Its name derives from its crescent-like shape, with the convex portion facing roughly northeast and the concave portion southwest. had all kinds of trouble with La Canada's wing-T offense Friday night, and it sometimes seemed the No. 8-ranked Falcons had as many problems when they had possession. But they played well enough - thanks to big plays by Scott Vossmeyer, Wes Jones, Steve Carballo and Jason Hogan hogan Dwelling of the Navajo Indians of Arizona and New Mexico.

Jones rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns and Vossmeyer completed 13 of 26 passes for 205 yards. Carballo turned in the catch of the game - a leaping 31-yard reception to set up his team's second TD in final seconds of the first half - two plays after Hogan had intercepted a tipped pass at the La Canada 40. It was enough to offset three turnovers and penalties that cancelled two touchdowns, including an apparent 65-yard punt-return score by Jones. ``We're supposed to be a good football team and good football teams sometimes don't play well and find ways to win - we did that tonight,'' said Crescenta Valley coach Alan Eberhart. La Canada (1-3) got a game-high 126-yard rushing effort from Chet Johnson-Blasucci, who scored his team's only touchdown on a 1-yard double-reverse that epitomized the trouble Crescenta Valley had locating the football in the Spartans' wing-T attack.

It wasn't enough to secure a win against the favored Falcons, but the effort by the Spartans left La Canada coach Rich Wheeler happy. ``We don't look at this as a loss,'' Wheeler said. ``We played a tough team tough.''
