“I had to keep it on my own.”Birmingham needed standout performances from its four likely All-City players — Dadich, White, Robledo and Boardingham — to overcome the persistent, determined play of Banning quarterback Jake Otto. From an opening 68-yard, 11-play drive, when Otto completed all four of his passes and scored on a seven-yard run, he wasn’t going to let the Patriots win without a fight. Birmingham’s Mason White (19) and Christopher Figueroa (34) celebrate their team’s win Friday night. Then Robledo put the Patriots up 14-7 at halftime with a 10-yard touchdown reception from Dadich and a two-point conversion catch with seven seconds left.
