Despite a pair of leads in the first half, the Bulldogs fell in their Channel League showdown to drop out of a first-place tie in the standings.

The Yellowjackets (2-2) dropped to 0-2 in Channel League play with their second straight home loss, despite a 80-yard TD pass from Andrew Maria to Elijah Aragon in the second quarter.

With under 30 seconds remaining, Deacon Hill dropped back and unleashed a fast ball into the end zone that cut through the driving rain in the direction of Jake Knecht, but Sunny Hills defensive back Wilson Cal jumped the post route and hauled in a game-clinching interception that lifted the Lancers to a 24-21 victory.

In a game that had fewer players due to the Varsity team taking a few away, the JV team still hadn’t lost their touch. The offense still had a great ground game and it didn’t lack in a receiver core and they still had the QB that could deliver a great ball and could scramble for some yardage if needed. The offense did a very good job with putting up the points. Special teams was a force to be reckoned with, being able to make sure that Cabrillo didn’t claim a lot of yards in the returns. The JV defense is definitely a force, as once again they proved to be one of the stingiest defensive teams in the game, not allowing Cabrillo a chance at seeing the end zone other than when they were trying to defend it. This year’s team has the chance for a perfect season with only DP Chargers left to play. So another wonderful game by our boys and girls and now to get ready for the last game and a chance to wipe out all of our divisional teams. Great job Dons and coaching staff, I tip my hat to you all.
