Matt Milazzo Scores Twice, Including 90-Yard Pick-Six in Bonita’s 21-7 Sierra League Opening Victory Over Colony

Football:

Bonita made a couple of steps forward on Friday night.

The Bearcats evened their season record at 3-3.

They got quarterback Travis Lippert back since the fourth quarter in a week-zero loss at Muir.

And BHS opened Sierra League play with a 21-7 victory over their visitors from Colony.

Bonita led 21-0 before the Titans scored their lone TD of the game late in the third quarter.

I hope to add stats to this story on either Saturday or Sunday.

For now, here goes:

Matt Milazzo played the starring role in Friday’s win.

Milazzo picked a Jordan Juarez pass four minutes into the second quarter.

And the BHS sophomore brought it back 90 yards for the pick-six.

Just before the half, Milazzo caught a 5-yard TD pass from Lippert to extend the lead to 14-0.

Midway through the third quarter, Drew Apodaca rumbled in from two yards out to cap the Bearcats scoring.

With less than a minute to play in the third quarter, Daylan Sumler reeled in a 25-yard scoring strike from Jordan Juarez to account for the Colony offense.

Up next: The Bearcats host Glendora on Thursday night.

The Tartans (1-5) struggles continued with a 40-7 week-six setback at Charter Oak.
