Windsor out for redemption this Friday at Del Oro
The varsity football Jaguars took their lumps in week two of the high school season on Friday, weathering a 68-0 shellacking at the hands of the visiting Freedom Falcons.
The loss came on the heels of a 30-22 win over Casa Grande and pushed Windsor’s preseason record to 1-1.
“The game was a tough one,” Jags head coach Brad Stibi said. “Freedom was very explosive and our offense struggled to move the ball both on the ground and by air. The special teams also struggled and made too many mental mistakes.”
The Jaguars will be looking to rebound this Friday, Aug. 31 when they visit Del Oro High School in Loomis. The Golden Eagles, a powerhouse from the Sierra Foothill League, are fresh off a 58-20 win over Oak Grove. Varsity kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
Jags take one on the chin
The visiting Falcons dominated the game in all phases on Friday, out-gaining the Jaguars 338-98 in total yards.
Among the few bright spots for Windsor was the continued strong play of junior running back Lorenzo Leon, who led the offense with 28 rushing yards. Junior quarterback Nick Pariani completed 11 of 21 pass attempts for 61 yards, while top receivers were juniors Landen Estrella (6-45 yards) and Jake Seivers (4-36 yards).
Leading tacklers included Mikey Contreras (6), Jeremiah Pignataro (6), Christian Jernigan (5 tackles, 1 assist), Oscar Mayorga (5) and Leon (4 tackles, 1 INT).
