Lion's Win Opener!


The JICS Varsity Football team opened up the 2011 season with a 35 - 18 win over the visiting Titans of Trinity Collegiate.  After a tight, scoreless 1st quarter, both teams put numbers on the board in the 2nd quarter.  JICS opened the scoring with a 53 yd TD run by J'Quan Scott.  The Lions were successful on the two point conversion and then had the lead at 8 - 0.  Trinity's Rutledge Shock intercepted a JICS pass and ran it back 13 yards for the first score for the Titans.  Their two point conversion failed and JICS would hold the lead 8 - 6.  J'Quan Scott added another TD run in the 2nd quarter, this one for 75 yards and Capers Lever followed with a successful run for the 2 point conversion giving the Lions a 16 - 6 lead.  Trinity would answer with an impressive 57 yard TD reception by Shock, but JICS would deny the two point conversion attempt and hold the score at 16 - 12.   JICS QB J'Quan Scott threw a pass that was batted up into the air and then retrieved the pass himself carrying it 41 yards for his 3rd TD of the 1st half. The Lions were unable to make the conversion, but would hold the lead at halftime 22 - 12.   Just as the game started with a scoreless 1st quarter, both teams would come out strong defensively and the third quarter became a stall with neither team adding points to the board.  JICS would open up the 4th quarter with two touchdowns to give them a strong cushion.  Tyler Yoon added his first TD of the season on the back of a 19 yd run and JICS would get one more TD from J'Quan Scott, this one on a 41 yd run.  Griffin Reeder would add the extra point and JICS would hold a commanding 35 to 12 lead late in the 4th quarter.   The Titans of Trinity Collegiate did not give up and came back with a late score of their own behind a 20 yd TD reception by Josh Lesane.  JICS denied the two point conversion one last time and the final score was JICS 35, Trinity 18.
