Conner Lee scored four touchdowns in the second half allowing Dos Pueblos to pull away and beat Cabrillo, 40-13, for its first victory of the season on Friday night at Huyck Stadium in Lompoc in the Channel League football opener.

Dos Pueblos scored two touchdowns in the third quarter on a 2-yard run by Lee and a 10-yard run by Udy Loza.

The fourth belonged to Lee and the Chargers. He scored on a 19-yard run and a pass from Severson to break the game open. He finished the night with a 1-yard TD run.
“We’re a young team still trying to learn how to win,” DP coach Doug Caines said. “We had poor first-half execution and got better in the second half.”
