JCS Flag Football Review (10-17-08)
October 20, 2008
On Thursday, the San Diego Middle School Jaguars “A” Team (3-0) continued their winning ways as they beat the Jaguars “B” Team (0-3) by the score of 19 to 0. Congratulations to Daniyah on the “A” for catching her first pass of the season. Kudos also goes out to Michael of the “B” team for catching his first pass of the season.
In the early varsity game on Friday the Murrieta Hawks (3-0) remained unbeaten with a 20 to 8 victory over the Pine Valley Pumas (1-2).
In the late game defense was dominant as the Alpine Coyotes (1-1-1) and San Diego Jaguars (0-2-1) played to a 6 to 6 tie. What was most noticeable, other than the great defensive effort, was the way each team displayed great sportsmanship both during and after the game.
The two JV teams will meet again next Thursday at 12:30 p.m. at the Kroc.
Next Friday the undefeated Murrieta Hawks will play the once beaten Alpine Coyotes at 1:45 p.m. and the Pine Valley Pumas will meet the San Diego Jaguars at 2:45 p.m.

JCS Online-Emailing Your Instructor in the New Course Email
October 14, 2008
The new mailbox in JCS Online brings all of your course email into one place. This can certainly make things easier to check email, but does bring with it changes that might make it a little bit more difficult to make sure you’re emailing the correct specialist in your course.
I’ve put together a very brief demonstration video that provides a short overview of how to email your instructor within JCS Online. Please be sure to have your speakers on so that you can hear the narration.

JCS Flag Football Review (10-10-08)
October 11, 2008
On Thursday, the two San Diego Middle School teams met for the second time in two weeks with the result being the same as the Jaguars “A” Team (2-0) beat the Jaguars “B” Team (0-2) by the score of 12 to 0. The “A” team was led by Micah’s two touchdown passes, one to Mark and the other to David. David continued to impress with his great speed and flag pulling.
The “B” team was led by Chris as he caught a beautiful 4th down 35 yard pass and had an interception.
On Friday afternoon, the Murrieta Hawks (2-0) continued their winning ways with a 28 to 19 victory over the San Diego Jaguars (0-2). Big plays were plentiful as the Hawks scored on the “offensive, defensive, and special teams” sides of the ball. The Jaguars showed some “big play“ spark of their own as they scored on a long pass the first play from scrimmage.
In the late game, defense was the name of the game as the Alpine Coyotes (1-1) edged the Pine Valley Pumas (1-1) by the score of 8 to 6. The game went down to the wire as the Pumas had an opportunity to win the game from inside the 20 yard line with less than a minute to go in the contest. The Coyotes squelched that opportunity as they picked off a pass to seal the victory.
The two JV teams will meet again next Thursday at 12:30 p.m. at the Kroc.
Next Friday has the Murrieta Hawks playing the Pine Valley Pumas at 1:45 p.m. and the Alpine Coyotes playing the San Diego Jaguars at 2:45 p.m.
