MJC tops San Mateo in Battle of top 10 State Football Powers
September 26, 2024
The matchup between state No. 1 College of San Mateo and No. 6 Modesto Junior College was as advertised and then some. A game that went down to the final possession and had flashes of explosive offense, long, drawn-out drives and key defensive stands was well worth the price of admission. In their closest game of the season, defense came through for the Pirates. It allowed just one second-half touchdown and did not give up a fourth-quarter point, propelling MJC to a 23-20 win.
