A dream season for the SBCC football team ended in a resounding victory on Saturday, as the Vaqueros defeated College of the Desert, 44-23, in the Beach Bowl at La Playa Stadium, for their tenth consecutive win.
Brandon Smith was named Offensive Player of the Game after rushing for 200 yards on 25 carries and three touchdowns. He eclipsed 1200 yards on the season and broke several program records, including the single game rushing record.
“Ten wins in a row, that’s difficult to do, especially in football with injuries and just the ups and downs. When you’re winning everybody is out to get you and that’s the way it was Saturday, but the atmosphere created by our athletic director LaDeane Hantsen was fantastic,” said SBCC coach Craig Moropoulos. “It was a different atmosphere and anybody that was there could feel it.”
