Jacob Roa has seen both sides of the Lincoln-San Marcos rivalry.<\/p>\n
Last season, Roa wore Lincoln green as the Hornets bested San Marcos 44-25 in the San Diego Section playoffs.<\/p>\n
Friday, he was in San Marcos blue and gray, passing for 166 yards as the Knights, ranked No. 8 in San Diego, edged Lincoln 7-6.<\/p>\n
\u201cJordan was a little amped,\u201d said San Marcos coach Tom Carroll.<\/p>\n
The senior completed 14 of 27 passes for 166 yards and a 12-yard touchdown strike to Ezekiel McIntyre.<\/p>\n
There were seven completions of 10 yards or more, including 25 yards to Kael Elizado and 38 yards to Sean Green.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis game was personal,\u201d Roa said after Friday\u2019s game as Lincoln players like Seth Fanu and Jesus Jimenez came over to give him a hug. \u201cIt meant a lot. I still have a lot of friends on that team. That\u2019s why winning meant so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Knights, who are 4-1 and ranked No. 56 in the state, took the opening kickoff and drove to the Lincoln 6. But a fourth-down pass into the end zone was incomplete.<\/p>\n
A second-quarter drive to the Lincoln 4 ended in a missed 21-yard field goal.<\/p>\n
In the fourth quarter, after Lincoln had scored to make it 7-6, San Marcos drove to the Lincoln 1 with Roa hitting Green for gains of 12 and 38 yards, only to lose a fumble.<\/p>\n
The defense did its job as brothers Ezekiel and Xzavier McIntyre intercepted passes, Xzavier\u2019s was at the San Marcos 17 with 23 seconds to play.<\/p>\n
And Lincoln, which is now 1-5 for the first time since 2013, shot itself in the foot.<\/p>\n
A celebration penalty after its touchdown made the tying PAT try a 45-yarder. It was short.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t throw to Sean Green much, but I trust him to make a big catch,\u201d Roa said. \u201cI told him to be alert because I had a feeling I\u2019d find him.<\/p>\n
\u201cBottom line, we beat a good Lincoln team. We made a statement. And we could make some noise in the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n
