Westminster 33 Final Score

The Jaguars (5-3) came up short in a hard fought battle for first place against Westminster, 33-28 Thursday night.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Jaguars scored four touchdowns on seven possessions. Unfortunately, it was the three non scoring drives plagued by mistakes and turnovers that ultimately made the difference.

Frankie Partida was the scoring leader, by receiving a touchdown pass from Brian Murrietta and rushing for two more.

The scoring came from touchdown runs of 30, 65 and 10 yards by Gabriel Roa. Running back Robert Sevilla, Elisha Thomas, and Jimmy Guiterrez and receiver Vince Aranda helped set up those touchdown runs. The defense also stepped up and prevents the Seahawks from moving the ball and keeping them off the scoreboard.
