Second year Coach Craig Bell said the Rancho Buena Vista football team’s “pride and joy is lining up and running the ball and defense.”

Rancho Buena Vista, in only its second year of varsity of football, did a lot of both against Fallbrook at Vista High Saturday night, winning, 33-9, in a game where running back Scott Garcia and O.J. Hall amassed 312 yards to lead the Longhorn rushing attack.

At the half, the Longhorns had held Fallbrook to 85 total yards and a field goal.

Garcia scored three times for RBV, including a 4-yard run with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter with the Longhorns leading, 26-9. That score was set up by a Fallbrook fumble on the Longhorn 37. Another Fallbrook turnover in the third quarter led to RBV’s third touchdown. It took the Longhorns three plays before Hall ran in from 28 yards out to make it 19-3.
