After a Titan touchdown later in the quarter, Moreno would score on a one-yard run with about 10 minutes left to go in the fourth quarter. Three minutes later, after Victoria East turned the ball over on a bad snap on a punt attempt, kicker Gabe Hernandez drilled a 24-yard field goal to put Seguin up 30-23.
