Place: Equestrian Center the weight room in January and February with our new players and getting ready for next year.”

Abajian expressed his disappointment in Saturday’s game, but he felt that they fought as hard as they could.

“This is the one game we were supposed to come onto battle. With all our efforts. It was the last game,” Abajian said. “We tried to do everything we can. We came up short, but we played a long, hard game.”

Abajian said that his plans for offseason and next year were to get bigger and stronger as he trains in the weight room.

Linebackers coach Eldridge Salguero said while he saw a lot of effort and communication on the team, their biggest problem is trusting each other.

“I saw a lot of hustle. I saw a lot of effort, a team,” Salguero said. “I saw them communicating. I think the way we could improve would be just trusting each other.”

Salguero echoed Abajian and Sims’s sentiment on his plans for offseason and next year with getting stronger along with recruitment, though he wants to focus on recruiting athletes that are local.

Salguero also stated that despite Pierce’s late start in the season and the staff getting hired late, he won’t let that stop him from recruiting the local kids.

“I think that since we started late, we got hired late,” Salguero said. “I think that definitely set us back for this year, but we’ve been busting our butts off to local kids.” first round. fgamino.roundupnews@gmail.com

Pierce College’s rivalry with LA Valley College began back in 1965, after the game in 1951 was canceled due to not having enough players on their roster.

The Victory Bell has since traveled from college to college over the span of 56 years.

With the loss, the Brahmas finish 0-10 for the season and continue their drought of ringing the bell, a feature they have not seen since 2015.

The other seven teams to have byes are Chaffey, Mt. San Antonio, Long Beach City, Santiago Canyon, Santa Barbara City, Saddleback and Cypress.

Pierce will face the winner of College of the Canyons and Mt. San Jacinto on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
