On a warm muggy night at their home stadium, the Bolsa Grande High football team on Thursday night proved to be even hotter than the weather as the Matadors opened the 2025 season with a 66-0 win over the visiting Savanna Rebels.

Anthony Bell rushed for 108 yards on 12 carries and scored on runs of 67 and 15 yards. The Matadors raced out to a 28-0 first quarter lead and were never seriously challenged the rest of the way, giving new head coach Doug Cooper a win in his first game.

The Matadors will next take on Ocean View on Friday, Aug. 29.
