SBVC went into the fourth quarter leading, 21-6, only to tack on 21 more points, in a 42-14 wipeout of the Compton Tartars. The win gives SBVC back-to-back Conference wins for the first time since week 4 and 5 of the 2007 season.

SBVC dominated the line, creating holes for freshman running back Kristin James (San Bernardino H.S.) to dart through 28 times for 163 yards and 3 touchdowns. Freshman quarterback Roman Neville (Box Elder, UT) went 15 for 21 with 2 touchdowns, as SBVC kept the ball on the ground most of the game.

SBVC opened the scoring with 2:26 left in the first quarter with a 13 yard touchdown pass from Neville to sophomore wide receiver Marcus Williams. Seven minutes later, SBVC struck again, going 68 yards in 11 plays, concluding on a 7 yard touchdown run from James.

Compton took the opening kick off in the second half and marched down the field, going 65 yards in 15 plays, with freshman running back Donald Malone (Gardena H.S.) diving into the end zone from 4 yards out.

Then the flood gates opened, SBVC preceded to score 21 unanswered points. With 5:39 left in the third quarter, SBVC drove 64 yards in 5 plays, setting up a 1 yard touchdown from James. In the fourth quarter, Neville tossed a 15 yard touchdown to freshman tight end Curtis Cummings III (Perris H.S.), going 95 yards in 4 plays, which included a 66 yard run by sophomore running back Ronnie Yarber (Moreno Valley).

With 11:59 left in the game, James darted in from 29 yards out to put the score at, 35-6; seven minutes later Compton scored on a 48 yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Shawn McKnight (Los Angeles Verbum Dei) to freshman wide receiver Joseph Williams (Los Angeles Fremont).

SBVC wrapped up the game as the game clock ran out, when sophomore defensive back Dexter Fowler (Victorville Silverado) intercepted an errant Compton pass and blasted 94 yards down the sidelines for a touchdown.

SBVC had 10 penalties for 124 yards, converted on all of their extra point opportunities, and had few mistakes on special teams.
