Pierce struggled to hold onto the football most of the night as early mistakes led to a lopsided defeat against their crosstown rival Los Angeles Valley College at home.

Bad snaps, penalties and fumbles prevented Pierce’s offense and defense to get into any type of rhythm. With the win, Valley kept control of the Victory Bell -- part of the crosstown rivals’ tradition rewarded to the winner -- after beating Pierce, 64-13.

Pierce’s record now is 1-5.

“We made some brutal mistakes on special teams and gave them 35 points on bad snaps and two pick sixes,” Pierce coach Jason Sabolic said. “We just can’t make mistakes like that against a good football team.”

Pierce had eight fumbles, lost four of them, and also had two
