Pee Wee Jaguars fall to Cowboys

Mike Sciacca

The Fountain Valley Jr. Pee Wee Division Jaguars had their AFL

title hopes ended Saturday by the Mission Viejo Cowboys, who posted a

30-13 victory in the division’s championship game.

The Jr. Pee Wee Jaguars could not overcome an early 14-0 deficit and thus

had their season end just one win shy of earning a berth in the upcoming

Super Bowl.

Fountain Valley, however, did narrow the gap to a touchdown when Joshua

Perez broke off tackle for a 40-yard scoring run, and Bryan Schutte’s

conversion brought the Jr. Pee Wee Jaguars to 14-7.

But Mission Viejo regrouped to score the game’s next 16 points to open up

a 30-7 advantage. Although Fountain Valley could not recover, the Jr. Pee

Wee Jaguars did score one final time on Isaiah Romero’s 14-yard scoring

run.

Head Coach Mike Perez’s Jr. Pee Wee Jaguars concluded their successful

season with an overall record of 10-2.

Four members of Fountain Valley’s squad -- Schutte, defensive lineman

Michael Berber, offensive lineman Coby Mason, and defensive back Travis

McNaughton, have been elected to play in the Jr. Pee Wee Division

All-Conference game, which will be held at 5 p.m. Dec. 12 at Cal State

Fullerton.
