It wasn't cold enough at Rio Mesa High Friday night to freeze Eric Bailey.

Three Rio Mesa timeouts and a home crowd chanting "Don't choke" didn't faze the Agoura kicker, who drilled a 37-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Chargers, 31-28, Friday night.

"There was no pressure," said Bailey. "We just stuck to what we do. ... Great snap, great hold, great kick."

Rio Mesa (1-2) had tied the game at 28-28 on the Chargers' previous field-goal attempt when a high snap and a scramble allowed Rio Mesa senior James Fernandez to return a fumble 95 yards for a touchdown.

"This game was a perfect example of why you have to take the kicking game seriously," said Agoura coach Charlie Wegher, whose team improved to 2-1.

Agoura quarterback Doug Shumway completed 17 of 22 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns.

"Doug was at his best tonight," said Wegher.

Shumway completed 15 of his last 18 passes, including eight in a row at one point, and four on the game-winning, 56-yard drive that began on the Agoura 24-yard line with 1:26 to go.

"We just wanted to inch our way down the field," said Shumway. "We didn't need it all on one play. We knew we had a great kicker."

Spartans fullback Ina Liaina matched Rio Mesa's offensive output through two games by rushing for three touchdowns.

Agoura senior Patrick Rohn, who caught two touchdown passes, was injured with 10:23 to play. He was down for more than 20 minutes after complaining of numbness in a leg and left the field in an ambulance.

"They took him to the hospital for a precautionary examination," said Wegher.

Rohn's 52-yard touchdown catch from Shumway gave Agoura a 28-21 third-quarter lead and, after a Sam Bradley interception, the Chargers lined up for a field-goal attempt for a two-score lead with less than 11 minutes to play.

Instead, Rio Mesa tied the game for a third time, as a the kick never got off and Fernandez returned a fumble for a touchdown.

The Spartans, who had only scored a combined 21 points in their first two games, fumbled on the first play from scrimmage and before they knew it Agoura jumped out to a two-touchdown lead.

Shumway threw touchdown passes of 39 and 3 yards to Sean McNamera and Rohn, respectively, as Agoura took a 14-0 lead on its first two possessions.

Shumway converted a third-and-five with a 9-yard keeper on the first scoring drive and a third-and-one with a 2-yard quarterback sneak on the second march, which was also extended by a Rio Mesa roughing-the-punter penalty.

Rio Mesa got back into the game on the ground, running 24 times for 115 yards in the first half, and via the kicking tee.

The Chargers muffed Rio Mesa kicker Jamie Jordan's high pooch kick, which enabled Liaina to tie the game with rushing touchdowns of 16 and 9 yards in the second quarter.

The first scoring run, a nifty backfield reverse after a pitch to Thomas, completed a 16-play, 79-yard drive. The second came just four plays after senior Adam Coronado recovered Jordan's muffed kickoff on the Agoura 30-yard line.

After using the high-arching pooch to tie the game at 14 at the half, Rio Mesa was burned by it on the second half kickoff.

Senior Pascal Combes-Knoke gathered and returned the high, end-over-end kick 52 yards to the Rio Mesa 18. Sam Bradley ran in from 1 yard out six plays later.

Rio Mesa used some tricky to tie the game for a second time as Chase Perham completed a 23-yard pass to Coronado on a punt fake to set up Liaina's third touchdown of the game from 21 yards.
