Football Playoffs 2015 - Update 1 (Corrected)

The Braves-Bearcats match-up [Story] was one of 'best' contests in the 1st round of the CIF-SS Ford Championships. KPEG announcer Greg Ratcliffe was just a bit tense in the 2nd half, especially when reference was made to the 2002 1st rounder between Lompoc and a Chauncey Washington led South Torrance Spartan squad. 

Washington (6-1, 210, Sr) had 25 carries for 335 yards and 4TDs along with 3 receptions for another 100 yards and two scores that evening, but facing a 2-point conversion to tie the game with just over 3 minutes remaining the Spartans elected to attempt a pass to someone else. It was broken up, and Lompoc held on to win 42-40 en route to the 1st of back-to-back Northwestern Division X Championships. 

The cause of such recollections was an outstanding 1st half performance by Paso Robles RB Christian Erickson (6-0, 215) The junior had 196 yards rushing on 15 carries in the 1st half despite dealing with a heavily taped hand that was injured 3 weeks ago. 

The Braves slowed him a bit after the break (37-329, 3TD Total). However, when the Bearcats scored with 5:03 left in the 4th to narrow the margin to a single point (35-34), no-one was surprised that the Paso staff elected to go for two, but many were shocked that they tried to throw the ball instead of giving it to Erickson. The pass was caught, but stopped short of the end zone. 

The game ended with the Braves deep in Bearcat territory still nursing a 1 point lead, after a Paso Robles fumble.

Neither team completed a pass in the 1st half - Lompoc attempted none, and the lone Bearcat effort was a Hail Mary attempt on the final play of the session that was intercepted by Michael Taylor - leaving the game knotted at 21 apiece.

The Braves running game was equally as potent, led by the triumvirate of Torey Sims (18-204, 2 TD), Toa Taua (19-140, 2TD), and Chris Green. Green had been a game-time decision due to a shoulder injury. Sims tweaked his ankle again, but stayed in the game despite limping around for a few plays.
