Segerstrom High School’s football team bounced back from an opening week loss to defeat Santa Ana Valley 63-7 Friday night at Santa Ana Valley in front of a big crowd.

“Our guys rebounded from last week with a great win versus a city rival,” said Segerstrom Coach Joseph Tagaloa. “The defense got us started on the first play of the game with a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Matthew Orellana was able to jump on a bad snap to get the scoring going. Ayden Morales and Joseph Garcia both added a pick six.”
