Football

Anaheim Magnolia (1-7) gets bonus points for its Orange League effort last Thursday night.

The Sentinels, who had gone four weeks without scoring more than seven points, tied the score as time expired against Santa Ana Century (4-4).

Instead of kicking the point after to force overtime, Coach Robert Frasco’s team went for the win, only to have Louis Ford tackled short of the two-point conversion.

Magnolia lost, 41-40.
