Marcos Loya, senior Wide Receiver, scored a touchdown as well and said, “I feel like we played very well, but there is always room for improvement; we have been disciplined, and after last night’s game, I feel like it is beginning to show. Senior Wide Receiver, Joseph Noriega, was also able to make a touchdown during the duration of the game. After a few touchdowns, Jacob Espinoza, senior Wide Receiver, made two-point conversions, increasing the numbers on the scoreboard. The final score was Porterville – 36, Delano – 3.
