Cerritos College sophomore quarterback Brandon Denker threw a school-record-tying six touchdowns against the Long Beach City College Vikings on Saturday, giving the Falcons the 53-34 win and retention of the annual Crosstown Cup.

The Falcons jumped out to a 31-0 lead at the half before holding off a surge by the Vikings.

The Falcons move up to 1-2 on the year, while the Vikings drop to 0-3.

LBCC Head Coach Mike Reisbig was infuriated at his team’s ability to contain the Falcons’ offense while it was running up the score at the end of the game.

“We sucked,” he said, angrily, “it’s not their job to stop scoring, it’s our job to stop that garbage.”

Cerritos will host West Los Angeles College on Saturday at Falcon Stadium. Last season, the Falcons defeated West LA 44-7 behind a 200-yard, four-touchdown passing performance by former quarterback Kane Wilson.

Head Coach Frank Mazzotta declined to comment on the team’s victory.
