Fallbrook drops homecoming game to Valley Center

The Valley Center Jaguars (4-2, 2-0) scored early and often to pull away from the Fallbrook Warriors (0-7, 0-2) and race to a 49-0 win on homecoming night at Fallbrook High, Friday, Oct. 4.

The Warriors, who appear to be improving week after week, were unable to get much moving on offense and Warriors quarterback Jared McDonald was under pressure most of the evening.

After trading punts early in the first quarter, the Jaguars rattled off four straight touchdowns, running for two scores, passing for another and blocking a punt and recovering for a fourth score.

The first quarter ended with the Jaguars in full control of the game 28-0.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Jaguars got on the board again with a rushing touchdown and the half ended 35-0. The third quarter saw the Jaguars score through the air to go up 42-0 before scoring once more through the air to close out the scoring at 49-0.

Senior Valley Center quarterback Frank Stehly completed 4 passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for one more. The Jaguars' running back Kyler Riche rushed 12 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns.

After a bye week to regroup, the Warriors will be on the road Friday, Oct. 18, against the Ramona Bulldogs (0-6, 0-1), who lost 14-7 last week to San Pasqual.

Frosh update: The Warriors freshman football team extended their undefeated season another week by pulling out a late win over Valley Center 13-8.
