Mounties Come Up Short In State Football Championship Game
Early City College of San Francisco lead is too much to overcome for the Mounties
December 10, 2011
(San Francisco, CA) The early 28-0 lead by City College of San Francisco was too much to overcome for the Mountie Football Team who ended up scoring 42 points to the Rams, 52 points. Although the Mounties had many opportunities to win the game, the Rams defense played tough when it mattered, including stopping two Mountie goal line stands. After some adjustments later in the game, the Mounties Offense was a scoring machine, easily scoring 4 touchdowns in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately, the Rams also made some adjustments, scoring 2 touchdowns late in the game (3:53 and 0:41 left in the game) to push them over the top and capture their 6th California Community College Athletic Association Football Championship.

Freshman Linebacker, Julian Gener (Bishop Amat H.S.) was named the CCCAA State Championship Defensive Player of the Game.

The Mounties finish the season with a 11-2 overall record, a conference, National Bowl and Southern California Championship. Congratulations to Conference Coach of the Year, Bob Jastrab, his staff and student/athletes for another outstanding football season.
