For Pierce College’s football team things could only get better after the previous two abysmal weeks of back to back routs.
It did get better, but it didn’t amount to anything as the Brahmas lost their third game in a row 52-36 on Saturday, Oct. 4.
West Los Angeles College got after Pierce early and with the Brahmas defensive line being so ineffective, the Wildcats went into the half leading 49-3.
After making adjustments and a brand new defensive scheme the Brahmas second half looked very much like the team last year that won the American Division Bowl championship. Pierce would score 36 points and the Wildcats would only add a field goal in the second half. Even with the late surge it was still too little too late.
“We played well in the second half,” Brahmas quarterback Mike Adens said. “We changed some things up and we started to move the ball. Overall I think we’re back and I feel pretty confident about the rest of the season.”
The Brahmas next game will be on the road where they will take on the Orange Coast Pirates who have a record of 0-4. Pierce looks to turn their season around and end its three game losing streak. The game starts at 6 p.m.
