Check out what Reign coach Karl Taylor, who coached Kings goalie Jonathan Quick last year in Reading, had to say on his star pupil here.

From Laura Johnson up in snowy Wrightwood...

...and the Panthers fall short in their first bid for a Southern Section title.

Your second-half scoring:

CO: Adam Muema 3 run (Robert Poage kick).
CO: Brandon Golden 14 run (Poage kick).
DR: Xavier Molina-Williams 10 pass from Gus Viramontes (Marley kick).
CO: Adam Muema 2 run (Poage kick).

Your scoring so far:

1st Quarter
Charter Oak: Robert Poage 30-yard field goal at 2:03.

>>The Chargers had great field position to start the drive at the Panthers' 30 yard line, but got stopped in a critical third-and-3 pass attempt on the 14-yard line. That set up the easy field goal for Poage. 3-0, Charter Oak.

2nd Quarter
Diamond Ranch: Brian Spirlin 15 TD run at 11:24.

>>This drive started late in the first quarter for Diamond Ranch, which got great field position after a 45-yard punt return by Jojo Curiel. It took only six plays from there for the game's first touchdown, as Spirlin broke the first wave of tacklers and was helped by a push from big lineman Xavier Molina-Williams. Sean Marley hit the extra point. 7-3, Diamond Ranch.

Charter Oak: Adam Muena 3 TD run at 8:13.

>> A 7-play, 74-yard drive spanning 3:04 was highlighted by a big 29-yard scramble by Charter Oak QB Chris Allen. Allen also completed a 21-yard pass to tight end Tyler Perri. Poage's extra point attempt hit the crossbar after a poor snap. 9-7, Charter Oak.

Checked my e-mail this afternoon only to learn I've been missing out on a full day of snowboarding. There's 6 to 12 inches of snow up in Wrightwood; the park opens at 9 a.m. tomorrow and closes at 4 p.m. More details here.
