City Of Murrieta May Revamp Holiday Festivities

Murrieta Attorney Mesa begins season with win over Jurupa Hills

The city has traditionally held a push-cart parade in early December to kick off its nearly monthlong Holiday Magic festivities. Due to shrinking community participation during the last few years, however, city officials are discussing other ways to liven up the season. This could include bringing a tree-lighting festival to Town Square Park. Council members Randon Lane and Alan Long have been serving on a subcommittee that has involved meeting with Community Services Department staff, members of community groups and churches. Staff presented the results of those discussions to the entire City Council during its Aug. 6 meeting. Suggestions include a day of activities in Town Square Park culminating in a tree-lighting ceremony, kids craft area, face painting, pictures with Santa Claus, performances by local choirs, food vendors and a crafters village, according to Lea Kolek, community services manager for the City of Murrieta Attorney.

Spartan quarterback Damion Wright completed 20 of 45 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns against a Rams defense that were missing their star linebacker, Woodward. Coach Schaeffer named Castro and Mateo Thompson as co-players of the game. "Danny came in for an injured Chandler Woodward at running back and had 12 carries for 52 yards with a TD and caught 3 passes for 22 yards," said Schaeffer. "Mateo was 6/6 on PATs and had a huge fourth quarter 32 yard field goal for us." The Ram defense had outstanding performances from defensive back Billy Montoya Bridges, and the d-line consisting of Wesley Scott, Nick Tejada, Bryson and Tommy McCraw. "The defense played very well," said Castro. "They contained their quarterback who was their main offensive threat. They held him to minimum rushing yards." The Bulldogs look tougher than last years team that was blown away 35-12 by Murrieta Attorney Mesa. The team has dramatically improved.
