SOUTHERN SECTION ROUNDUP: LOYOLA RALLIES TO BEAT A.V.

Byline: Daily News

Trailing at halftime and in danger of having its 11-game winning streak snapped, Loyola of Los Angeles scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to defeat Antelope Valley 34-9 Friday night at Pierce College.

Quarterback Casey Frost rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another as Loyola (4-0) ran its season points advantage to 147-16 going into next week's game against Hart of Newhall.

Loyola's four second-half touchdown drives covered just 104 yards combined. Matt Appenfelder began the second half with a 56-yard kickoff return to set up Frost's first touchdown. An interception by Ramon Estrada and a fumble recovery by Hamilton Augustine led to Frost's next two touchdown runs. Loyola capped the scoring two plays after a poor Antelope Valley punt snap on Frost's 8-yard touchdown pass to Appenfelder with 10:19 remaining.

Andre Crenshaw rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown for Antelope Valley (1-2-1) in the first half, but sprained his ankle just before halftime and did not return.

Antelope Valley scored twice in the first half, both times taking advantage of mishandled special-teams play by Loyola. In the first quarter, Loyola forced a punt, but the bouncing ball hit a Loyola blocker, and Allen Mohan recovered at the Loyola 18 to set up Brett Lloyd's 32-yard field goal.
