Buena sophomore quarterback Jovoni Borbon completed five touchdown passes, including one with 6.2 seconds left in regulation and another in overtime, to lead the Colts to a 49-48 overtime victory over visiting Mountain View.

Borbon’s 6-yard TD pass to Kaleb Bryant with 6.2 seconds left in regulation forced overtime. His 6-yard TD pass to Khalil Gardley in overtime put Buena up 49-42. Mountain View cut the lead to 49-48 on a TD run but the Mountain Lions’ two-point conversion failed.

Borbon, who has taken part in the Rich Rodriguez Football Camp at Arizona, has led the Colts (5-4 overall) to at least a .500 record after they snapped a 22-game losing streak earlier this season.

Borbon’s first three TD passes were to Mandrell Garrick, including one for 70 yards.
