Bishop Amat can’t close, lose on 49-yard FG with no time left: Bishop Amat fell apart in the final minute and Loyola made it pay with a dramatic 49-yard field goal from Diego Cacho-Sousa as time expired to lift the Cubs to an improbable 24-23 victory in Friday’s Mission League opener.
Bishop Amat led 23-14 with just over a minute to play and was driving deep in Cubs territory when it fumbled the ball.
Loyola, led by quarterback Sean O’Malley, who finished with 266 yards passing and two TDs, quickly moved the Cubs down the field, tossing a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jack Webster with 17 seconds left, cutting the Lancers’ lead to 23-21.
Bishop Amat couldn’t handle the ensuing onside kick, with Loyola’s Alex Johnson recovering it. After a short pass out of bounds, the Cubs lined up for a 49-yard field goal with 5 seconds left, and Cacho-Sousa delivered with a long line-drive that dipped over the crossbar.

San Dimas routs fourth straight team: The San Dimas football team scored on its first three drives of the game and its defense quickly established control of the game in a 49-0 rout of visiting Diamond Bar in a nonleague game Friday night.
San Dimas (4-0), which has scored 40 points or more in every game this year, scored on its first drive of the game.
Noah Maldonado took the handoff from the 2-yard line and scored to make it 7-0 with 9:56 left in the first quarter.

Bonita gets surprising win over Diamond Ranch: Bonita’s 21 points in the first 3 minutes of the second half powered the Bearcats to a 39-14 nonleague victory against Diamond Ranch Friday night. Offense and defense contributed to the three scores that completely deflated the Panthers, who didn’t score in the second half.
The momentum shift happened at the end of the first half when the Panthers were looking to add to their 14-8 lead. The Bearcats’ Randy Fertig blocked the Panthers 21-yard field goal attempt with 22 seconds left, and Bonita quarterback John Andrade followed with three completions of 17, 18 and 25 yards that set up a made 34-yard field goal for Deane Garrett.

Undefeated Duarte no match for Whittier Christian: How good is Whittier Christian quarterback Quinn Commans?Very good, but so are the Heralds, who showed it at Duarte High School on Friday.
Commans, who equaled a CIF Southern Section single-game record with nine touchdown passes last week, accounted for 398 yards and four scores to lead Whittier Christian to a 55-20 victory over the host Falcons in a nonleague game.
