With 12 seconds remaining on the clock, the Jones High School Tigers dove into the end zone to steal the lead from the Seabreeze flag football team. The Sandcrabs could not recover and lost 12-7 in their second game of the season on Tuesday, March 22.
Seabreeze quarterback Chelsea McQuarrie returned to the gridiron with a vengeance after a broken arm stopped her from playing in the District championship game last season. She completed 15 passes for a total of 209 yards, rushed for 30 yards, had seven sacks and scored the extra point.
“I’m totally recovered but I’ve got a few little scars to prove it,” she said. “Cheer gives me all of my endurance. You go for two minutes and 30 seconds straight with no breaks at all in the routines.”
“I think we did really well. We still have a long ways to go but we played a really good, athletic team. They had some tall girls—athletic. This team beat the Evans team 44 nothing last night. We lost by 5 points.”

Junior varsity and varsity games got off to a late start due to Jones’ travel time from Orlando. This season, the Florida High School Athletic Association has assigned them to District 10 with Seabreeze. Sandcrab running back Emmaline Caputo was not fazed by the delay.
“I think just getting the chance to play, everybody was happy about,” she said. “We have had a couple of games canceled because of weather. We were a little bit annoyed but it wasn’t a big deal. We were here to play.”
Head coach Todd Barnes believes his team has the speed to compete against the areas top teams and knows they need to work on tightening their plays to capitalize on first down opportunities.
“I think we did really well,” he said. “We still have a long ways to go but we played a really good, athletic team. They had some tall girls—athletic. Some looked like they were 5-10, 5-11. This team beat the Evans team 44-nothing last night. We lost by 5 points.”
Wide receivers Morgan Long and Avery Dellinger are looking forward to the rest of the season.
“We are excited for another go at Mainland,” Dellinger said. “We played them last season and we did not meet our expectations. We are excited to come back with a stronger team this year and hoping to come out with a win.”
