The North 7th grade football teams enjoyed a great night Monday taking all 3 games from the East Broncos. In the C team opener Antonio Romo started the scoring with a 51 yard TD run to give the Cougars a quick 6-0 lead. After a Bronco TD, Caiden Norris, who also had a fumble recovery, intercepted a pass and got the ball back for the Cougars. Jack Garcia scored on a 37 yard TD keeper. Kyle Mobley caught the PAT pass from Garcia and the Cougars regained the lead 13-6. In the 3rd quarter Mobley, who also caused a fumble, caught a short pass and took it 53 yards for the score. Garcia's PAT run made it 20-6. Good defense, led by Rio Kagao's TFL and Alexis Eusebio's sack, helped seal the 20-6 victory. 

In the B game Chaz Null caught a 8 yard TD pass from Noah Iommi to give the Cougars a 6-0 lead. Nate Eppleman, after a 44 yard run, scored from the 6 an Mason Marx caught a PAT pass from Iommi for a 13-0 lead.  Will Nester who had 2 TFL, and Nick Kho, who had 1 TFL, led a tough North defense and the Cougars soon had the ball back. Drew Geltemeyer, who had a monster game with a TFL and a sack, took a reverse 80 yards for the TD and the Cougars led 19-0.
