The last time Carson played San Pedro they were shut out 21-0 and leaving questions marks on rather or not if Carson  is truly a city title contender. Well that question was answer as they defeated  San Pedro 24-19 with the defense leading the way. With better preparation the offensive and defensive plan came into play. Keep Kevin Potter from running wild and making plays on offensive. Carson's defense also made sure that they wouldn't let San Pedro's Darrell Santiago and Gregory Thomas roam free.

This game had the signs that Carson would bend and not break as they took into half time and 10-9 lead. This game was looking like who would have the ball last might win the game tonight. In the third quarter San Pedro took a 12-10 lead after  Christian Gonzales kicked a 32 yard field goal.  Carson's Rogers Jones responded with a touch down run  and Carson regain the lead 17-12 in the fourth quarter.

Moments later Roger Jones broke free and scored on his second touchdown of the night and push Carson lead to 24-12 and the Carson fans went wild as they could smell victory in the air tonight.  San Pedro still had one more bullet left in their gun and used it when Potter found Dominic Camacho deep in the end zone for a touchdown and now the score was 24-19 Carson.
