Recap
Laguna Beach, CA — The LBHS Frosh Soph team put their undefeated season on the line when they hosted the Westlake Warriors for a Friday afternoon contest.
By early in the second quarter, the Breakers found themselves down 21 to nothing. They had had limited success on offense and had been unable to stop the Warriors offense.
On second and long, quarterback Braden Hansen found Silas Murray over the middle where Silas made a spectacular one-handed catch. This seemed to motivate the Breakers and they drove the ball downfield until Hansen found Hendricks McMann open for a 19 yard touchdown pass.
The Warriors were driving again and threatening to score, when Colton Nassour intercepted a ball at the one yard line. With time running out in the first half, Braden Hansen scrambled and eluded tackles for a 30 yard touchdown run, making the score at halftime Westlake 21 Laguna 13.
Laguna started the second half with the ball on their 8 yard line after a penalty on the kickoff.
