Pee Wee Jaguars come up short, 8-6

The Fountain Valley Pee Wee Jaguars lost a tough defensive battle

to the La Mirada Matadores Saturday, falling, 8-6, in Junior All-American

Football action.

Following a scoreless first half, La Mirada scored on its initial

possession of the second half, then converted a two-point conversion to

go up, 8-0.

Viken Bitar set up the Jaguars offensively with an interception at the

La Mirada 15 yard line, and Fountain Valley converted the miscue into a

touchdown when Bryan Schutte scored on a three yard run.

Schutte, running behind an offensive line consisting of Martin Duran,

Brandon Cooke, Coby Mason, Kevin Loyola, and Andrew Schneider, rushed for

137 yards on 24 carries to lead the Jaguars.

Eric Ceja paced the Jaguar defense with nine tackles, while Eric

Faamausili, Cody Steiner, and Mark Cubberly contained La Mirada’s wing T

offense for much of the game.

The Pee Wee Jaguars, now 3-2, travel Saturday to take on the Newport

Mesa Seahawks (3-1-1).
