Football: Alemany deals Centennial second loss, 45-28

Alemany running back Okalani Langi scored three touchdowns and the defense intercepted three passes in a 45-28 victory over Corona Centennial that proved the Warriors are legitimate Pac-5 Division contenders.

Langi, a junior transfer from Crespi, scored on runs of 1, 3 and 13 yards -- the last giving the Warriors (4-0) a commanding 45-21 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter. He also tipped several passes on defense.

“That’s my thing -- those short-yardage situations,” Langi said. “That’s when I’m at my best.”

Alif Grayes threw for 245 yards and ran for two touchdowns, Desean Holmes caught three passes for 129 yards and Dominic Davis had 137 yards in 15 carries and intercepted a pass for Alemany, ranked #4 in the Pac-5 Division and 8th in the Southland by The Times.

Tre Watson had 167 yards and two touchdowns in 23 carries and Robert Webber completed 11 of 30 passes for 208 yards and ran for one touchdown for the Huskies (2-2), ranked #1 in the Inland Division and #7 by The Times.

Centennial suffered back-to-back losses in the same season for the first time since 2003.
