SBCC Staves Off Late Rally to Defeat Perennial Powerhouse Saddleback 34-28 Victory
A Strong First Half Gave the Vaqueros Enough Cushion to Beat the Visiting Bobcats
A 34-7 lead going into the fourth quarter quickly evaporated, but the SBCC football team displayed impressive resolve to survive Saddleback’s furious rally and hang on for a 34-28 victory on Saturday night at La Playa Stadium.
The Vaqueros built their lead by dominating in all three phases of the game, including a 98-yard kick return for a touchdown by Donovan Harris on his first collegiate play and picked up their first victory of the season.
“I love it when all three phases do it. The kick return was huge,” said SBCC coach Craig Moropoulos. “{Saddleback} is a good team. They played right with Ventura last week and almost beat them. I’m proud of our guys.”
