Videos: VCHS football at Orange Glen

In a wild game that came down to the final seconds, the Jaguars nearly came all the way back from a first-half deficit against Orange Glen, eventually falling to the Patriots 42-38 last Friday night.

Here are the video highlights from the game--sorry that it takes a few to get to the good VC plays, but I included most of the key plays from the game to give you an overview of how the game went. Pay special attention to the three-play sequence that begins with the Shaun Woods fumble on the kickoff; beginning with that play, the next two videos happened on the next two plays, making for a three-play, 20-second span in which there were three consecutive turnovers.

Video: VCHS football vs San Pasqual

In a hard-fought, back-and-forth game, the Jaguars lost by only three points to San Pasqual last Friday.

Here are the video highlights from the game, including a pair of controversial decisions by the referees.

Ryan Kleiman connects with Cody Gearhart for a gain of 76 yards on the first play of the game.


Austin Bernard takes it in for a 3-yard touchdown run.


After a bad snap on the extra point try, Michael McInerny scoops up the loose ball and chucks it into the endzone, where Garrett Castner is wide open for the two-point conversion catch.


Gearhart tips this San Pasqual pass and nearly comes down with the interception.


Bernard takes the ball on the sweep and dives across the pylon for a four-yard touchdown.

Gearhart makes a nice catch and hangs on after taking a pretty good hit.


After the Eagles scored a touchdown, Sullivan Shimer makes a big play by blocking the extra point kick.


McInerny makes a great catch along the sideline, but gets flagged for offensive pass interference. If you can find anything on this video that shows pass interference on either player, you've got better eyes than I do.


The Eagles make a fair catch signal on a punt return, but the returner begins running with the ball. The referees blow the play dead, but do not assess any penalty for the delay of game on the San Pasqual return man, saying that the runner took "only two steps" after making the fair catch signal. See if you can count how many steps he takes before the whistle blows.


Matt Preston steps in front of this lobbed pass to get the interception.
