Night of festivities, lopsided win features something for everyone

The stars were aligned for the biggest night in Windsor High School sports history on Friday, as the Jaguars unveiled their new all-weather field and track.
An estimated spillover crowd of 3000 rabid fans gathered early to christen what is now known as Ian Kirkpatrick Stadium, witnessing an emotional ribbon-cutting ceremony just before kickoff. Dozens of school administrators, boosters, politicians, and supporters took part in the celebration, the reward for years of planning and effort.
All this, and there was still a Homecoming football game to be played.
The Jaguars did their part in putting an exclamation point on a glorious night, easily defeating the visiting El Molino Lions, 52-13.
“The new field was beautiful and the crowd was great, so we felt a little more pressure to go out and play well,” said senior linebacker Teddy Van Bebber, who turned in a stellar outing with nine solo tackles and six assists. “We’re all brothers on this team and when one brother goes down, we all pull together,” he added, referring to the season-ending injury to star running back Cameron Erion.
The Jags took all suspense out of the game early, scoring touchdowns on all six first-half possessions to grab an insurmountable, 42-13 lead at the break.
Senior quarterback DJ King got the party started on the Jag’s first possession, marching his team 66 yards for a touchdown. The drive was highlighted by a 41-yard run by receiver Michael Campbell and capped with a 10-yard scoring burst from wide-out Jimmy Reed. Joel Castenada added the PAT boot and Windsor led 7-0.
The swarming Jaguar defensive unit, which would record a total of seven sacks and four interceptions, forced an El Mo punt. Windsor used a good run-back from Lorenzo Camarena and a short field to mount a 41-yard march culminating in a 16-yard touchdown run by Steven Hutchison. The Jags led 14-0 at the end of one.
The flood-gates opened in the second period, as King connected with wide-out Miles Williams on a 31-yard scoring strike for a three-touchdown advantage.
Campbell picked off the first of his three interceptions on the night on El Mo’s next series, setting up a 30-yard scoring run by King and a 28-0 lead.
The Lions got on the board on their next possession, as quarterback Michael Pierson found H-back Joe Douglass on a 30-yard touchdown strike, cutting the deficit to 28-7.
The Jags effectively put the game on ice on their next two possessions, finding pay-dirt on a 37-yard touchdown run by King, followed by a 24-yard scoring burst by Hutchison. The Lions would get an 11-yard touchdown strike from Pierson to sophomore receiver Chet Lambert to make it a 42-13 ballgame at the break.
Windsor used the big lead to make wholesale substitutions after intermission, emptying their entire bench.
Campbell brought the crowd to its feet early in the third quarter with his third interception of the night, this a 64-yard pick-six that gave Windsor a 49-13 bulge.
With back-up quarterback Lorenzo Camarena replacing King, the Jags employed regular defenders Van Bebber and Cody Paz at half-back, and both responded by running the ball effectively. Windsor capped the evening’s offensive fireworks with a 25-yard field goal from Casteneda en route to a 52-13 win.
King continued to make a statement for league MVP, gaining 121 of 360 total rushing yards and three touchdowns.
