Heritage High’s football team kept it close for three quarters against visiting Rancho Verde, but the Patriots couldn’t keep up with the Mustangs in the final period and lost a 34-14 decision Friday night.

Rancho Verde quarterback Landon Debruyn passed for three touchdowns and ran for two more for the Mustangs, who improved their record to 3-6 and 3-1 in the Ivy League. Heritage remained winless on the season at 0-9 with one game remaining.

Rancho Verde got on the board first when Debruyn ran 20 yards for a score in the first quarter, but the extra point failed for a 6-0 lead. Heritage took its only lead of the game moments later when quarterback Trey Gamble ran 4 yards for a score, with the PAT giving Heritage a 7-6 advantage.

Rancho Verde scored the next two touchdowns on passes of 30 and 37 yards by Debruyn. Heritage’s only other touchdown came on a 37-yard run by Akillis Sio, cutting the deficit to 20-14. The Mustangs finished out the half with two more scores.

Heritage will close out the season next Friday with a home game against North High.
