The Lions tournament title journey got underway on Friday with two victories.

Sparked by three receiving touchdowns by freshman wide receiver Sterling Flores, JSerra defeated Mission Viejo 39-0.

That set up a battle with undefeated Carlsbad in the title game, who edged Classical Academy High School 7-6 in the semifinals.

Meier found junior Kai Beary on a 14-yard scoring pass with just under seven minutes remaining in the first half to help give the Lions a 7-0 lead.

Irwin produced a highlight grab later in the half, as she leaped high and snatched a 22-yard scoring pass from Meier to increase the Lions’ advantage to 13-0.

Junior Stella Day provided the team’s defensive spark with two big first half interceptions, while Irwin added another on the final play of the half.

The Lions completed the scoring in the second half, when Meier completed a short pass to Szczuka, who found an open seam and raced through the Lancers defense for a 61-yard touchdown.

JSerra, which improved to 7-0 on the season, outscored its’ tournament opposition by a cumulative score of 116-18.
