It’s been a battle of field goals at Carson, and the Colts are winning big.

Carson’s Nestor Lorente connected on his second field goal, this one from 30 yards, to give the Colts a 6-0 lead over Taft with 9:12 left in the second quarter of their City Section semifinal playoff game.

Taft missed a 42-yard attempt. The Toreadors seemed to catch a break when they recovered a botched snap by Carson, only to fumble the ball back to the Colts three plays later.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
