HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL / CITY SECTION : ROUNDUP : VALLEY PAC-8 CONFERENCE

Birmingham 22, Van Nuys 21--Quarterback Vince Lampkin won the game for the host Braves in dramatic fashion.

With Birmingham trailing, 21-14, early in the fourth quarter, the senior quarterback threw a 91-yard bomb to Patrick Abdelkerim. Lampkin then ran for the game-winning two-point conversion.

Lampkin completed five of 18 passes for 141 yards with two touchdown passes and had one touchdown rushing.

Van Nuys (1-2, 0-1) opened the scoring with an 18-yard pass from Bill Calhoun to receiver Patric Alvarado, capping a 10-play drive that included a 47-yard run for an apparent score by Harold Boudreaux. The run was nullified by penalty. Boudreaux lead all runners with 155 yards in 26 carries.

Birmingham trailed, 7-0, at the half before Lampkin tied the score with a 19-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

But Van Nuys struck for two touchdowns just eight seconds apart to take a 21-7 lead after three quarters. Calhoun, who was eight of 17 for 140 and two touchdowns, threw a 39-yard scoring pass to Garreth Lesley. On the first play after the ensuing kickoff, Lampkin fumbled at the Braves’ 30-yard line, and Gary Guemiksizian returned the ball for a touchdown.

Birmingham cut the lead to 21-14 four seconds into the fourth quarter when Lampkin connected with Mike Moguel on a 20-yard scoring pass.
