Top-seeded Carson High School controlled Taft's potent passing attack and the offense more than did its part Friday in a 40-21 victory in the City Section Division I football semifinals.

The Colts (11-2) will now face No. 2 Crenshaw (11-2) next Saturday at the Coliseum in the title game.

Michael Bercovici came into the game as the City's leading passer, but he was limited to 165 yards and a TD through the air by the aggressive Carson secondary. Tracey Harris had an interception for the Colts.

In the first half, Kendell Sparks had a 24-yard scoring run and Nestor Lorente kicked two field goals to help the Colts to a 14-7 lead.

In the second half, running backs Dion Willis (10 carries for 113 yards) and Miles Johnson (16 for 107) helped them control the game. Willis ran for a pair of TDs.

Justin Alo passed for 107 yards and a score.

Tyrell Galloway scored on a 15-yard fumble return on a botched punt attempt by Taft (9-4).

Terrance Hall added 111 yards and two scores on 17 carries and quarterback Joe Floyd had a rushing TD for the Lions (8-3-1). Don Tyler Jr. led the defense with nine tackles.
