On Saturday, Sept. 22 City College quarterback Ronald Beverly led the Panthers to victory over the Reedley Tigers 27-20, improving their record to 2-2 for the season.
Early in the first quarter Tigers’ kicker Dennis Gallo kicked a 31-yard field goal to put the Tigers up 3-0, but their lead wouldn’t hold through the quarter.
With two minutes left in the first quarter Beverly threw a 21-yard pass to wide receiver EJ Jones, followed by a successful field goal by Aaron Novoa, to put the Panthers on top where they would stay until half way through the fourth quarter.
Going into the fourth quarter the Panthers were up 20-13, until Tigers’ quarterback Sean Stell Jr. landed a 27-yard pass to wide receiver Terrance Tatume for a touchdown. Gallo’s successful field goal for the extra point would tie the game, but the Panthers were far from done.
The Panthers fought back and with a little over four minutes left in the game Beverly launched a 33-yard pass to Jones, clinching the win.
