The 10U Sophomore Panthers win the AAU Super Bowl against the Nation Titans.
BIG SUPERBOWL WIN, for the Rancho Panthers 10u Sophomore Team as they defeated the Nation Titans on Saturday Dec 6th, 2014, at San Bernardino Valley College by a score of 18-6.
The Panthers scored on their 2nd drive of the game as they marched 70 yards down the field and punched the ball in the end zone.
Hard running by Cade Moran and Quinn Korinek and precision offensive line play by Dylan “Diesel” McDermott, Isaiah Amantine and anchored by Center Jack Pedersen, softened the defense up the middle and the Panthers were able to capitalize with several nice passes by Quarterback, Luke Bennett to his receivers.

That’s a big compliment coming from Pedersen given some of the teams he played on at Nebraska. A Huge congratulations goes out to the Rancho Panthers on their Championship Win !
