As the Warriors tried to make a comeback in the fourth quarter, Jesse Scroggins was sacked for a loss of 22 yards forcing the Warriors to punt, ending the game in a loss, 17-6, in Saturday.

“Basically it was just that Jesse was kind of nervous and he wasn’t comfortable in the pocket,” Luckner Brady, wide receiver, said.

“Instead of staying in the pocket and completing the passes he was bouncing around trying to scramble,” Brady added.

With more than 1,700 fans roaring at L.A. Harbor stadium, they came to watch the highly anticipated rivalry game that has many friendships and old foes divided when it comes down to the sport.

The rivals are friends and familiar peers, who decided to go to different colleges.

“It just makes the game more fun knowing that you’re playing against a lot of the dudes that you grew up with and played in high school with,” Royshaun Lewis, defensive back, said.

“It just makes the competition more serious because at the end of the day you’re still going to be buddies and there’s still going to be memories and if you lose you won’t hear the end of it from your friends,” Lewis added.

The Warriors in the second half allowed the L.A. Harbor offense to score no points.

Ivan McLennan had 14 tackles and Auston Johnson had eight tackles and one sack.

“The defense came to play and knew that it was a rivalry game so couldn’t allow them to just put up so many points and make our defense look bad,” Lewis said.

The Warriors offense struggled with Jesse Scroggins going 9-of-26 on his attempts for 73 yards and two interceptions and the offense had a total of four turnovers.

“It’s a bad feeling knowing that they (defense) went out there and gave it their all, and them giving us the opportunities to score on the extra drives,” Brady said.

“Basically coach has been stressing in practice to just to get our timing right and not to get down on ourselves after a loss because it’s not the end of the world,” Brady added.

On Saturday the Warriors will look to rebound against Bakersfield at home.

Bakersfield came off of a blowout win, 45-7, last Saturday against Canyons.

“First we need to correct our mistakes this week in practice by sitting our quarterback down talking to him and getting his confidence back up,” Brady said.

“I think we’ll be productive, I think we’ll have 40 or more points.”
