Bolsa Grande quarterback Brian Baughman passed for 260 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Matadors to a 32-24 victory over La Quinta in a Garden Grove League game Thursday night at Bolsa Grande.

Baughman, who completed 13 of 27 passes, connected with Kevin Michini on all three of his touchdown passes.

He finished the game with seven receptions for 151 yards.

La Quinta (1-3, 0-1) led, 18-12, at halftime with the help of two touchdowns by Watson Visuwan. Visuwan, a senior, opened the scoring by returning an interception 68 yards for a score only 59 seconds into the contest. He added a 12-yard scoring run in the second quarter.
