A STRUGGLE, BUT THEY PROVE POINT : SAN FERNANDO 25 TAFT 20.


Byline: Bryan Rodgers Staff Writer

Leading up to San Fernando's matchup against Taft, Tigers coach Sean Blunt blunt (blunt) having a thick or dull edge or point; not sharp.  had become increasingly annoyed.

 of doubt. Could San Fernando beat a real team?

Friday night, the Tigers answered that question with a 25-20 victory over visiting Taft, although it didn't come easily.

San Fernando (5-0) had to survive a major blunder and one last pass attempt from a desperate Taft team that fell for the fourth time in five games.

 had control when disaster nearly struck on a fourth down play. With nine seconds remaining, a bad snap eluded quarterback Thomas Hoohuli. Once the play was ruled dead, Taft took over on San Fernando's 11 yard line for one final play.

Brandon Hance tried to connect with receiver Greig Carlson in the corner of the end zone but two San Fernando defenders batted the pass away. San Fernando players and coaches immediately streamed onto the field to celebrate.

``OK now,'' Blunt said. ``This shows that we are a good team.

 Taft defense. Stanley, who finished with 143 yards and three touchdowns in 27 carries, dominated in the first half.

Stanley gained 129 of those yards in the opening half and scored touchdowns on runs of 1 and 2 yards.

San Fernando scored three touchdowns in the second quarter and led 19-6 at halftime.

Taft, however, rallied to take the lead 20-19 as Hance hit Carlson with two touchdown passes, one a 30 yarder and the other from 13 yards.

But Taft was unable to hold its lead. San Fernando drove 71 yards and capped the drive with Stanley's third touchdown, a 1 yard run with nearly seven minutes left.

``We played better in the second half,'' Taft coach Troy Starr said. ``We have our problems though, and there is no quick fix. Stanley is a good tough inside runner and that gives us trouble.''
