I thought there would be fire works tonight at this game and it was almost close as both teams came close to scoring two more TD's each but defense on both parts came up with the strops. Now Pinole Valley racked up nine penalties in the first five minutes of the game for 75 yards but over came them with runs of, 20,16,16,11,7 and 6 for a TD with the clock reading 7:34 and the strong running of Michael Powell...Now Powell had close to 200 yards in running and saw McConico with many QB keepers...these two guys are fast sneaky and slippery, MCConico got him self out of trouble many times, but also took some hits on no gains.
For Hercules, I had a big surprise coming my way as the Titan QB Wright fired off two passes of 45 yards in the air and later another for 47 yards plus a 56 yard pass play that was called back, the guy has an arm like a cannon..The tit.Now the Spartan defense played the Titans tough in the second quarter and blocked a field Goal attempt and kept the Titans from scoring while Pinole valley was pulling ahead 21-6 on runs of six three and three by Michael Powell..
