 Marauder Varsity Football goes
undefeated
The "play
hard" mentality of the team could be seen from the get go when Jesuit stuffed the
Titans' offense and put up a field goal after getting the ball back making the score 3-0
in favor of the Marauders. Then, as the clock kept ticking, the Marauder power roared
through
Remember, next week is first round of playoffs and a must win situation for any time, because losing one game means losing the entire season. The mighty Jesuit Marauders will go up against the powerful number four ranked Yuba City squad at Jesuit on Saturday 21, 1998 at 1:00pm. Be sure to be there and support the Marauders on their journey to Section Championships by first battling Yuba City. Bring as many Jesuit fans as you can and join the Sixth Man. Go Marauders!!

After
listening to the National Anthem, the Seniors on the Marauder squad realized this was the
last time they would hear the musical notes for a regular season game. With this thought
in mind, the Seniors took on a great role in leading the rest of the Jesuit Varisty
football team to a 52-28 victory over the Burbank Titans. Coming into the game against the
big Titans, Jesuit was powered by an experienced and motivational coaching staff
consisting of Head Coach Daniel Carmazzi, Line Coach Ross Evans, Coach Tim Beers, Coach
George Harper, and other talented instructors. Coach Carmazzi had prepared his team for
the game both mentally and physically knowing that this would be an emotional game for
some of the Seniors.
Burbank's defense as Junior
full back Jeff Reiman powered his way three yards to get into the endzone adding seven
points to the score. The Marauder defense would do just the same when Junior defensive
tackle Ashur Benjamin sacked the Titan quarterback on a third down play forcing the Titans
to punt. The sack brought up the intensity of both the team and the crowd and could have
been one of the major factors in the game. Then it was time for the almighty Pep Band lead
by Mr. O'Neal to pump up the Marauders and they did just that when quarterback Brian Karns
connected with Ryan Parilo for a forty yard touchdown pass the and the scoreboard read
17-0 Jesuit. Jesuit was too much too handle for the Burbank Titans and that could be seen
when the first half ended with Jesuit up 24-0.
The second half was a mirror image of the first
with both Jeff Reiman and Charles Bell getting their share of rushing yards and a couple
of touchdowns to bring up the score. No words exist to explain the power and speed of
fullback and linebacker Jeff Reiman who was recently written about in the Sacramento Bee
for his football talents. Then, when you put Charles Bell and K.C. Maxwell into the
picture, you get three superstars with tremendous abilities. On top of that, Seniors Ben
Sharpe and James Jiminez scored touchdowns piling the score to a whopping 52-0.
However, the Titans would rally back by scoring on a quarterback
draw and then on a run trying to balance the scoreboard a bit by making the score 52-16.
But Burbank still had more left, they scored two more touchdowns before the game would end
bringing the score up to 52-28 Jesuit. It was a hard fought game and the Varsity Jesuit
Marauders would go on to an undefeated season.
