Lightning JV Defeats Upland Christian 48-26!
The Lightning JV football team (7-0), traveled to Upland, CA to take on the Upland Christian Eagles Monday afternoon.

Then at the 1:46 mark Sophomore QB Derek Brogdon hit Freshman David Manley through the air on a 9 yard TD catch making the score 12-0. The 2-pt conversion failed again. The Eagles offense had been stopped up to the .26 mark in the first quarter when the Eagles scored on a 43 yd TD run from scrimmage making the score 12-6.
The 2nd Quarter was a defensive battle on both sides until the Lightning scored with .40 left in the first half on another 1 yd run by Roberts to make the score 18-6.
The Lightning got surprised when the opening kick off in the 2nd half was ran back for a TD by the Eagles making the score 18-12. The Lightning answered by marching down the field and scoring on a 2 yd run by sophomore Jon Krapivkin making the score 26-12 after the 2-pt conversion was made by sophomore Alex Carter. The Eagles then answered with a 37 yard TD pass making the score 26-18.
The Lightning struck again at the 4:31 mark of the fourth quarter when Roberts ran a 2 yd TD sweep making the score 34-18, Roberts also made the 2-pt conversion. The Lightning kicked the ball off only to have the Eagles run it back for another TD making the score 34-26 after a successful 2-pt conversion. The Lightning got the ball and scored on a 33 yard pass play to Carter from Brogdon making the score 40-26. The Lightning scored the final TD on a 28 yd run by Carter making the score 48-26.
