It's easy to look at Banning's 4-6 regular-season record and wonder who was asleep at the gate when the City Section playoff teams were let in.

But the 11th-seeded Pilots are legitimate title contenders, as they showed Thursday night.

A.J. Tuitele rushed for 231 yards on 27 carries as Banning held off fifth-seeded Kennedy 27-20 in a first-round game at Kennedy.

The Golden Cougars took an 8-1-1 record into the game, but the Pilots had spent the past three months playing the likes of Mater Dei Mater Dei is Latin for "Mother of God", referring to the Virgin Mary. The term has been used to name various institutions, often Catholic, including:

 and Carson - tough matchups that apparently prepared them well for the playoffs.

 scored on a 75-yard punt return, and the Golden Cougars had the ball twice in the fourth quarter but could not score.

Adam Geery was intercepted by Banning's James Carter at the Pilots' 3 on the first series of the quarter. Banning then took almost six minutes off the clock but turned the ball over on downs at the Kennedy 42 with five minutes left.

Kennedy ran the ball on 11 consecutive plays and reached the Banning 10. But on fourth down, Norris slipped on a lateral pass and ended the Golden Cougars' chances with two minutes left.

, but Kennedy also hurt itself with several missed chances.

The Pilots were fast enough on defense to keep up with the Golden Cougars, who got 102 yards on 23 carries from Jerome Williams and 82 yards passing from Geery (10 of 17, with two interceptions). Banning was also bolstered by a quick start on offense.

The Golden Cougars reached the Banning 1-yard line in just five plays, then stumbled. Williams was stuffed twice, setting up fourth down from the 1. Geery tried a sneak behind his right guard, but could not reach the goal line.

``How can you do that, three times from six inches away?'' said Kennedy coach Bob Francola, shaking his head. ``You can't do that in the playoffs.''

That's when Banning's stunning 99-yard drive began. With power running by fullback Sal Guerrero (nine carries, 61 yards) and speed from Tuitele, the Pilots wore down the Kennedy defensive front and often outran out·ran

A 27-yard pass from Damian Satete to Jeff Herrera put the Pilots inside the Kennedy 20, and they scored four plays later on a 1-yard Satete sneak.
