The Marauder offense scored two more touchdowns in the second half, quarterback Calvin Brownholtz ‘17 and running back Lucas Thayer ‘16 were responsible for the two rushing scores.

“The offense has struggled these last few games, so it felt really good to hit a rhythm, and score 36 points in a league matchup.” said quarterback Calvin Brownholtz ‘17.

Jesuit’s defense earned their second shutout of the season against Sheldon holding them scoreless. It was their first shutout since their week 2 matchup against Yuba City High School in the home opener, when they defeated the Honkers 40-0.

“This defense works really well together, and we were extremely proud of our second shutout of the season” said safety Christian Dyer ‘16.

The Jesuit defense forced two interceptions and two fumbles, which they recovered, to help ensure a shutout against the Huskies.

This Saturday Jesuit (18) will host the Franklin High School Wildcats (9) at 1 P.M., looking to keep their playoff hopes alive.
