On Friday night our alameda high football team took on their cross-town rivals, the Encinal Jets. The game was hyped up extremely high and there was an estimated 2,000 people there. The game was even televised on 2 different channels and there was also known to be plenty of scouts in attendance. The final score of the game was 45-41: Encinal. As you can see it was an extremely good game and both sides battled valiantly but just like in every game that is played, there can only be one winner. The game started with Alameda getting the edge over Encinal and it being a 14-7 game but Encinal came back with two blocked punts that both set up for touchdowns and put the Jets up 21-14. At halftime it wasn’t known who was going to win the game but it looked as if Alameda had the most heart when it came down to tick for tack, but once Encinal got that first lead they never looked back. There were touchdowns on the alameda side from Andrew Cooper, Zac Alfers,  Keelan Doss, Antonio Manibusian and Sulaiman Hameed. Despite all of the effort from the Hornets , the Encinal Jets came out with the Win.

                This was the 57^th anniversary of this glorified Island Bowl between Alameda High’s Hornets and Encinal’s  Jets. This particular game will go down in the books for being on of the better games because Encinal is known for just blowing Alameda off the field and the Hornets put up a hell of a fight.
