VCHS Powder Puff Football 2011

In a thrilling defensive battle, the class of 2011 defeated the class of 2012 by a score of 6-0 in this year's Powder Puff Football Classic at Valley Center High School.
The seniors scored early in the first half when tailback Kelly Hagadorn took a pitch from quarterback Victoria Navarro and rumbled in from four yards out for the touchdown, bowling over defenders and stretching the ball across the goal line for the score.

Junior Midget
Valley Center's Junior Midget Jaguars faced off against the Fallbrook Warriors at Valley Center High School for a battle of their division's first place title.
After four quarters of tough football, the Jaguars came out on top, 16–6.
On Fallbrook's first possession, the Jaguar defense forced a fumble and recovered the ball near midfield. Behind a physical offensive line, the Jags marched the ball down the field setting up a two-yard touchdown run by Damien DeJesus. Ryan Semon made good on the extra point kick for a two-point conversion in Pop Warner rules.
Fallbrook, however, answered back with touchdown run on a 60-yard quarterback keeper. The kick failed, making the score 8–6 at the end of the first quarter.
Following a great lead block by best friend DeJesus, Dalton Larrabee broke free down the left sideline and outran Fallbrook's defense for a 65-yard touchdown run. Semon converted the kick making the score 16–6.
The Jaguar defense stopped the remaining Warrior drives with Matt Doyle intercepting a desperate last-minute pass attempt to preserve the win.
This Saturday, the 7–0 Junior Midget Jaguars play their last league game against Carlsbad at a location to be announced before entering playoffs.
