Football ― El Camino College Warriors Fall Short to Palomar Comets

The El Camino Warriors was defeated by the Palomar Comets 47-42 on Nov. 13 at Featherstone Field and Murdock Stadium. The Warriors (6-4, 2-3) put up 453 yards of total offense and led the Comets (5-5, 3-2) by 10 points early in the second half, but the Comets outscored the Warriors 26-11 in the final 16 minutes of regulation.

Dylan Guerra went 21-for-33 for 277 yards and a touchdown through the air and added a rushing touchdown to place the Warriors’ offense. Robbie Colenzo hauled in six catches for 98 yards while Tyler Luckett added 73 receiving yards on seven receptions in the loss.

This was a tough loss for the Warriors, but Warrior’s coach Gifford Lindheim believes they’re in bowl contention.

“We had some great competitive games that were exciting for fans,” Lindheim said. “We’re gonna have one more game, and that would be our fourth straight bowl game.”

Lindheim gave high praise to sophomores, DJ Wakefield and Kevin Durant on the offensive line and freshman, Steven Bradford.

When asked about the student-athletes work in the community, he said he was proud of their work with the Warrior Pantry, which helps students struggling with food insecurity.

Lindheim was named the eighth head coach in the 75-year history of the El Camino College football program.
