Alameda 16 vs California School for the Deaf 12 : October 21, 2010

The Hornets recorded their first home win against a scrappy CSD team. The matchup gave CSD a 6 point edge into the second quarter until Alameda scored and closed the half even  6  to  6.

The stalemate continued into the fourth quarter when the Hornets forced a safety after a bad CSD punt snap edging ahead  8  to  6. The two point edge was intact until CSD scored off an Alameda turnover. CSD took the lead  8 to 12.

Alameda got the ball back, trailing by 4, less than five minutes in the game, and poor field position. The Alameda offense delivered two huge first downs to get into the red zone with less than two minutes on the clock. Then, on second down, with time running out, the offense scored off a grinding eighteen yard run. The special teams added another 2 points to regain the lead  16 to 12. 

With fifty seven seconds left in the game the defense broke up the CSD passing game, forcing a turnover on downs, giving Alameda the ball to run the clock out.

Final score Alameda 16  CSD 12.
