CBC Sports: Week 9
Anyway, back to the Wildcats and Panthers. Junior QB, Cameron Grant, led
the Cat's well balanced offense, dishing off to backs Jahari Darden (who
came into the game averaging over 100 yards rushing), and outstanding
sophomore speedster, Daniel Excinia. Darden finished over his average, with
114 yds, while Excinia finished with 138 yds rushing, 137 in the second
half. Grant completed 10 of 15 passes for another 148 yards. The Cat's O
Line, with Jon Alvarado, Damaso, Daniel Sanders, and Michael Butler, among
others, paved a good trail for the Cat's Pro-Set offense schemes.
Sunnyside's defense rose to the occasion in the second half behind the likes
of Alvarado, Derrick Ricks, Sean Guzman (big interception), and Quinell
Atkins. The Cats look pretty wild in that they have a lot of juniors and
sophomores who will be coming back next year. Coach Shannon Pulliam was
happy with the win. "Very pleased with the way the kids responded in the
second half. We are sure looking forward to the playoffs", said the smiling
coach. He must be smiling also about the fact that the Sunnyside JV team is
undefeated, and the Cat's frosh team is also having a fine year. The Cats
finish the regular season this week vs McLane, and would need a Roosevelt
victory over Fresno High to finish the NYL in a tie with Warriors. Then
there's those CIF playoffs just around the corner.
While this hasn't been the best year for the Panthers of San Joaquin
Memorial, it hasn't been a bad year either, an they also have a lot of young
talent to look forward to. Coach Anthony Goston is building the Panthers
back into contention in the Valley football fortunes. Against Sunnyside, SJM
got fine performances from junior QB, Daniel Whittemore, who was 8 for 12
throwing, for 93 yards. Whittemore has been filling in for the injured
Blake Stanley. Seasoned veterans, Anthony Soto and Rocco DiCicco played
outstanding for the Panthers on both offense and defense, both gaining big
yards and coming up with big tackles. The Panthers also have a tough
core of good players coming back next year. Alex Coyle, Thomas Kilgore,
Sullivan Groz, David Garcia, and inparticular, Nate Delana, are all
underclassmen. SJM will have to beat top ranked Edison this week in order
to finish this season with a .500 mark at 5 and 5. Tall order indeed.
