Rancho Cucamonga football holds off Valencia

VALENCIA – “The biggest thing… you never wanna accept losing.”

That message was a point of emphasis for Valencia head football coach Larry Muir after the Vikings lost to Rancho Cucamonga 48-14 on Friday night.

It wasn’t all bad for the Vikings in their final non-league contest – they came back to tie the contest at 14-14 late in the second quarter after a 1-yard touchdown from star running back Brian Bonner – but one of San Bernardino County’s elite programs proved to be too much for Valencia in the second half.
