STOCKTON RECORD - DIVISION II - No. 7 Beyer 24, No. 10 Stagg 21

Stagg was one play away from a thrilling upset, but Beyer found a way to spoil it.

Delta Kings quarterback Brian Wood gave his team the lead in the final minute and as a safety almost knocked away the game-winning touchdown pass before the seventh-seeded Patriots won 24-21 on Friday in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs in Modesto. Beyer quarterback McKay Marshall threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Cecil Jenkins on the final play of the game.

Stagg (7-4) trailed most of the contest and was down 17-7 after a 27-yard field goal by Patriots kicker Cameron Godfrey early in the fourth quarter. Wood led the No. 10 Delta Kings on two scoring drives to give them the lead.

He threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to his twin brother, Ryan, and scored on a 9-yard run to give Stagg a 21-17 lead with 47 seconds remaining.

Beyer (9-2) drove to the Stagg 5-yard-line and had a fourth down with 6 seconds left, and Marshall tossed to into the end zone and with Brian Wood covering Jenkins.

"That one is really hard to take. Our kids played hard and and came back," Stagg coach Don Norton said. "(Brian Wood) was right there and just missed knocking away the ball by inches. It was that close.".

MODESTO BEE - It's Beyer ... at the wire with playoff-opening thriller

Scores winning TD on game's final play

Cecil Jenkins had dropped a potential game-winning pass moments earlier, but quarterback McKay Marshall didn't flinch when Beyer High called a similar route on its last play.

"Prepare, attack, trust and succeed. It stands for Pats, but it's also our motto," Marshall said. "A big part of that is having trust, and I've got complete trust in Cecil Jenkins."

With nothing but zeroes on the clock, the 6-foot-1 tight end snared a 5-yard pass and fell across the goal line to lift Beyer to a 23-21 win over Stagg to open the Sac-Joaquin Section Division 2 playoffs.

Friday's win is Beyer's first-ever in the section playoffs. It sends the Patriots (9-2) to Elk Grove to face the second-seeded Thundering Herd (11-0).

It looked like Beyer would go on when Cameron Godfrey kicked a 27-yard field for a 17-7 lead with 11:15 to play. Stagg struck for two touchdowns, however, including a 9-yard scramble by Brian Wood for a 21-17 lead with 47 seconds left.

"We came from behind on a few teams this year. It's important to have that confidence," said Jenkins, noting Beyer's comeback wins over Downey and Hilmar. "I wasn't ready for that first pass, but I knew I would catch that second one."

Marshall never doubted it.

"Cecil came over before the play and told me, 'I'm going to give you everything I have,' " said Marshall, whose 10-yard scramble on third-and-1 had moved the ball to the Stagg 8 with 21 seconds left. "If it's coming down to one play, I'll trust Cecil to make it."

It looked like the ball went through the hands of a defender, but Jenkins was not distracted. The two officials stared at one another for an agonizing moment, before throwing up their hands.

It triggered a flood of red and blue, as players and Beyer's fans stormed the field.

Stagg was distraught, just as Beyer had been minutes earlier after allowing Wood to squirm into the end zone.

"We're a fourth quarter team so we're never giving up in a game," said Marshall, 13 of 26 for 166 yards and one interception. "Me and Cecil are seniors. We're not ready for the last game."

Beyer was stunned that it was in a position that it had to rally, considering how it had controlled the first half.

The Patriots were looking to add to a 14-0 lead when they took over on their 34 with 3:11 left in the half, but Marshall's pass downfield was high and safety Ryan Wood grabbed it and returned it to original line of scrimmage.

Beyer paid a steep price for its mistake when Brian Wood hit Wayne Brooks for a 9-yard TD, making it 14-7 a minute before halftime.

That was Stagg's highlight of the half, but it was enough to stay in the game.

The Patriots had driven 76 and 53 yards for their first two TDs. Aden Ruiz scored on a 12-yard counter that caught the defense going the opposite direction, then Marshall had a breathtaking, fourth-down scramble.

Marshall was facing fourth-and-goal at the 13, but had no receivers open downfield. He rolled left and broke tackles at the 6, 4 and 1 before launching himself between two defenders and into the end zone.

"It was all determination. I'm pretty quick and Stagg hadn't seen me run, so they were surprised," said Marshall, whose Patriots tied a 36-year-old school record with their ninth win. "One of the things that changed in the second was Stagg began putting a lot more pressure on, when they realized I could also run the ball."

Marshall carried the offense with his arm because Beyer struggled to find any cracks in Stagg's front eight — the Delta Kings stuck to an eight-man front much of the night. Ruiz and Maury Moore combined for 21 carries and 73 yards, but Moore provided a key play that led to Jenkins' scoring catch.

Moore fielded the kickoff at his 25 and burst up the right side. Only an ankle tackle by the kicker at the Stagg 27 prevented Moore from taking the ball to the end zone — but Jenkins took care of that later on.

STOCKTON RECORD - STAGG 14, EDISON 6 - Delta Kings reign over Vikings

By Scott Niendorf

STOCKTON - Stagg sophomore running back Davon Gillum made the most of his carries on a night that belonged to seniors.

Gillum led the Delta Kings rushing attack with 96 yards on 22 carries to help lift Stagg to a hard-fought 14-6 victory over Edison on Friday in their Tri-City Athletic League finale at Stagg Stadium.

The Delta Kings (7-3, 3-2 TCAL) amassed 234 yards on the ground, with senior quarterback Brian Wood rushing for 77 yards and throwing for a touchdown in the win.

"I couldn't be prouder of our seniors," Stagg coach Don Norton said. "We overcame a lot of adversity and had a lot of players step up for injured players. Edison's team played with a lot of heart against us. They are such a well-coached team."

Edison (3-7, 1-4) and Stagg traded punts early in the game before the Delta Kings pieced together an eight-play, 82-yard drive capped by Wood's 22-yard sideline scamper with 1:50 left in the first quarter. Junior kicker Arody Montoya's extra point gave the Delta Kings a 7-0 lead.

Both Edison and Stagg moved the ball effectively at times but each team's next two drives fizzled out on downs as neither squad generated any offensive rhythm.

Officials flagged the Delta Kings 13 times for 85 yards in the game and the Vikings eight times for 85 yards, much to the frustrations of coaches and fans on both sides of the field.

Just when Stagg's offense had turned the ball over on downs late in the first half, Delta King senior defensive back Ryan Wood stepped in front of a Vikings receiver to intercept Edison senior quarterback Lashawn Jameison's pass at midfield.

After Gillum ran the ball five times in a row for Stagg to move the ball to the Viking 10, Brian Wood softly lofted a touch pass to Ryan Wood, his twin brother, over the middle for the touchdown that led to a 14-0 halftime advantage.

It appeared Edison grabbed the momentum in the second half when senior defensive back Juan Bautista stopped a Stagg drive at midfield by picking off a pass from senior quarterback Joseph Farmer. However, the Vikings coughed up the ball right back with a fumble on the very next play.

Edison managed to make it a one-score game on a 66-yard drive that featured four Jameison passes and five runs by the quarterback, who capped it with a 9-yard scoring run with 5:58 left in the game. Stagg's Kevin Tran timed his rush to block Xavier Cooper's extra point try to leave the score at 14-6.

"We seem to be competitive against everyone we play," Edison coach Andre Horace said. "Our kids work so hard, they just need a break to go their way. I'm so proud of them."

The Delta King's Wayne Brooks appeared to have a 30-yard touchdown on Stagg's next possession, but the score was called back on a penalty.

Safety net for 'Pack

TRACY - If West makes the playoffs this year, the Wolf Pack may have the Hutchins brothers to thank for the trip.

Locked in a tie with visiting Stagg with time running down in the fourth quarter Friday, Delta Kings quarterback Brian Wood dropped back into the end zone and was hit into Denzel Hutchins by Devon Hutchins. The ball popped out, and Devon Hutchins fell on top of the Stagg player who recovered it for what proved to be the winning safety with 18 seconds left in a thrilling 23-21 Tri-City Athletic League win for the Wolf Pack at Steve Lopez Stadium.

"I came in to pursue the quarterback and Denzel knocked him into me," Devon Hutchins said. "And this feels really good."

Despite losing two standouts to injury during the night, the defense stepped up big for West (5-4, 2-1 TCAL) with interceptions by Karlten Dyers, Gabe Miller and Patrick Thompson, and a blocked punt by Tristan Romo.

"Defensively we played really hard," Wolf Pack coach Matt Loggins said. "But we didn't play with Deon Pinder and Elisha Mitchell most of the game so the rest of the defense stepped up and played well."

Before Mitchell was knocked out of the game, he got the Wolf Pack on the scoreboard with a 12-yard run late in the first quarter to tie the game at 7-7. Thompson gave West a 14-7 lead with 1:57 left in the first half on a 20-yard run, and quarterback Bobby Landrum kept it from 6 yards out to tie the game at 21-21 late in the third quarter.

The highlight-reel play of the night was a 90-yard screen pass from Wood to Davon Gillum that gave the Delta Kings (6-3, 2-2) a 21-14 lead midway through the third quarter. Wood was 11 of 22 passing for 165 yards with three interceptions and added a 5-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Wood. Gillum started the night's scoring on an 8-yard run with 5:04 left in the first period.

"This was a tough one to lose," Stagg coach Don Norton said. "You have to hand it to West. They hung in there and played well tonight - it was a good job on their part."

St. Mary's feasts on Delta Kings turnovers

STOCKTON - St. Mary's football coach Tony Franks gave his offense mixed reviews but had high praise for his defense after the Rams stuffed Stagg's running game and recorded six interceptions in a 41-20 victory Friday at Sanguinetti Field.

In a battle of teams that were previously unbeaten in Tri-City Athletic League play, junior safety Na'im McGee had three interceptions and the Rams (6-2, 3-0 TCAL) held the Delta Kings (6-2, 2-1) to 119 total yards. Three Stagg quarterbacks combined to complete 12 of 30 passes for 150 yards, and seven ball carriers combined for minus-31 yards on 25 carries.

"I like the way they were playing up front," Franks said. "The guys were playing with some intensity. They had their knees bent and their backs flat, and they were doing exactly what you want them to do."

The Delta Kings had just 42 yards before completing two long pass plays in the final minute of the first half. They failed to gain yardage on 14 of 25 rushing attempts.

Senior running back Maurice Boyd entered the game with 540 rushing yards and an average of 6.5 yards per carry, but he had only five carries for positive yards. Boyd was charged for 36 yards in losses after recovering two errant snaps and finished with minus-15 yards on 10 carries.

"They're good, but they can be beat," Boyd said. "They're not unbeatable, and if we see them in the playoffs it'll be a different score."

St. Mary's had 297 yards total offense. Sophomore quarterback Kaleb Parrish completed 7 of 14 passes for 146 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He had a 39-yard touchdown pass to Giovanni Brusa and a 20-yard scoring strike to William Mafi, who had two catches for 68 yards.

Senior running back Jalen Ward rushed for 83 yards on 30 carries and scored on a 3-yard run in the second quarter. Sophomore Bryan Pasqual carried six times for 49 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown run in the fourth.

"Our offense wasn't really on point tonight, but our defense did great," Ward said.

The Rams recorded a safety on Stagg's opening drive, and Nathaniel Thompson scored on a 30-yard interception return.

"Turnovers are huge, and you can see the effect they have on the game," Franks said. "That was a nice effort by our defense."

Kings of the fast start

STOCKTON - It was a rare night without fourth quarter suspense for the Stagg High football team.

Senior running back Maurice Boyd snapped a season-long trend of victories decided late in the game with a career night rushing against Tokay, and Stagg romped the Tigers 55-21 at home following a 20-19 win in the final minutes against McNair last week and a 26-20 win over Bear Creek in overtime the week before that.

Boyd rushed 10 times for 174 yards, including four first-half touchdowns as the Delta Kings went into halftime leading 35-14.

Stagg (6-1, 2-0 Tri-City Athletic League) had outscored opponents 106-92 on the season and scored just 20 points in the first quarter of its first six contests.

"We started and we finished today," Boyd said. "We came out in the first quarter and we were ready to go."

Boyd scored his first touchdown on his first carry of the night to cap Stagg's opening drive. He outran the Tigers (2-5, 0-2) outside for a 41-yard score, which Tokay quickly answered.

The Tigers kept their ensuring drive alive with a fake punt that set up a 33-yard rushing touchdown by Joey Silva, who made the score 7-7 by breaking tackles on a run up the middle.

Stagg then put the game away with four unanswered touchdowns, including runs by Boyd of 60, 43 and 26 yards. On each score, Tokay had defenders in the secondary with a solid tackling angles, but Boyd outran them.

"The blocking was there from the offensive line and the receivers," Boyd said. "This is the kind of game I've been waiting for."

Stagg quarterback Brian Wood connected with Ryan Wood for a pair of touchdowns in the first 2 minutes, 6 seconds of the third quarter. Brian Wood completed 6-of-8 passes for 196 yards, while Ryan caught three passes for 110 yards.

Silva led Tokay rushing with eight carries for 37 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, Tokay's leading receiver Ryan Rosero faced multiple coverage most the night, but managed 10 catches for 128 yards.

Stagg and St. Mary's are now tied for first place in TCAL and play each other at 7:15 p.m. Friday at St. Mary's.

"We've been talking about (facing St. Mary's) since January," Stagg coach Don Norton said. "We set ourselves up for this and now we have to take the next step."
