Jonathan Smith of Pasadena City College turned out to be a scoring machine against Cerritos College Saturday, scoring six touchdowns while leading the Lancers to a 51-12 pounding of the Falcons.

The loss, second worst in school history, was Cerritos’ third of the season and a real blow to the Falcons, who were looking to get back into first place in the Mission Conference Northern Division.

Falcon running back Kevin Denis said, “We should have come ready to play. Pasadena lost to El Camino last week and we throught this was going to be an easy game. We should focus on the mental part of the game. Once we do we will win.”

Smith finished the game with 353 yards rushing, a Pasadena and Mission Conference single-game record, and added 102 yards receiving on five catches and 60 yards on two kickoff returns.

He also set new Pasadena City single-season records with 1,659 yards and 156 points (breaking Jackie Robinson’s record of 131 set in 1938).

Trailing 17-0 at the start of the third quarter, running back Josh Herrera scored on a 68-yard run on the Falcons’ first play from scrimmage.

The Lancers answered back on their first play, with Smith scoring his second touchdown on a 54-yard pass play from quarterback Nathan Chandler. That touchdown broke Robinson’s scoring record .

The other Cerritos touchdown came when quarterback Glenn DeBerg, in relief of Mike Harrison, hit tight end Fausto Gonzalez in the end zone with a two-yard pass, cutting the Pasadena lead to 31-12.

Falcon linebacker Jason Jones said, “We needed to execute our assignments. We need to play as a team to beat Riverside (this week).”

Falcon defensive end Armando Calderon agreed. “We needed to step-up on both sides of the ball. We needed to advance our turnovers. We need to play smarter. We will beat Riverside, we just need to stop making mistakes.”
