SANTA ANA — The Garden Grove Argonauts remained undefeated, advancing to 5-0, with a 39-0 victory over the Saddleback Roadrunners on Thursday night at Santa Ana Stadium.
The Argonauts handed the Roadrunners their fifth loss in five games on the strength of running back Sean Young, who rushed for 119 yards on 11 carries with three touchdowns.
The Argonauts scored 25 points in the first two quarters, and their defense allowed four first downs and 55 yards of offense.
The Argonauts’ defense continued its domination all the way through the second half, giving up 70 total yards of offense and only allowing the Roadrunners to get five first downs.
The offense added to the second-half onslaught by scoring two touchdowns.
Argonauts coach Ron Vander Sluis said, “Our goal all week was to become a better team collectively.”

Congrats to the Argos!
A Better “Team” is built on continous hard work , belief, trust and keeping your focus on what’s in front of you. Good work ethics on and off the field also play an important part. You have no choice in whom you play and what motivates them to win. Remember when the whistle blows the choice to win lies with the team that is working together.
