The Buccaneers added to their lead in the second quarter when Saxton scored on a 4-yard blast. Graham again booted the point after to make it 14-7 with 8:19 remaining until the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cal put up another three points as Graham hit a 38-yard field goal. Unfortunately for the Condors this would be the entirety of their scoring for the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bellflower added another touchdown before the break when Saxton hit Miller for their second score of the evening\u2026an 8-yard scoring strike. Another Graham PAT made the score 21-10 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scoring slowed a bit in the third quarter with the only points coming from a 30-yard Graham field goal. This made the score 24-10 after three quarters of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Buccaneers picked it back up in the fourth putting three more touchdowns on the scoreboard. The first came when Saxton tossed a 26-yard pass to Brandon Munoz. The second was the result of a Saxton to Keondre Smith 26-yard catch and run. The third score was provided by the Bellflower defense when defensive back Darion Richardson returned a Welsh interception 60 yards for a \u201cPick Six\u201d. Three more Graham PAT\u2019s made the score 45-10 with 4:56 remaining in the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final points came on a Condor miscue on their final play of the evening. Cal was lined up to punt when the snap went past the punter and through the end zone resulting in a safety being awarded to Bellflower. This made the final score 47-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bellflower will take their newly minted 2-0 Mid-Cities League record on the road next Friday night when it travels to Paramount to battle the Pirates. California will look to rebound on the road against Gahr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
