Football:
Neither Marcel Perez nor Ryan Lawrence was going to walk out of Citrus College thinking their respective programs played especially well on Friday night.
However, getting the win sure seems to change the outlook of a game.
Northview and Coach Perez left Glendora with a 22-16 victory.
The Vikings outscored the Tartans 15-0 in the second half.
GHS led from the 3:48 mark of the second quarter until there was 1:19 left in the game.
The backbreaker was a 36-yard TD pass from Robert Lucero to his brother Isaiah.
Lucero caught the ball at approximately the 30-yard line, revered course to his left and outran a pair of Tartans into the east end zone.
Lucero also connected with Jaishon Bledsoe on a 54-yard scoring strike with 3:55 to play in the first quarter to give NHS a 7-6 lead.
Lucero’s 1-yard TD run with 19 seconds remaining in the third period pulled the Vikings to within 16-14 of the Tartans.
Lucero struggled, as he completed just 12 of his 32 pass attempts.
However, the Vikings’ senior threw for 239 yards, and he was in on all three of Northview’s scoring plays, including a 2-point conversion on the game-winning drive.
Dominic Munoz led the NHS ground game with 19 yards on seven carries.
Isaiah Lucero caught five passes for 115 yards.
Bledsoe reeled in three passes for 77 yards.
And Aidan Jimenez totaled 45 receiving yards on three catches.
Perez was happy to get the W, however, the Vikings’ personal fouls and a number of bad snaps is something the CIF champ will definitely address with his program before week three.
Glendora took a 6-0 lead when Sebastian Lawrence scored on a fourth-down keeper from one yard out.
Trailing 7-6, Lawrence hit Jarod Ceniceros on a 54-yard TD pass.
And the Tartans enjoyed a 16-7 lead after Nick Norell booted a 37-yard field goal in the waning moments of the first half.
But that would be it offensively.
Lawrence completed 14-of-27 for 167 yards and the two scores.
The Glendora ground game struggled all night.
Dylan Hynes had a team-high 13 yards rushing on 11 carries.
Ceniceros led the Tartans’ receiving corps with five catches for 68 yards.
Hynes caught three passes for 28 yards and Aidan Yamazaki had three receptions for 10 yards.
Aspen Suprenant caught one pass for eight yards.
Up next: NHS and GHS will both be in action next Friday.
The Vikings travel to La Serna.
The Lancers (2-1) dropped a 42-7 beatdown on their visitors from Warren.
And the Tartans visit Alta Loma.
The Braves (2-1) fell at Claremont, 22-13, on Friday.
