It took a few weeks, but the King County Jaguars finally started to come together Saturday night at French Field.<\/p>\n
Behind a pair of touchdown passes from Micah Prescott and a third from Kent-Meridian product Evan Cochran, the Jaguars turned back the Snohomish County Thunder 39-12 in a North American League football game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was good to see the team come together and actually play,\u201d said coach Mike Astley. \u201cThey looked like a unit for the first time this year, which is a good thing. The win is a big one for the team. Now the question is, can this group of young men take this as a confidence builder? I hope so.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Thunder took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter before the Jags erupted for three scores to take a 17-6 lead into halftime. The Thunder got within five points at 17-12 early in the third quarter before King County shut the door by ending the game by posting 22 unanswered points.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the first win of the season for the Jags (1-1). More importantly, however, the offense finally began to click. The Jaguars came into the game having been outscored 56-13 in its previous two games, including a 29-0 loss to Grays Harbor in a preseason showdown.<\/p>\n
Snohomish County simply couldn\u2019t stop the Jaguars\u2019 vaunted rushing attack, which racked up 264 yards of offense. Richard Stuart led the ground game, going for 117 yards on 11 carries.<\/p>\n
Garret Cayson also enjoyed a strong game for King County, pulling in one touchdown reception and recovering a Thunder fumble for another score.<\/p>\n
In addition, Cochran wasn\u2019t the only K-M product to deliver as Jacob Foyston, another former Royal, added a touchdown of his own.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of a sudden, it just started clicking,\u201d Astley said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
