The score remained the same until the second half got underway.In the third quarter, Alderwood squared the contest at 6-6 on a 64-yard touchdown pass from Jaime Sambrano to Brandon Coleman.

"Brandon charged in and got the sack."Offensively for Alderwood, playing on its home field last night, B.J. Miller led all rushers in the game with 139 yards on 24 carries.Monday's victory upped the Alderwood JV's record on the year to 2-4-1.
