FOOTBALL ( 2-3 ) Laguna Comeback Falls Short
27-25
The Breakers could not pull off another comeback win last Friday night as they ran out of miracles turning the ball over on downs in the final seconds at Crean Lutheran . The Saints were holding their first-night football game ( and homecoming ) in their on-campus stadium , and the team treated the overflow crowd to a 21-0 start in the opening period . Once Laguna adjusted , Breakers slowly got back into the contest and had the home fans sweating in the final minutes .
The two field goals in the second period were set up on fumble recoveries by Jacob Burdick and Micah Chavez on Crean miscues . Breakers did not help their cause with five turnovers , but only one led to a Crean score .
This week : Friday September
