Yellow Jackets Stung Jerseys The Fightin' jerseys lost the game against the Edcouch-Elsa Yel- low Jackets. This game was the last game for the Fightin' Jersey Football team. The injuries to the team were noticed as the Yellow Jackets took an early lead and made it hard for the Jerseys to stop their penetra- tions into Jersey territory. The Jerseys mounted a drive in the latter part of the second quar- ter to end up on the Yellow jacket one yard line. With fourth and goal the jerseys scored when quar- terback Lee Cruz, taking over for the injured Joel Hinojosa, threw a touchdown pass to Albert Rod- riquez. This made the score 14-6.
