Pierce 13 – East Nicolaus 20
NICOLAUS, CA (MPG) – In a rematch of last year’s Northern Section CIF Division IV second round playoff match, the Spartans exacted some revenge against the Bears, who brought Pierce’s 2022 season to an early and unexpected end.
While Pierce had the early momentum last Friday night, putting the game’s first two touchdowns on the board, Coach Anthony Tapia reported that the Bears made some costly mistakes and got somewhat complacent, which allowed East Nic to comeback and eventually overtake his team.
Alfonso Orozco scored on a 40-yard run in the first quarter and Nathan Gomez made his way into the end zone from 30 yards out to account for the Bears’ only points of the night.
Alex Orozco made an interception for the defense.
