Football: LBCC Closes Regular Season on Positive Note with Win

After a challenging season, the Long Beach City College football team closed out the regular season with a much-needed win. With a 35-21 victory over Moorpark, the Vikings ended 2026 with a 3-7 record.

LBCC collected touchdowns through the air, on the ground and on defense. In the team win, quarterback Kayde Bodine contributed a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown. Lynnden Hodge and Jacob Taddi added scores on the ground, while Travion Baker delivered a defensive highlight with an interception return for a touchdown.

Baker’s pick-six was one of five LBCC touchdowns in the victory, giving the Vikings enough scoring to finish two touchdowns clear of Moorpark.

For a Long Beach team that struggled to build consistent results throughout the season, the finale provided a chance to close with contributions from several players and a win to carry into the offseason.
