The Shark Offense didn't fair much better, feeling rushed due to being down most of the afternoon,nervousness set in and They couldn't really get anything started. The Offensive line played well giving QB Clinton Skipton time to find his receivers, however, dropped passes and interceptions kept the Sharks Stalling. (17) Dave Batista back from a Hamstring injury that kept him sidelined for the past 4 weeks had 68 yards rushing, 31 yards Receiving and 2 interceptions. unfortunately after a dazzling run of 48 yards, Dave dislocated his left elbow and will likely not return to the Sharks this season. Its now down to Cross County Rivals, The San Jose Predators. (5-2) The Sharks will need to beat them next week in order to have home field advantage in the first round, if the Sharks win then they will host the Predators on June 3rd at Soquel, If They Lose, then the Sharks will return to Milpitas to face the Predators as the 3rd seed. A win in the first round will pit the Sharks again against the Barnstormers for the NCAFF South Division Championship, and a shot for the NCAFF AAA Amateur Bowl Championship. The winner of that game will play on July 8th against the GCFL Champion and a Northern California Title. Monday, May 29 Sharks in Playoffs For the first time in the Franchise History the Sharks will be in the playoffs, They Face #2 Seed San Jose Predators, a team the Sharks dropped there last game of the regular season 31-28.

Sunday, April 15 Sharks win in Overtime Sharks 30-Solano 24 OT The Sharks came into the 3rd preseason game knowing that they needed a win before opening division play next week. The day did not start off good with several key players not making the trip to Vallejo. Justin Reinman (26) The Sharks leading rusher was nursing a groin pull and did not attend, Starting Fullback Greg Thomas was on the missing list for the second week in a row. This left 2 reserve backs for Coach Clarke to work with, Sticking with his original game plan, Clarke went to his horses on the front line to handle the task of opening holes for the two backs. Santos Garcia (22) had 34 carries for 252 yards and 3 Touchdowns. Sal Sanches (2) had 21 Carries for 96 yards & 2 TDs. The Sharks started off strong building a 12-0 lead in the first quarter, Ricky Montes (43) Back-up quarterback ran the run Offense to perfection, but could not get the passing game to move the ball, Montes threw an Interception that was returned for a Solano TD, The ensuing drive Garcia (22) was tackled and the ball popped out after hitting the turf, it was ruled a fumble and was returned for the second Solano Score of the second quarter. The Sharks fell farther behind the 3rd Quarter 24-12. The Sharks O started tearing up Yardage by pounding the Chiefs, Garcia & Sanchez had big second halfs, Garcia had a break away run for 78 yards to tie up the game in the 4th Quarter. With time running out,, Clarke went the Phil Atkinson (12) to try his hand at passing the Sharks to Victory with little time remaining. The Game ended with a 24-24 score, The sharks lost the OT Toss and was forced to go on Offence. Santos Carried the ball for 9 yards, Sanchez then carried for 2, then back to Santos for 3, then Sanchez for 1, then Santos for 4. Atkinson threw a Slant to BK Robertson (85) for a 4 yard gain and Santos behind Sanchez put the final touch on the Shark Scoring for the Afternoon. The Shark Defense, was also missing key players, Chase Mason,(23) Dave Adams (4) Ben Martinez (10) all starters missing Saturdays game. So the defense to had to look for there back-up players and Starters to carry the load, Manny Kister (71) Skyler Mcqueen (44), Dayrl Williams (21) and Robert Housek (20) played well through out the game. And allowing the Sharks offense to figh back and take the win. In the Solano OT Possession Housek (20) came up with the Interception to seal the Win for the Sharks. The Sharks play Division Rival Alameda Knights in Alameda at 1pm to open NCAFF South Division Play,. next Saturday. |
