Verdugo Hills 30, Hollywood 6--Verdugo Hills’ special teams and defense set up 3 touchdowns in the first half as the Dons beat Hollywood at home for their second consecutive win.

Koons scored on a 6-yard run 4 plays after Ryan Paskwietz intercepted a Hollywood pass. Koons rushed for 57 yards in 7 carries and scored twice.
Lineman Kevin Shaffer’s blocked punt led to Kevin Golding’s second-period touchdown, a 15-yard pass reception from quarterback Luis Rodriguez, to give the Dons a 23-0 halftime lead.
Bob Yerby’s 4-yard run in the third quarter completed the Dons’ scoring.
Hollywood’s only completion came on the game’s final play, a 25-yard scoring strike from Ed Jones to Michael Justin.
