Turnovers bite Warriors in loss to San Pasqual

ESCONDIDO – Big plays and turnovers hurt the Fallbrook Warriors varsity football team when they visited Valley League-leading San Pasqual on Friday, Oct. 25.

The Golden Eagles 63-0 shutout win over the Warriors last week means that San Pasqual (8-1, 4-0) claimed at least a share of the Valley League title with Escondido (3-1), who lost to Valley Center on Saturday and will host the Golden Eagles this Friday night.

The Warriors (0-9, 0-4), on the other hand, will be fighting to finish the season on a high note and stay out of last place in the league when they play host to winless Rancho Buena Vista (0-9, 0-4) on Friday night.

The Longhorns are coming off a 41-6 loss to Ramona.

Against San Pasqual, the Warriors fell behind early on a 40-yard touchdown reception and a 20-yard touchdown run by San Pasqual in the first quarter.

Leading 14-0 heading into the second quarter, the Golden Eagles rattled off 35 straight points in the second quarter – two touchdowns on the ground, one coming after a fumble inside the Warriors' 10-yard line, another on an interception return, another through the air and another on a punt return for a touchdown.

San Pasqual scored once more in the third quarter and again in the fourth quarter to finish the scoring on the evening.

Freshman update: The Fallbrook Warriors freshman team continued their winning ways, thrashing San Pasqual 49-0 at home on Thursday, Oct. 24.

The young Warriors will travel to Vista to take on RBV (7-2) on Thursday, Oct. 31 looking to trick the freshman Longhorns and treat themselves to an undefeated season.
