INTER SQUAD SCRIMAMGE BREAKDOWN.

007 INTER SQUAD SCRIMAMGE:

Off to a good start on both sides of the ball, the JAGUARS battled it out at DeVore Stadium this past Friday night in a full contact scrimmage. We had the opportunity to work numerous key "situations" in offense, defense and the kicking game.

With numerous weeks to pass and play pass defense, the big question was the running game on both sides of the ball. Four RB's had good games... projected starter KENSLOW SMITH (HELIX HS) ran the ball well inside on the "Zone" play. He is an aggressive "one cut" running back that knows the Goal Line is straight ahead. Fellow freshman AJ VINES (HORIZON HS) has been physical since we put pads on. He has size to run between the tackles and has been punishing tacklers. Freshman JOSE DURAN (HILLTOP HS) was a big surprise scoring on a zone play to his left. He ran with a good pad level and was aggressive cutting.

Up on the line, red shirt freshman guard PHILLIP YANDALL (LEONE HS, SAMOA) is one of the most improved players on the team. He has the at 6'3 290 lbs and is extremely agile for a big man. He did a great job drive blocking the down lineman. True freshman JOSE BAEZ (EASTLAKE HS) started the scrimamge at center. Working in his first live setting snapping shot gun snaps performed well and go the ball there. BAEZ is one of the strongest players on the team with a bench press over 400 lbs. Sophomore Center / Guard BRIAN McINNISH (HILLTOP HS) 6'5 280 lbs. got extensive work at the tackle position.

On the defensive line our two sophomore ends, LJ BROWN (FLORIDA) 6'5 285lbs and TORY ROBINSON (MT. MIGUEL HS) 6'5 280 lbs. both played well. BROWN intercepted a screen pass and ran it back for a TD. ALEX OUJI (BONITA VISTA HS) played his best so far.

In the kicking game, sophomore kicker ANDREW MORALES (MARIAN CATHOLIC HS) and freshman MARCUS FLORES (GROSSMONT HS) both kicked the ball well. In the 2007 season, the kickoff will move back to the 30 yard line to increase kick off returns. Kicking from the 30, FLORES put the ball on the goal line, a 70 yard kick. MORALES finished off the scrimmage with a 35 yard field goal.

In the secondary, freshman corner LORENZO FLOYD (DAYTONA BEACH HS( intercepted his 5th pass in the last four practices. In a jump ball setting he came down with the ball while competing with his roommate CURTIS MITCHELL (also from FLORIDA).

The JAGUARS will travel to FULLERTON COLLEGE (the actual site is Fullerton HS District Stadium) this Thursday for a final "tune up" scrimmage on THURSDAY. The scrimmage will begin at 3:30 pm.
