LONG BEACH- The Lancers’ football season came to end Friday when they traveled to play Long Beach Poly at Veteran’s Stadium and lost by a score of 40-25.
After receiving an at-large bid, Bishop Amat was matched up to play the Long Beach Poly Jackrabbits for the first round of CIF playoffs.
Anthony Camargo started the scoring on defense when he returned an interception for a touchdown.
Dionza Blue caught a 57-yard touchdown pass from Koa Haynes. Edward Mancilla contributed to the scoring with a 25-yard field goal. And Rene Carrillo also had a rushing touchdown.
The Lancers held their ground in the first quarter, but as the game progressed the defense couldn’t stop the explosive running offense of the Jackrabbits.
Injuries to the Lancer defense would prove vital as they allowed 432 total rushing yards.
Bishop Amat finishes with a 7-3-1 record.
