El Dorado 26, La Habra 25

Nick Zehner ran for two touchdowns to help the Golden Hawks overcome an 18-point deficit at La Habra High.

Zehner scored on runs of 40 and three yards in the fourth quarter, the latter giving the Golden Hawks their final margin of victory with 8:41 to go.

El Dorado took a 7-0 lead on a 75-yard interception return by P.J. McNiff.

But La Habra went to work after that. The Highlanders built a 25-7 lead on the strength of a solid rushing attack that was led by Josh Herrera and Brent West.

West, who ran for 69 yards in 10 carries, started the comeback for La Habra by scoring four seconds into the second quarter from one yard, capping a 65-yard drive.

Herrera, who ran for 76 yards in 19 carries, scored the next three touchdowns, one of them a 63-yard punt return with 7:31 left in the half.

But El Dorado quarterback Brian Zurhellen threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Jake Jones to start the Golden Hawk rally with 2:20 left before halftime.
