Jr. Midgets -Broncos 8, Seahawks 0
Coming off an impressive 24-18 win against league powerhouse Palo Alto in last week’s jamboree, the Seahawks had high expectations. However after four quarters, San Benito was on the short end of an 8-0 loss to the Southern Marin Broncos over the weekend.
The game started out well for the Seahawks when Angel Jimenez set the offense up by running the opening kickoff back for 37 yards across midfield. But the Seahawks could not move the ball and were forced to turn it over to the Broncos.
The Seahawks defense set the tone for the day on the Broncos first offensive play when Kevin Casillas dropped the Bronco running back for a loss. Matt Manley, Michael Camacho & Jimenez continued the trend throughout the first quarter with tough defensive play.
The Bronco defense matched the Seahawks in the second quarter, including an interception that set up the lone score of the day. With good field position, the Broncos punched it across the goal line on a short run. The . conversion gave the Broncos a 8-0 lead.
In the third quarter, the Seahawks drove the ball down to the Broncos two-yard line. R.J. Clark completed several passes on the drive, including key passes to Christian Orozco, and Nick Jackson. Clark also ran the ball picking up first downs along the way. But a fumble stopped the drive.
Sergio Sanchez, Tyler Rodriguez, and Emmanuel Cabada anchored the defense for the remainder of the second half helping shutout the Broncos. Zachery Alnas had a huge hit early fourth quarter.
The Seahawks got the ball back and moved it, but could not find the end zone, and the game ended with the score still 8-0 Broncos.
The team will play its home opener at Anzar High on the Sept. 17 vs. Oak Grove.
