The Peanut 49ers and Jets squared off for the second time this season and as most people expected it was a battle from the start. The first quarter was a defensive struggle but before the half ended, the 49ers offense got into a rhythm led by Vincent Fisher and Jame Grassi. Great contributions were made by Brandon McGill and Jeffrey Lopez. On the defensive side for the 49ers, Andres Martinez stopped more than one touchdown attempted by the Jets. Coach Cappellino and Coach Simmons, as always, were proud of the efforts of all of their 49ers. Game balls were presented to Andre Martinez and Trevor Clark. FULL STORY
