It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. That was the story of Friday’s season opener for the Boulder Creek Jaguars football team. It’s also a saying first year Cactus Shadows coach Greg Davis hopes will ring true about the 2011 Falcons following a 48-20 loss. In a game that would eventually be a blowout, the visiting Falcons, with a team featuring only a handful of players with any significant varsity experience, took it to the more experienced Jaguars for a quarter and a half. Despite arguably outplaying the Jaguars overall in the first half the Falcons found themselves trailing 21-13 thanks to a pair of Marquis Bundy touchdowns and a goal-line stand by the Boulder Creek defense. “That quick-strike ability is something I think we’ll have working in our favor throughout the season,” coach Dan Friedman said. “I want to be able to have a methodical offense that can march it down the field too, because you can wear out your defense if you’re always scoring with the big play, but you’re never going to complain about scoring.”

Barely breaking stride he managed to pick the ball back up and go all the way for a score. “I just lost it,” Bundy said. “I don’t know why, but I picked it right back up. When I looked up after I got it back I saw that I had a chance to score.” In the second quarter, with his team trailing 13-7, senior
quarterback Trevor Bonifasi rolled right and lofted a pass down the sideline, finding Bundy, who would once again go the distance, this time on a 51-yard pass. “Trevor threw an amazing pass,” Bundy said. “I’d dropped one earlier and I wasn’t going to let that happen again.” Jaguars coach Dan Friedman said his team’s slow start was largely self-induced. “Offensively the thing for us was we finally stopped shooting ourselves in the foot,” he said. “We fumbled on the first series
