Cate Rams Bow Out in CIF Semifinals

November 13, 2023

The Cate football season ended in the CIF Semi-Finals with a 61-24 defeat to #2 seed Valley Christian.

The Lions dominated the game from the get-go. The Cate offensive highlights came on a second-quarter touchdown run from Quinn Pullen ’25, a third-quarter touchdown pass from Pullen ’25 to Kristian Scurtis ’24, and a fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Pullen ’25- Tyler Martinez ’24. Martinez ’24 also had an interception on the day. Scurtis ’24, Barron Crayton ’26, and Henry Bouma ’25 both had excellent games defensively for the Rams.

It’s disappointing not to play our best against an outstanding team, but we are proud of this team’s growth this season. It’s frustrating to end the year in a way that doesn’t quite represent our year, but this group improved significantly during the year. We loved being around them every day. Special thank you to our seniors (Tyler Martinez, Kristian Scurtis, Pen Brooks, Crosby Rosenthal, Muhsin Abdul-Hakim, Kyle Park, and Adrian Ordonez) for their hard work and commitment to our program during their time at Cate.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the team all season!
