Barron Drilled Three Field Goals for Vista Murrieta
By Jennifer Sevilla
It’s been a long time
since the Southwestern league crown has gone to someone other than
Murrieta Valley or Vista Murrieta. With a undefeated record, fresh
off a win against Murrieta Valley, a ball control offense and strong
defense Chaparral came into the game with the best opportunity to
force a change in the guard. In the end it was not to be.
The Broncos started the
game with a booming kickoff for a touchback. On the first play of the
game, Pumas quarterback Brock White dropped back for a pass
and hit Brody Soderman with a pass in stride for an 80 yard
touchdown.
Out came the Broncos
offense looking for a quick score along the right hash, but Immanuel
Lashley was able to deflect the pass. The Pumas held strong and
and forced a Bronco punt. At their own 23 yard line the Pumas drove
into scoring position to the Bronco 15 yard line.
The Pumas were forced to
kick a 32 yard field goal which which Mikey Terriquez drilled
right down the middle. Both teams exchanged possessions and entered
the second quarter with Chaparral leading 10-0.
The second quarter began
with the ball in the Broncos hands and they began a pong clock
draining drive which ended with a 1 yard touchdown run by Keola
Anderson.
Vista Murrieta kicked the
ball deep again and Chaparral began at their own 20 yard line. The
Pumas drove down to midfield before being forced to punt the ball
away. With about two minutes until halftime the Broncos had the ball
at their own 28 yard line. They were able to drive down to the Pumas
15 yardline before having to settle for a 32 yard field goal which
Josh Baron also drilled down the middle. Chaparral received
the kickoff and let the time expire and the teams went into half time
all tied up at 10.
The Pumas kicked off to
start the second half. The Broncos began at theit 40 yard line and
drove down to the Pumas 31 yard line before Raqueal Wagstaff ran
the ball into the end zone for the first score of the half. Chaparral
began their next drive at their 20 yard line.
Chaparral answered back
with a methodical drive capped by a 3 yard run by Hunter Roddy.
The Puma defense was able to force a punt on the Broncos next
possession and had the ball at their 42 yard line.
As the Pumas were driving
Bronco defensive back Hunter Escorcia picked off a deflected
pass and ran it back for a touchdown.
Chaparral was forced to
punt the ball away on their ensuing possession and the broncos ran it
back to the Pumas 30 yard line. On the very next play Robert
Coleman ran into the end zone for a touchdown. The Broncos kicked
off to Chaparral just prior to the end of the third quarter.
Down 31-17, Chaparral
began the 4th quarter with the ball at their own 31 yard line. The
Broncos forced another punt which the Broncos were able to convert
into a 45 yard field goal by Josh Barron.
On the ensuing drive
Broncos defensive back Yanni Wyatt picked off a pass and was downed
at the Chaparral 28 yard line. The Broncos were held to a 31 yard
Josh Barron field goal. The teams exchanged possessions one
lore time before the broncos ran out the clock ahead 37-17.

distractions get in the way” said Chaparral Head Coach, Andrew
Rammer. “Our Team needs to fix a couple of mistakes and keep
the intensity we started out with”.
