Game Summary
The Yellow Jackets travelled to Terra Linda High School for a late season battle of unbeaten teams on a hot Sunday afternoon. The Chargers won the coin toss and elected to receive the opening kick-off. It was the only advantage they would have all day.
The Novato defense firmly established itself on the opening drive, shutting down Central Marin and forcing them to punt on a quick 4-and-out. After getting the ball at the 50 Novato drove the field but eventually gave the ball back on downs at the Charger 12 yard line.
After shutting down the Chargers second drive, Novato quickly took advantage and scored a touchdown on a 3 yard run by Marc Alvarez for a 6-0 lead with 7:13 remaining in the second quarter.
The Novato defense held for the remainder of the first half and went into halftime without yielding a first down.
Novato got the ball first in the second half but gave the ball back to Central Marin on the yard line on a great Alvarez punt. When the defense held tight again the Yellow Jackets offense got started on the Charger side of the field. They struck quickly on a 34-yard Jack Burnham pass and an acrobatic one-handed Nate Barkus catch and run for a touchdown. After adding a 2-point PAT by Jackson Wegner the Jackets led 14-0 at 2:56 in the third quarter.
The Chargers got their first, and only, first-down on a long pass and reception with 1 minute left in the third quarter. The rest of the game proved to be a defensive struggle.
The Chargers took the ball away on an interception with 6:51 left in the game. Novato quickly took it back on an interception by Alec Ball. Ball had a second interception a few minutes later to give Novato the ball deep in Central Marin territory. Time ran out with the Yellow Jackets driving to the Charger 8 yard line.
Final Score: Novato Yellow Jackets 14, Central Marin Chargers 0
Season Record: 6-0
Points Allowed: 12
Next Up: Southern Marin Broncos at 2:00 pm Sunday, October 17 at Redwood High School.
