Laguna Beach, CA — The Laguna Beach Frosh Soph team played their first league game this Wednesday against the El Modena Vanguards.
Laguna had not had a game for two weeks and were expecting to look a little rusty, and also started a new quarterback, Logan Danus. However, on the second play from scrimmage, London Blincoe burst through the line and went 68 yards for a touchdown.
The Vanguards had a large offensive line and strong running backs and drove the ball to our 1 yard line and their quarterback kept it for a 1 yard touchdown run.

Undaunted, Logan found Christian Offield on the right side for what turned into a 75 yard touchdown pass, bringing the Breakers to within one point. ElMo scored again on their next possession.
