Quarterback Clay Maranville began the second quarter with a perfectly thrown 22-yard touchdown pass to Lorenzo Burns.
Running back Greg Holt took the ball in from the 1-yard line after the Lions drove down the field on their next possession to make it 17-0. Moments later, corner back Simeon Burns intercepted a Saints pass and returned it 31 yards into the end zone.
Special teams came up big on the following series of plays. After stopping Adelanto in 4 plays, Lorenzo Burns returned the Saints’ punt for a 62-yard punt and the Lions took a 32-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Linfield got on the board right after the second half kickoff. The Lions drove downfield and scored on running back Zac Archer’s 7-yard run to make it 39-0. The Lions last score came in the fourth as Maranville hit Simeon Burns with a 27-yard touchdown pass down the sideline.
Linebacker Cooper Whitworth recovered a Saints fumble on Adelanto’s 35-yard line to put the game away. The Lions came in and ran Victory on their last possession and took the game 46-0.
