GARDEN GROVE — An ugly victory is what Garden Grove coach Ron Vander Sluis called his team’s 49-21 victory over La Quinta on Thursday night.

“Our goal has been to get better the last couple of weeks, and we did not do that today,” Vander Sluis said. “Our momentum is kind of stalled right now, even though you win a ballgame, there are still a lot of things you can fix.”

Garden Grove (7-0, 2-0) had eight players combine to rush for 215 yards and five touchdowns.

Leading that balanced running attack was Jonathan Lopez with 65 yards and two touchdowns.

The Argronauts defensive star of the night was Sean Young, who finished with two interceptions.

“Basically I tried to overplay the ball,” Young said. “Luckily I was able to pick off the pass.”

La Quinta’s (2-5, 0-2) Nathan Do finished with 142 rushing yards and a TD.
