Football (1-5)
The Mustangs celebrated their homecoming last Friday, Oct. 10, on Jim Scott Field at Estancia High School with their first win of the season at the expense of the Breakers in a very one sided event, the worse on-field effort since the 1997 season. This contest was also the most lopsided loss for the Breakers in the nine years of Orange Coast League play. The Mustangs took the opening kickoff and then went 85 yards for the first score in one play, and going on to score on their remaining five possessions of the first half. Breakers did not help their cause turning the ball over on an interception on their first possession and a fumble late in the second period that set up another quick touchdown.
The second half opened with Laguna getting the kickoff but fumbling the ball on their fourth play that ended
up being returned 51 yards for Costa Mesa’s last score. The last period was played with a running clock. The loss snapped the 62 consecutive games scoring streak, the longest in Laguna school history dating back to a shutout loss in 2009 to Corona del Mar. It was the 98th time Laguna has been held scoreless in 80 seasons of play. There were bright spots on the Breakers; Nick Krantz, Brett Tracy, were among the players playing hard on both sides of the ball.
Up next is the 59th annual homecoming game Friday, Oct. 17, at Guyer Field when Laguna hosts Saddleback (2-3). Breakers are 21-36-1 in these games winning the last two.
