FULLERTON — McClymonds’ quest for its fifth state title in 10 years fell short on Saturday night.

Kennedy-Delano’s heavy ground attack proved too much for the West Oakland school as the Thunderbirds won 42-25 to capture the Division 3-A title at Fullerton Union High School District Stadium.

Kennedy’s Wing-T offense proved lethal as running back/defensive end Jace Demacabalin dominated the show.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound senior ran for five touchdowns and had four sacks to lead the Central Valley school.

The Thunderbirds didn’t pass one time in the first half and rushed to the tune of 209 yards and three touchdowns.

Meanwhile, the Warriors struggled to find a rhythm despite stringing together long, dominant drives. Kennedy sacked quarterback Berell Staples three times.
