Los Altos wins battle of unbeatens, 21-7; Bishop Amat wins in OT; Nogales wins; Baldwin Park shocks San Dimas

Los Altos gets defensive in 21-7 win: Anyone thinking that the Los Altos High School football is a one-man show got a rude awakening on Friday night.
With star running back Tyler Nevens bottled up for most of the night, the Conquerors turned to other methods to post a 21-7 win over host Charter Oak and clinch at least a share of the Hacienda League championship.
“Football is a team game, and it takes us all,” Los Altos head coach Dale Ziola said. “Tyler is special. He’s awesome. But everyone’s trying to stop him and we’ve got to have an answer and the kids have been responding.”

Nogales closing in on league title: Nogales overcame an early 14-point deficit to score 28 unanswered points on its way to beating Duarte in a pivotal Montview League game, 28-14.
Nogales, the second-ranked team in the CIF-SS Division 13 poll, didn’t do itself any favors after losing to Azusa in the league opener.

Glendora comes up short: Ayala tackled Glendora quarterback Bryce Wooldridge at the 2-yard line as time expired to win its first league championship since 2008 by a score of 26-21 Friday night at Ayala.For a defense that had only given up six points in league, it was only fitting that it was the unit on the field to secure the Palomares League title in head coach A.J. Garcia’s first season at the helm.

Damien hangs tough in loss: The Damien Spartans were able to do something few teams have done this season — stay close to the explosive Rancho Cucamonga Cougars.
But that can turn on a dime and it did, as the Cougars used a late second-quarter surge and went on to a 44-24 win that secured the Cougars a share of the Baseline League title Friday night at Cougar Stadium.

Bishop Amat boots home OT win: Extra-point tries are usually one of the more mundane parts of a football game but the last extra point of the night for the Bishop Amat High School football team was the biggest of the team’s season.
Kicker Shazel Sakr nailed the ball through the uprights to give the Lancers a thrilling 41-40 overtime win over Chaminade in Mission League action on Friday night.
