UC CENTURIONS SPEARED BY SERRA CONQUISTADORS

The University City (UC) Centurions suffered a tough 27-13 loss to the Serra Conquistadors in a non-league football game at Serra last Friday, Sept. 23.

UC jumped out to an early 7-0 lead when senior running back Jordan Green gathered in a six-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Jack Minnick with 6:06 left in the first quarter.

With the score all tied up at 7-7, Green got into the end zone once again, this time on a touchdown run from three yards out to give the Centurions a cushion of 13-7 with 4:35 remaining in the second quarter.

Unfortunately for UC, that was as close as they would get as the Conquistadors would pull away and clinch the victory in the second half.

With the loss, the Centurions saw their record fall to 2-2 on the young season.

Meanwhile, senior running back Kenneth Martey matriculated the ball 55 yards on eight carries, but it wasn’t quite enough as the La Jolla Vikings (1-3) were shutout 34-0 by the St. Augustine Saints at Mesa College.

SERRA CONQUISTADORS 34, UC CENTURIONS 7

The University City (UC) Centurions suffered a tough 34-7 loss to the Serra Conquistadors in a Western League football game at Serra on Friday, October 16. “A lot of good things are happening for our guys,” said UC coach John Hutsel. “Now, we need to get it to reflect in the win-loss column and have it show up on the scoreboard.” Against the Conquistadors, the Centurions actually did get on the scoreboard first with a 70-yard drive on the opening possession of the game. That’s when junior running back Parris Jordan jolted Serra with a 12-yard touchdown run to give UC an early 7-0 lead with 9:26 left in the first quarter. Jordan had four carries for 66 yards on the drive, including a nice 51-yard run to bring the ball down to the Conquistador 15-yard line. “It’s a process,” said Hutsel. “We just have to keep competing.” The Centurions started to show signs of wanting to compete by stuffing kick returner Blake Bailey at the Serra 1-yard line and holding the Conquistadors to three pla
