 Harbor City Narbonne sent a message to the city and southern sections schools that they are a really good football team by beating Long Beach Poly 56-0. What was most impressive is not the scoring ,but the defense didn't allow them a first down till late in the second quarter. Narbonne's Tony Gates started the scoring frenzy with a thirty eight yard touchdown run to give the Gauchos a 7-0 lead. Narbonne's defense pinned Long Beach Poly offense back deep into their own side of the field and was force to punt.

Great field position set up the next score for the Gauchos as Troy Williams connected with A.J. Richardson for a twenty yard touchdown and now the Gaucho lead 14-0. The Jackrabbits' offense just couldn't get any type of passing or running game going during the game and was force to punt again to the Gauchos.This may be the best defensive and offensive team Narbonne has ever had playing tonight.The Jackrabbits' quarterback Eban Jackson was being pressure, and really couldn't step into his throwing motions as his passes were very high.

Narbonne's defense was just too much for Long Beach Poly.
