SOUTH CENTRAL HOLDS OFF GRIZZLIES
SOUTH CENTRAL 12, PHOENIX GRIZZLIES 6
Whittier's Tyler Brown scored on an 85 yard pass play to put the Grizzlies within reach but it was too much to late. South Central running backs Mike Ramirez and Destination Salazar both had multiple 50 yard runs and over 100 total each as South Centrals ball-control offense and effective offensive line play, led by Matt Caldwell was the difference between the two teams.
But it was a small difference as East's linemen, most not as big, did a great job against their bigger opponents, paving the way for their running game, which as nearly as effective.
Both teams, made up of students mostly from the central Phoenix corridors, played very well defensively but the Grizzlies gained an advantage when two later arrivals exposed the edge they had in the passing game. doubling at linebacker, Brown also had jarring hits on defense.
