The coaches’ hunger paid dividends for Gonzalez ...

Lindhurst High's Angel Gonzalez scored a historic win for his team on Friday, marking the first Bell victory over Marysville since 2009. Born in 2009, Gonzalez has no memory of the previous dominance over Marysville. Gonzalez's two-way performance, which included crucial catches and his team's aggressive play, led to a 28-20 triumph.

Senior Ismael Sanabia capitalized on Gonzalez's pick for a short-yardage touchdown, pushing the score to 28-13. Marysville fought back, but ultimately fell short. Head coach Troy Spangler attributed the win to the defense's efforts and Gonzalez's leadership. The team plans to keep the Bell in south county, with the class of '28 showing determination. Lindhurst heads to Lake County for their next game, while Marysville hosts East Nicolaus.
