 1999 Game Summaries
Scrimmage: The Brown and Orange Game

Julius Roberts rushed the ball for 95 yards and passed for 30 yards, while scoring the Lancers first score of the
year on a 45 yard run..  Hector Bernal made the most of his action at tailback, rushing for 106 yards on 6 carries,
while scoring on a great run.  Ben Roman scored the other touchdown on a short pass. Defensively the Lancers
totally shut down Manual Arts, allowing them almost no scoring possibilities.  Shawn Huntsinger and Gabe Stasilli
lead the defense with 2 sacks each, Hector Bernal anchored down the linebackers while Ben Roman held the
secondary. Next up for the Lancers, a power Franklin Panther team, who beat Huntington Park High by the score

sophomores Shawn Huntsinger with 7 tackles, Ben Roman, 5 tackles and 4 assists, and  Hector Bernal with 4
tackles and 4 assists.  The Lancers must continue to improve the passing game, which was ineffective again, the
offensive line and quarterbacks will fight to improve this week.  The Lancers next Friday will face the Regents of
Reseda, who were dropped by Canoga Park.
 
 

Game 5: Reseda

Unfortunately another loss for the Lancers, who dropped to 1-4 after a 32-6 loss to the Regents of Reseda. The
Lancers were again hurt by turnovers and penalties, the Lancers had 7 in the first half alone.  The young Grant
squad was lead by quarterback Julius Roberts and Linebacker/Receiver Ben Roman.  Roberts had 125 yards and 1
touchdown in the air. Roman had 5 tackles and 3 assists along with a touchdown catch on 4 catches.  The Lancers
definitely improved the passing game, although still have a long way to go.  Grant will face rival North Hollywood at
North Hollywood this week...BEAT THOSE HUSKIES!!!!!!
 
 

Game 6: North Hollywood

    The Lancers opened up Sunset 6 league play friday afternoon with a 35-15 loss to the Huskies of North
Hollywood.  The Lancers game out roaring, with the first possession taking down to the 15 yard line, but were left
empty, until the their second possession, when scrabbling quarterback Julius Roberts hit Hector Bernal for a 25
yard touchdown strike. The Lancers went into Half-time down 12-7, after making some miscues, but held tough.
The second half was a different story for the Lancers, giving up 23 points.  The Lancer did not come away without
some good performances, Linebacker Ben Roman, in only his second start after leading the secondary at safety,
had 13 solo tackles. Hector Bernal had 8 tackles and had 2 assists, and Shawn Huntsinger followed with 6 solo tackles and 1 assist. Offensively Hector Bernal had 78 yards on 15 carries and 2 touchdowns, Julius Roberts had 45 yards rushing, and 102 yards passing along with one touchdown pass to Bernal. The Lancers will have to work this week on cutting down on miscues and penalties,  which lead to stopping key drives and scoring opportunities. The Lancers will also have to work on
special teams. Next up for the Lancers, the Dons of Verdugo Hills, finally at home after 4 games away.
 

Game 7: Verdugo Hills

    The Lancers suffered another defeat, this time to the Dons of Verdugo Hills, who came onto the Lancer field with a
5-1 record. The Lancers fought courageously in the first half only down 10-6, but could not hold on and were
defeated 32-12. The Lancers were lead by an outstanding performance by Julius Roberts who accounted for over
200 yards total offense. Remy Salvador and Ben Roman also had a solid game. Remy caught a touchdown pass and
Roman anchored the Defense throughout.
 

Game 8: Canoga Park

    A heartbreak of a game for the Lancers, who tied the Hunters of Canoga Park 20-20 at home on thursday. The
Lancers had many opportunities to put the game away, but were unable. The Lancers improved in most facets of
the game, especially defense, were the Lancers held the Hunters in check for a majority of the game. The defense
was lead by Ben Roman, Chris Vasquez, along with Shawn Huntsinger and Israel Salas. The offense was lead again
by quarterback Julius Roberts and running back Hector Bernal , along with receivers Ben Roman and Remy
Salvador. Roberts scored on the ground and through the air by way of Salvador. Hector Bernal scored  a defensive
touchdown to give the Lancers 20 points. The Lancers next face The Sheiks of Hollywood High for Homecoming.
 

Game 9: Hollywood (Homecoming)

    The Lancers were defeated once again by a scrappy Hollywood team, 24-14 at Valley College. The Lancers had
many scoring opportunities, but were unable to connect. The Lancers were confused and frustrated by the Sheiks
who continuously moved the ball in key situation and using generally the same play again and again. The Lancers
defense will have nightmares about the double screen, which the Lancers were unable to defend. The Lancers were
also haunted on offense by penalties, the Lancers had 5 alone in the first quarter giving up two touchdowns in the
process. The inexperience for the Lancers again struck them right before the half as the Sheiks scored late to give
them an 18-14 advantage, when the kickoff was returned all the way to the 5 yard line, and subsequently punched in
for 6. On a positive note, the Lancers were lead by sophomore sensations Julius Roberts and Hector
Bernal, who combined to rush for over 250 yards. Shifty Roberts, shake and baked for 98 yards on 9 carries and
Bernal had 168 yards and 15 carries.  The offense had over 400 yards total for the game. The tandem will be a very
exciting addition to next years varsity squad who won 48-7 lead by 3 Juniors Perry Clayton, Matt Carter and
Alfonso Estrada.  Defensively for the Lancers, Ben Roman lead the Charge with 8 solo tackles, while Shawn
Huntsinger pressured the quarterback all game long..

Game 10: Poly

    The game was canceled due to the fact that asbestos was found in the gymnasium area, it was unfortunate for the Lancers, who had a great practice week.

Season Summary:

    The Frosh/Soph season finished with the Lancers coming in last place in Sunset Six conference. Verdugo Hills was in first place, with North Hollywood, Canoga and Poly tied for third, Hollywood then Grant finishing in the 6 teams.  As for Grant representing on the all conference team,  Julius  Roberts was named first team quarterback, Hector Bernal was named second team Running Back, Ben Roman first team punter, Apolinar Sanchez first team Kicker. Hector lead the team in rushing, with 800 yards, Julius was second with 500 rushing.

On the defensive side of the ball, Ben Lead the team in tackles with 42 solo tackles, and Hector followed with 29 solo tackles.  Next years squad figures to be very competitive with 27 returning players, it will be a very exciting and interesting off season.
 
 

Varsity Summary:

    A young Varsity squad suffered a disappointing season going 1-8 finishing in 5th place in the inaugural season of the Sunset Six league but finished the season trounsing on Hollywood High 48-0 at Homecoming. Throughout the season, the Lancers were lead by Matt Carter, Perry Clayton, George Kervorkian and Alfonso Estrada. Next year should be a break out year with many players returning including: Matt Carter, Perry Clayton, Alfonso Estrada, Anthony Smith, Nick Isaak and Eric Szubuta. Good Luck in 2000!
