MAGDALENA – The Steers football team won over the tenacious Sea Lions of Bataan Military Academy 60-32 on Friday. Every time the Steers looked like they would run away with the game the Academy team inched up to keep the game interesting.
Magdalena (3-4) will travel to Reserve (6-1) on Friday to play the Mountaineers at 2 p.m.
Reserve is having its best season in recent years and only has lost to Tatum.
Bryce Milligan, Reggie Peralta and Robbie Zamora scored early to put Magdalena on top 20-0 half way throught the first quarter.
Bataan scored twice to cut the lead to 20-12. Wyatt Billy scored for Magdalena putting the Steers up 26-12 and Milligan caught another touchdown pass to put the Steers up 32-18. Zamora scored again and a safety had Magdalena up 40-18 at the half.
Bataan scored twice in the third quarter to cut the Steers lead to 40-32.
Zamora scored off right tackle to give Magdalena a little breathing room at 48-32 the score at the end of the third quarter. Milligan scored the final touchdown of the game for a 60-32 victory.
Magdalena will be on the road against Reserve at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Marquez said that they tried some new plays that they were working on preparing for district.
“We executed very well,” Marquez said. “We’ll probably have that offense in the future. When I subbed the young guys in the fourth quarter they stepped up and did a great job. A lot of people had some big gains for us but that Robbie Zamora, he moved the ball.”
