Pioneer quarterback Jonathan Jimenez had all the Titan faithful smiling on Thursday night
(La Mirada)- Pioneer Titan quarterback Jonathan Jimenez accounted for six touchdowns, five by air, Thursday night to lead his team to a 44-27 victory over the Glenn Eagles at La Mirada High School.
Jimenez completed 23 of 38 passes for 273 yards and five touchdowns and took his team to a quick 14-0 lead. Glenn would rally and grind behind quarterback Erick Galindo but it was the Eagles inability to stop the Titans passing game, in particular its slant routes, that did them in.
A 25-yard touchdown run by Dominick Enriquez late in the first quarter pulled Glenn to within a touchdown but they would get no closer as Pioneer’s Jimenez riddled them by throwing the ball to six different receivers and scoring throws in each of the quarters.
Glenn quarterback Erick Galindo is as tough as they come.
