GARDEN GROVE -- Paul Gomez kicked four field goals as La Quinta knocked off Bolsa Grande, 12-7, Thursday at Bolsa Grande High.
Gomez was successful from 27, 40, 29 and 40 yards as the Aztecs (4-6, 2-3 Garden Grove) mainly relied on the running back tandem of Nathan Do and Jonathan Rio. (Full game stats.)
The seniors combined for 127 yards rushing on 28 carries, while Rio added a 37 yard reception to set up Gomez’s third kick.
The Matadors (4-6, 1-4) made a fourth quarter charge as quarterback Jesus Sergovia directed a 12-play, 77-yard drive that culminated with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Jesse Garcia, cutting the deficit to 9-7.
Gomez kicked his final field goal with 1:42 left to play on the ensuing drive.
Sergovia was sacked three times, the last by Gomez, as Bolsa Grande tried to mount a last-gasp effort.
The senior quarterback finished 5 of 11 for 63 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. The Matadors were held to 138 yards of offense.
For the Aztecs, who snapped a 17-game Garden Grove League losing streak earlier this season, it was the perfect way to end their year.
“The records don’t matter, you saw it tonight,” Coach James Stewart said. “We’ve got a great future.”

YOU PLAYED A GREAT GAME #10. NICE JOB WELL DONE.
lq should still go and play in the 8 man league. they have no place in the garden grove league. at least bolsa grande has a history!
LQ you played hard this season and it shows by the wins you had. Your courage and hard worked will keep you going.
Go Aztecs!!!! Your fans are behind you.
history that came to an end last nigh. don't hate!
That's right BGHS! You lost on your homecoming! I bet you all thought it was an easy win, but the Aztecs proved victorious! LQ, AH WOO!
GGL is weak without Pacifica
haha just wait till next yr bolsa, history will repeat itself like it did on November 13, 2008. just a quick question, how does it feel to get physically humiliated on ur homecoming? haha the funny thing was, was that bg seemed to talk a big game throughout hte course of the night, but seems like u guys couldnt back up that talk. let alone hit as hard as u guys said u guys cold.
lq people who is the only school in the garden grove league to win a CIF title i know its not lq its BOLSA so thats the history that bg has what do guys have to say about that
haha ur sadly mistaken man, u r sadly mistaken
look it up haha we actually have.
get ur facts straight before u say something stupid like that
Bolsa blows. 2 weeks ago we won our homecoming and last week we spoiled theirs...
History? Yeah, Bolsa has it...from Wiki:
(They have not made the playoffs since 1987, and hold the Orange County record for most consecutive losses, losing 43 straight games from 1999 to 2003.)
Please, dont think for a second your any better than LQ. I was on the field in 03 when you ended your little streak and 04 when you beat us, but was also there in 05 when we caught you guys. Congrats 2008-2009 team.
