On November 6th the Junior Varsity Jaguars traveled to Santa Ana High to face the Saints. This was an important game for the Jaguars since both teams entered the contest undefeated. The Jaguar offense started out strong scoring on their first offensive drive. QB Max Padilla hooked up with Mynor Garcia for a 42 yard touchdown pass to start the scoring. The offense was led by the hard work of the offensive line that stopped the Saints pass rush and opened up holes for running backs Gary Ferman (1 TD), and Robert Soncrant Jr. (3 TDs). The Jaguar defense again played an important role in the victory. On several of the Saints offensive drives, the Jaguar D held its ground and kept them out of the endzone. One key stop came late in the game when the Jaguars stopped the Saints on the one yard line after four attempts to score. The defense helped to seal the victory by intercepting a pass as the Saints were driving with less than 2 minutes left in the game. Final score 33-21. The Jaguars are 4-0 in league and look to finish the season with their final league game against Saddleback High on November 13th.
