JCS Flag Football Review (10-24-08)
October 31, 2008
On Thursday, the San Diego Middle School Jaguars “B” Team bested the Jaguars “A” Team by the score of 15 to 6. The “B” team was led by Micah, who continues to impress with his precise passes down the field. Imalia had a great game while catching three passes, two for point-after-touchdown scores. Nick scored his first touchdown of the season. For the “A” squad, Mark did a fine job filling in at quarterback, Thomas caught his first pass, and David caught another touchdown pass.
In Friday’s early game the Murrieta Hawks (3-1) lost their first game of the season to the Alpine Coyotes (2-1-1) by the score of 15 to 13. It was a see-saw affair, with the lead changing throughout the game. The Coyotes wrapped up the game late when they intercepted a Hawk pass.
In the late game the San Diego Jaguars (1-2-1) won their first game of the season as they defeated the Pine Valley Pumas (1-3) by the score of 14 to 6.
The two JV teams will meet again next Thursday at 12:00 p.m. at Clay Park.
Next Friday the Murrieta Hawks will play the San Diego Jaguars at 1:45 p.m. and the Pine Valley Pumas will meet the Alpine Coyotes at 2:45 p.m.
