Huntington 18, La Mirada 14

In a battle that pitted a pair of 5-1 teams against one another, Huntington scored on the final play of the game to cap a long touchdown drive that upended the host Matadores on Saturday at La Mirada.

Late in the fourth quarter, the Matadores mounted a serious scoring drive but failed to convert on a fourth-down play at the Huntington 13-yard line and turned the ball over on downs leading, 14-12, with 2:50 remaining.

With one timeout left and further pushed back due to a holding call on first down, Huntington was still able to piece together a long drive that took the Chargers from their own three to pay dirt. They passed their way downfield with Bryson Betty totaling 50 yards on three receptions, the last of which took the Chargers down to the four yard line.

With time expiring, Chase Ault was able to run in for the winning touchdown on the final play of the game.

The Chargers struck first, getting a four-yard touchdown run from Kyle Drinnon during a first-half scoring drive that was set up by a 50-yard run by Justin Martinez that took the ball down to the La Mirada four yard line.

La Mirada rallied for a pair of third-quarter touchdowns to take a 14-6 lead, although Huntington was able to pull to within 14-12 midway through the quarter when Joe Flannery scored on a one-yard run.
