forced Villa Park to punt just once in five possessions. “We just missed opportunities,” he said.

Quinn rushed for 181 yards in 27 carries, including a 66-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter that tied the score, 21-21. Villa Park receiver Viken Bitar then caught a three-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Brad Johnson, their second scoring connection of the game, to give the Spartans a 28-21 lead with 7:27 left.
