Jr. All-American Football
The Fountain Valley Jaguars reached into their bag of tricks on
Halloween weekend to produce their only score of the game, and the
trickery worked to perfection as the Jaguars held on for an 8-7 victory
over the visiting Corona Panthers in a Pee Wee Division contest played at
Fountain Valley High.
Quarterback Jimmy Leeman completed a pass to Daniel Rodriguez, who then
pitched the ball to Ahmed Abdelmuti, who raced 30 yards for the
touchdown.
That was the only score by the Fountain Valley offense, and the Jaguar
defense took over from there.
Edgar Santana recovered a fumble, Wayne Glisson intercepted a pass, and
Isaiah Wilson intercepted the Panthers on their final possession to stop
a Corona drive, and the Jaguars went on to run out the clock.
Fountain Valley plays its final regular season game Saturday, hosting the
Orange West Chiefs in a 1 p.m. start at Fountain Valley High.
