Byline: Lee Barnathan Daily News Staff Writer

We've seen this before: Kevin Carrasco leading College of the Canyons College of the Canyons is one of the fastest-growing community colleges in the state. According to the National Junior College Research Association, College of the Canyons consistently ranks in the top 50 community colleges in the nation.  to a fourth-quarter comeback victory.

It has happened twice, and Carrasco appeared ready to do it again Saturday night against East Los Angeles East Los Angeles, uninc. city (1990 pop. 126,379), Los Angeles co., S Calif., a residential suburb of Los Angeles, in an industrial area. It has a large Mexican-American population. There is a performing arts center and a cultural center. A junior college is there. . But to do it, overtime was needed, as the teams were tied 34-34 after regulation in a Western State Conference interdivisional victory before an estimated crowd of 1,500.

Carrasco started the last drive of regulation with about 4-1/2 minutes remaining and drove the Cougars 60 yards to the Husky (2-1) 1-yard line before the East L.A. defense held. Jason Parks and Sean Cogswell were stopped, and on fourth down, Alexis Olquin stuffed Parks for a 6-yard loss with 1:24 to play.

With 44 seconds left, East L.A. took a safety, and Canyons had the ball on its 30-yard line. Carrasco completed a 25-yard pass to the East L.A. 45, then threw incomplete twice before the Huskies were called for a face mask Face mask

Carrasco completed two passes to Brian Pritchett, and Heloyt Cervantes kicked a 28-yard field goal with three seconds left.

East L.A. overcame a 29-21 deficit by exposing the defensive secondary. Fernanado Delgadillo threw TD passes to Kendall Good and Glenn Gates to take a 34-29 lead.

Carrasco guided the Cougars in the second quarter with two touchdown passes. And he did it as cool as he could.
