From The Den
The Mitey Cat defense did a great job. Daniel Hernandez, Julian Garcia and Duce Meszaros came out hitting hard as Jenna Palacios of the Mitey Cat Cheer squad watched her older brother, Andrew.

Thundercats’ quarterback Jason Guerrero stepped up his game and ran for a touchdown. Adam Arenas scored a touchdown as well, but it was the defensive play of Gennaro Fiorillo and Alex Le Pham that helped the T-Cats get the 14-0 shutout.

The Panthers won a hard-hitting battle against a very good Cambrian Valley team. The offense steadily pounded the running game with Paul Rosa Jr. running for over 200 yards and four touchdowns. The defense, led by Onyx Smith and anchored by Isaia Sasa, Vincent Santoro and Jose Sanchez, earned their fourth shutout of the season, and the secondary provided three interceptions. The Panthers won 26 – 0 and remain undefeated at 7-0.

Lions fought a hard battle. The Santa Clara Lions faced the Almaden Mustangs, both teams coming in to the game with a 5-1 record. The Lions that scored first, but the story this week is not about the players that you always hear about, it is about the players that stepped up in a big game. Robert Najar caught a 28-yard pass from Kelly and another late in the game to keep the Lions in it. Thomas O’Donnell and Xander Zell stepped up on defense, but the Lions lost 22-28.
