Congrats to senior quarterback Hayes Cloutier of the @jserra.football team, who has been selected as the Orange County Register’s Boys Athlete of the Week by the Orange County Register.

The Register’s Steve Fryer had this to say about Cloutier’s standout effort to help lead the Lions a 37-28 comeback road victory at Bishop Amat:

"He (Cloutier) passed for 190 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-28 win over Bishop Amat. Cloutier (6-2, 201) completed 13 of 19 passes without an interception. He scored on runs of 8, 11 and 27 yards. Cloutier has completed 61 of 92 passes for 801 yards and 12 touchdowns with one interception this season.

JSerra (4-1) has won four in a row since a season-opening loss to Sierra Canyon."
