Apparently, the fight has not been taken out of the Cerritos College football team. Still reeling from their loss to Pasadena City the week before, the Falcons went out and came back from a 17-13 deficit to post a 41-31 Mission Conference North Division win over Riverside.
With the win, the Falcons (8-2, 3-2) will host Saddleback (8-2) in the 9th Annual Cerritos Strawberry Bowl on Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. It marks the fifth straight year Cerritos will play in the game, while the Falcons have won all six times they have played in the game.
Saddleback finished the regular season with a 37-16 win over Orange Coast… The Gouchos finished in second place in the Mission Conference Central Division. And their only losses came at the hands of Grossmont (38-14) and Palomar (19-16)
Cerritos was rated No. 7 in the most recent Southern California Poll, while the Gauchos were ranked No. 8.
