Game Summary
After winning by forfeit in week 3 the Yellow Jackets were ready to go in week 4 with a home game against the Palo Alto Knights at the Novato High School field. While the day was hot the Yellow Jackets were hotter as they shut down the visiting team for their fourth straight win of the season.
Novato opened the scoring with a 31-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jack Burnham to tight-end Joe Kelly for a 6-0 lead at 8:00 in the first quarter. Ben Putman jumped on a fumble later in the half on one of Novato's fine defensive stands. The defense actually scored next when they sacked the Knights quarterback in the end-zone for a safety with :32 left in the half for an 8-0 lead.
Novato controlled the ball for nearly all of the second half. After a quarter-long drive the Yellow Jackets scored on a 1-yard touchdown run by Robbie Cassee for a 12-0 lead with 8:45 in the fourth quarter.
Danny Dreher promptly got the ball back by pouncing on a mishandled Palo Alto lateral. After a rare four-and-out the stifling Yellow Jacket defense struck again as Nate Barkus intercepted a short Knights pass and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown. With a Jackson Wegner 2-point PAT Novato culminated the scoring at 24-0 with 2:19 left in the game.
Final Score: Novato Yellow Jackets 24, Palo Alto Knights 0
Season Record: 4-0
Points Allowed: 12
Next Up: Elk Grove Dukes at 2 pm on Sunday, October 3 at Novato High School.
