22“We had all this momentumbuilding up to thegame, the gym was decorated,and we were eatingour team dinner beforethe game, when we gotthe news: the water mainbroke!”— Chuck Rapp,Current Serra Varsity Bascontinuedfrom Page 20And perhaps the delayed game addedmore intensity to the matchup; the Padres defeatedthe Wildcats the following night 44-39.Ironically, in a series that has inspiredso much excitement, hullabaloo and pandemoniumfor the home team, the visitors haveprevailed most often. St. Ignatius leads theJungle Game series 16-14, and also dominatedthe match-up for five years in a row, from 1983to 1987, the longest winning streak on eitherside.In fact, since 1983, SI has been in thedrivers’ seat of the series. According to CoachRapp, that trend is about to change, however.On a three-game winning streak, he seesSerra taking control of the series once more,especially after the Padres’ emphatic victory onJanuary 21, with a 56-38 win.“The last two games we won in doublefigures,” he says. “It feels good that we’ve latelyexerted some control over the series, and my goalis for Serra to dominate again.”Monkey business The illustration at right by BobbyMacKenzie ’92 captured the tenor of the 1991 matchup.

Below, after adelayed game caused by a broken water main, the 2002 Padres had plentyof pent-up energy. “The game gets more intense as the years go by,” saysCoach Chuck Rapp. “The whole day of the Jungle Game, there’s a lot ofexcitement. It starts in the very first class of the day, and the kids don’t stoptalking about it all day long.”What are YOURfavoritememories of theJungle Game?Send your memories to the JuníperoSerra High School DevelopmentOffice, 451 West 20th Avenue, SanMateo, CA. 94403,or via e-mail toscecchin@serrahs.com.
