There were some bright spots and some glaring mistakes.<\/p>\n
Add the two together and the home opener this past Saturday at French Field for the King County Jaguars didn\u2019t go exactly as planned. The Jaguars, a Kent-based semipro football team, committed 13 offsides penalties and struggled offensively, falling to the West Sound Saints 27-13 in the fourth-annual Cornucopia Bowl.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe gave them the game,\u201d said Jags coach Mike Astley. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve seen that many (offsides penalties) in one game.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Jags (0-2) will play host to the Snohomish County Thunder at 6 p.m. on Saturday at French Field.<\/p>\n
West Sound set the tone early, bolting out to a 13-0 halftime lead.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars finally struck in the third quarter \u2014 their first touchdown of the year \u2014 on a 17-yard scoring strike from quarterback Micah Prescott to wide receiver Adam Bauer. The touchdown cut the deficit to 13-7, but also was as close as King County would get.<\/p>\n
West Sound tacked on two more touchdowns in the third quarter, pushing its lead to 27-6 going into the final quarter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe made some improvements, but our negatives still continued,\u201d said Astley. \u201cWe finally have some scores on the board \u2026 we have a touchdown in the books.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mat Kasper delivered the biggest highlight for the Jags in the final moments of the fourth quarter, going 77 yards for a touchdown. Kasper finished with 132 yards rushing on just eight carries.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a hell of a player,\u201d Astley said. \u201cHe definitely made an impression.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
