    Serra edges St. Francis in overtime

    Serra, which once lost 34 straight games to West Catholic Athletic League rival St. Francis, pulled out one of the better games in league history with a 41-40 overtime thriller over The Chronicle’s No. 2 team Saturday in San Mateo.

    Leki Nunn, the reigning WCAL Player of the Year who accounted for 380 yards and six touchdowns, completed an 8-yard two-point conversion pass to Shane Villaroman to set off a wild celebration.

    A 1-yard TD plunge from sophomore Opeti Fangupo closed the gap to 33-30, but a 36-yard field-goal attempt by teammate Matt Keeth missed with 2:02 to go.

    The Lancers got the ball back one more time and drove down to set up a potential game-tying 47-yard field goal by Keeth with three seconds left.

    Serra was flagged 15 yards and after another offside penalty, Keeth narrowly made a 26-yard field goal, sending the game into overtime.

    Javon Sturns rushed 12 times for 125 yards and two scores and Miles Kendrick completed 6 of 8 passes for 165 yards and three touchdowns — all to Anthony Flores (four catches, 152 yards), lifting the Warriors (6-0, 3-0) to the WCAL victory at City College of San Francisco.

    Senior quarterback Phillip Tran ran in from 39 yards out leading visiting Mitty (4-2, 2-1) to a 23-0 lead en route to the convincing win over St. Ignatius (3-3, 1-2), which got six catches and two TDs from Richard McDonough.

    Hunter Juarez returned two interceptions for touchdowns, leading No. 18 Marin Catholic-Kentfield (5-2, 4-0 Marin County Athletic League) to a 56-0 win at Terra Linda-San Rafael (2-4, 1-3).
