JAG'S TAKE A STEP FORWARD. BEAT VICTOR VALLEY 39-37

This past Saturday the JAG'S earned their first victory of the 2007 season with a wild finish 39-37. The JAG'S moved out to a 16-0 lead in the game only to see a series of odd plays occur that brought the Rams back into the game.

There were many hero's to go around for the JAG'S, the defensive line continues to improve and play at their expected level. Sophomore L.J. BROWN (6'5, 280 lbs / FLORIDA) had his best game of the season with 5 tackles / tackle for loss / four tiped passes and a sack. Fellow sophomore end TORY ROBINSON (6'5 275 lbs / MT. MIGUEL HS) had 10 total tackles / tackle for loss and a fumble forced. Freshman DT WAYMAN CASEY (6'7 315 lbs / UNIV of TULSA) dominated the Ram OL with 3 tackles for loss and 3 sacks on the day. Sophomore DT RYAN KING (6'1 270 llbs / EL CAJON VALLEY HS) had a breakout game with 4 total tackles and a sack. Sophomore DT ALEX OUJI (6'2 255 lbs / BONITA VISTA HS) had two tackles / two sacks and a fumble recovery.

At the LB position, sophomore JIMMY VIDANO (5'10 205 lbs / STEELE CANYON HS) played the game of his life with 13 total tackles / 3 of the tackles were for loss... he dominated play from his position. JIMMY also deep snaps for the JAG'S on PAT/FG and PUNT

In the special teams area our one two punch of kickoff specialist ABLE PEREZ (CASTLE PARK HS) 5 touchbacks (we kick from the 30 yard line, that means ABLE kicks the ball between 75 and 80 yards in the air! Better than most NFL kickers) and freshman MARCUS FLORES (GROSSMONT HS). MARCUS punted in the high 40's and made two more field goals (long of 47 yards). Between the kickoffs and punts we dominated field position. Add in the punt returns of freshman LORENZO FLOYD (5'11 170 lbs / FLORIDA) and the kicking game set the table.

Offensively we are scoring points... sophomore QB DREW WESTLING (6'3 220 lbs / UNIV of TULSA) had another big night, 17 of 31 for 265 yds and four TD's... 3 of the TD's went to sophomore receiver KEVIN PIKE (6'0 170 lbs / HILLTOP HS). PIKE made a spectacular one handed catch in the back of the end zone for his second TD. Sophomore MIKE PAGE (5'8 165 lbs / MSJC) had his best night with 5 catches. Freshman RB KENSLOW SMITH (5'7 190 / HELIX HS) continues to impress as he leads the JAG'S in rushing and total receptions.

It is BYE WEEK for the JAG'S. With four games remaining in the 2007 season we are playing our best football of the season. We will reopen play against the 2-3 San Diego Mesa Olympians in two weeks at Mesa College 5"00 pm.

GO JAG'S
