Campo @ Acalanes

[kiddman32]

Just watched the Cougs frosh turn a game that had been close after one quarter into a runaway win, 48-31.

JV’s in a bit…. I believe the Campo JV’s have just one losss, that being to De La Salle…. Not all the games are up on Maxpreps, so take that with a grain of salt…. Maxpreps has Acalanes JV at 7-7..

Meanwhile, waiting in the wings are the varsity teams…. Campo’s varsity is 13-6 while facing a difficult schedule, like usual…. Aca is 11-7 against a somewhat weaker slate.

Cougs lost to St. Mary’s last time out in Stockton, a game I missed due to being at St. Mary’s of Moraga, watching the Gaels and Aidan Mahaney take care of Santa Clara…
