Southlands Christian struck back with a 65-yard pass play on the next series to cut the lead to 7-6.

A running clock was used for the entire second half after the Eagles had taken care of business and put the game away in the first half.

Rome Demongin scored from 12 yards out and had a 15 yard pick six on defense along with another rushing touchdown to lead the scoring onslaught for the CVC Eagles.
Tyler Henry completed 7 of 8 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns (with no interceptions), as he connected with Dylen Roberts on a 33 yard touchdown and with Simeon Marton on a 29 yard TD,.
Freshman Nathan Boyce also had a 5 yard touchdown and Pablo Moser was 5 of 5 on his extra point attempts for CVC.
The Eagles are on the road again next week as they open up San Joaquin league play vs. Webb of Claremont (4 -3) in a rare Saturday afternoon 1 p.m. game.
