D-C 25. An interference penalty on the next play took the ball to the 12, and D-C coach Jack Houtz rushed . out on the field to protest the 1 call, drawing another penalty.Moccia rammed over ifrom the 6 and added a two-point ( conversion to tie the game.Sun Valley drove to the D-C 15 , early in the second quarter, but Randy Owsley’s 32-yard field goal fell short. On' Darby-Colwyn’s first play, Hank DiFabio pounced on a fumbled handoff at the 18./ Moccia went in motion, flared out of the backfield and was DARBY-COLWYN ENDS—Thomas, McGonigal, H1U TACKLES-P (richer, Zemell, K.

Darby-Celwyn, which had early success with a shotgun formation, went back to the T-fonnation but did not move the ball;GOALLINE STAND The Rams’ defense, spearheaded by Phil Bonini and Frank Hauser, stacked up Sun Valley at the goal line after the Vanguards came.up with a ist-and-gqal at the D-C 5.Paehuta, who, was getting frustrated after being popped by linebackers as he came* off the line of scrimmage on every down, went to work late in the third quarter.He fielded a punt at midfteld and broke free to the D.C 3G. On first down, Nuyannes un-derthrew him, but he raced several yards back toward the line for the ball and got to the D-C14.After Moccia picked up three yards and a Nuyannes pass fell incomplete, Paehuta took thebah on a double reverse, picked up a bone-crunching block from Nicti Miron and dashed into the end zone. .Sun Valley stopped D-C on three plays again, but the Rams got the ball right back when Mike Dougherty’s punt- hit off the SV deep man and was recovered by Robert Altieri at theSunVal!ey22,Alter Guy slipped and fell for a 16-yard loss trying to avoid the pass rush and Altieri threw an. mcompletioh, Paehuta picked off an Altieri pass at.theSun Valley 28,cut down the right sideline, picking' up blockers, and .was off on a quick TD jaunt, “ThCre’s no doubt we were looking right past them (Darbv-Colwynj to Chichester,” Fithian said, referring to. the Thanksgiving Day game that will decide the Section Two championship.“They deserve some credit, he added.So‘does'Paul Paehuta, who' picked himself up off the ground on more than one occasion and finally had the last laugh.
