Vaqueros get run over by Hancock in season opener

Ryan Anglin ran for 210 yards and four touchdowns Saturday night and Hancock piled up 484 yards on the ground en route to a 51-6 football victory over SBCC.

It was the first game on the new synthetic turf at La Playa Stadium.

Martel Crockett got loose for a 72-yard TD run on the second play of the game and Anglin sprinted 87 yards the next time the Bulldogs touched the ball for an early 13-0 lead. Anglin went for 190 yards and three scores in the first half as the visitors from Santa Maria built a 34-6 lead.

[ad#Story Embed 1 – 468×60]Hancock, ranked 13th in Southern California, won the 50th meeting with SBCC to improve its series lead to 28-21-1. The Bulldogs finished with 653 total yards while the Vaqueros had 205.

Crockett gained 127 yards on 12 rushing attempts on a night when 16 Hancock players had at least one carry.

“Hancock is a good football team,“ said SBCC coach Craig Moropoulos. “They’re physical and powerful and you better tackle them. We didn’t tackle well, that’s obvious.

“You can’t turn the ball over and you can’t drop the ball in the end zone.”

Alonzo Winn rushed 14 times for 84 yards in his debut for the Vaqueros, who turned the ball over three times.

Quarterback John Uribe completed 12-of-29 passes for 107 yards and an interception.

The Vaqueros’ best chance for a touchdown came on their second series. They drove 55 yards and had first-and-goal at the 6 after Winn ripped off a 16-yard run. A pass was dropped in the end zone, however, and Chaz Dalton booted a 22-yard field goal to make it 13-3.

Anglin had scoring runs of 6 and 34 yards in the second quarter as Hancock stretched the lead to 27-3 before Dalton booted a 38-yard field goal with 3:05 to go in the first half.

Lavance Thompson caught eight passes for 75 yards for the Vaqueros. Manny Hernandez led the defense with 12 tackles, including four solo.

“Nobody gave up, our guys kept playing hard,” said Moropoulos. “That’s our motto for the next couple of weeks — try to get better and build on the positives.

“Alonzo Winn is our third-team running back and he had an outstanding night.”

SBCC travels to Antelope Valley on Saturday for a 6 p.m. game.
