Six plays later, Matt Albright hit Barganier for a nine-yard touchdown strike with less than a minute to play in the first half. Jajuan Lankford ran it in on the two-point conversion to give Hancock an 8-0 lead into halftime.
San Bernardino was driving in the third quarter and inside Hancock territory when Anthony Miller forced Williams to fumble the ball and recovered it at the Hancock 29-yard line with 11 minutes to play in the third quarter. Ten plays later, Lankford ran it into the endzone from nine yards out for a touchdown. The Bulldogs went for two and converted as Albright hit Kevin Stark to give Hancock a 16-0 lead with 6:28 to play in the third quarter.
