In yet another display of fierce determination, the Fighting Lancers relentlessly pursued their opponent last Friday night at Verdugo Hills. Feeling the continued pressure from the Lancer defense and with seniors Luke Snyder and Jacob Urrutia in hot pursuit, Verdugo Hills' quarterback was forced to throw the ball early, resulting in at least two interceptions caught that evening by junior Andrew Sutton. Despite Verdugo Hills' turnovers, victory still aluded the Fighting Lancers. Sophomore quarterback Mike Mendoza connected to senior Jeremiah Curley, junior Masis Torosyan, and sophomore Jacob Baltierra in a fierce fourth quarter passing battle bringing the Fighting Lancers to within five points of their opponent. In a great display of offensive football, somehow the yellow penalty flag again found its way on the field to erase one of the Lancers well-earned touchdowns. Undoubtedly frustrated, the Fighting Lancers never gave up! Despite a final score of 26-15, the Verdugo Hills announcer aptly described the Fighting Lancers' effort when he exclaimed, "There is not an ounce of quit in these guys (the Fighting Lancers)!"
