Jaden Corte, defensive back for the Olympians led them with five total tackles, an interception, and two solo tackles. The Olympians forced five turnovers compared to their one turnover in their debut against the Wolverines. There were four players that all contributed to a sack; those players consisted of Ryan Black, Tyeron Washington, Adrian Davis, and Ryan Odom, while Bryen Spaudling got two sacks. 

As we await the Olympians next home game, they will play an away game at Cerritos College on Sept. 9 .The Olympians home opener is on Saturday Sept. 16th at 6:00 p.m. against Golden West, who they lost to 35-7 last year. The Olmpians will try to get revenge for last year’s loss to Golden west. It’s a game the fans wouldn’t want to miss, especially how the team is doing defensively. The Olympians will have 5 away games and five home games this year. Last year the Olympians finished with a record of 7-4. There should be high expectations for this Mesa team, while still winning The Southern California Bowl last year. It should be a very exciting season for the Olympians as they try to keep their undefeated record of 1 – 0 .
