The JAGS went into San Bernardino, one of the toughest places in Southern California and came out with a crucial win against the Wolverines who were 2-0 in league as were the JAGS.  A very physical game was dominated by the JAGS defense who kept constant pressure on the QB for SBVC.  The JAGS continue to battle in week 9 with an 8-0 record. 

OFFENSE:  The JAG offense sputtered most of the night while turning the ball over 6 times… 3 on the first 3 possessions.  Sophomore MIKE GLASS (McCluer North HS / St. Louis Missouri) was the difference maker this week with two rushing TD's and a TD pass to freshman WR MARQUISE WILLIAMS (Fr. Lopez HS, Daytona Beach FL).

COACHES CORNER… MT. SAN JACINTO 2016

JAGS BEAT MSJC 38-14… MOVE TO 7-0… ON TO SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY COLLEGE IN SAN BERNARDINO.

The JAG defense came out to play right out of the gate while our offense went 3 and out four times in a row.  We took a 14-7 half time lead and came out scoring.  Our kickoff team pinned the Eagles back inside their 10 yard line and the defense held them.  The JAG offense got the ball twice with under 20 yds to go for a TD.  The team overcame injuries to starters by role players stepping up and  making contributions.

OFFENSE: 
The story for the day for the offense was the running of our two starting RB's ISAIH STRAYHORN (Eastlake HS) and GEREMIAH SATELE (Chapin HS).  Both rushed for over 200 yds and the offense overall for over 300 yds.  Freshman WR DAVIN REYNOLDS (Duquene HS) caught a 30 yard TD pass.  The challenge for this week is the overall defensive speed San Bernardino Valley has on defense.  The best we have faced so far.

DEFENSE : 
Pressure on the QB with 8 total sacks set the tone for the defense.  ANDREW RAFFE (Chula Vista HS) led the defense with 6 total tackles and 5 tackles for loss.  Freshman LB SERGIO AYON (Otay Ranch HS) intercepted his second pass of the season.  Sophomore safety DONNELL PLEASANT (Lincoln HS) was second in tackles and rushed for 2 TD's in our short yardage RAMBO offense.

SPECIAL TEAMS:
The kickoff team continues to rock and force Eagle the offense to get started near their own goal post.  #10 Freshman JAY HARTLEY (Smithsburg HS) led the kickoff team with 2 kickoff tackles.  Sophomore place kicker AEDON JOHNSON got back on track with a field goal from 41 yds.
