All season, Maranatha has been undersized and injured.<\/p>\n

Still, coach Steve Bogan’s team never quits.<\/p>\n

Friday’s perseverance was classic Bogan style as the Minutemen held on to a 35-34 victory in Olympic League play, and despite 3 fourth-quarter touchdowns by Heritage Christian.<\/p>\n

Luke Ramos’ 39-yard TD run got the Warriors to within 35-34 in the last minute of the game.<\/p>\n

Heritage Christian (5-3, 1-1) was surely going to kick the extra-point and head into over time, right?<\/p>\n

Nope.<\/p>\n

The Warriors decided to go for the 2-point attempt and the win.<\/p>\n

But the Minutemen defense held Heritage Christian quarterback Jason Parraz from being able to sneak the ball into the end zone, and held on for a huge win.<\/p>\n

The drama wasn’t over yet at the time, though.<\/p>\n

Heritage Christian recovered its own onside kick with 26 seconds to play.<\/p>\n

After a couple plays with positive yardage, Lucca Kolberg’s 55-yard attempt came up short and Bogan and Maranatha could finally exhale.<\/p>\n

Maranatha quarterback Kwon Peterson had his best game of the season.<\/p>\n

The dual-threat QB finished 13 of 15 for 296 yards and threw a pair of touchdown passes.<\/p>\n

Luke Ramos and Brandon Sanchez both broke the 100-yard rushing mark from the Heritage Christian backfield.<\/p>\n

Mason Swinnie had a 35-yard rushing TD for Maranatha (3-4-1, 1-2).<\/p>\n

Olympic League Standings:<\/strong>
\nValley Christian (6-2 overall, 2-0 in league)
\nVillage Christian (6-2, 1-1)
\nHeritage Christian (5-3, 1-1)
\nWhittier Christian (5-4, 1-2)
\nMaranatha (3-4-1, 1-2)<\/p>\n

Maranatha Remaining Schedule:<\/strong>
\nOct. 28 vs Crean Lutheran at 7
\nNov. 4 at Cerritos Valley Christian at 7<\/p>\n
