Narbonne looks like they have been ready to go for about 30 minutes.
Pittsburg is the first non-DLS school from NCS D1 to play in a state bowl game.

Terrific start for Pitt
Terrific start for Pitt
Pitt's defense has rarely been out of position. Sometimes Narbonne's scheme and speed led to big plays, but a very good first quarter.
L B P 14 Narbonne 10. This Narbonne lost was a big factor in me picking Pitt over them. Pitt is built like L B P with better coaching. Galli is twice the coach of Pierce. Go Pitt!!!
Justin Boyd looks to run, draws in the defense and lofts it to Willie Harts III for a 40 yard catch and run to put Pittsburg up 21-0 in Q2. Pirates' juniors have made a lot of plays so far
Dream scenario for Pitt. Fast start on offense and now you can let the defense loose. Scoring was the biggest question mark
I said Pitt would give Folsom a better game than Central because of better coaching. Both programs have the same athletes but Pitt has a better coach. Had Galli been the coach for Central they would have beaten your Folsom team. Coaching matters. Go back to the Granite Bay vs Pitt thread. It's there.
Pitt uses its final timeout of the first half with 603 left. Facing a 3rd and 25 from its own 15 yard line
So the team going against the wind has to run the ball while the opposing defense pin their ears back. Wow!!! Hope Galli give them some unbalance formation looks.
Pitt runs the ball on 4th and long instead of trying to punt again. Narbonne got the ball on Pitt's 23 yard line.
Weird play call, but not a crazy move by Pitt

After a false start pushes them back, Narbonne converts a 40 yard field goal with 23 seconds left in the half. Pitt leads 21-10
All the what ifs are cool and all but Folsom won and has their title. They will be back next year for more.
Let's cheer on Pitt! They deserve it. Great team. Go NorCal!
Through six quarters, team with the wind is winning 53-13. Pitt will have the wind in Q3
This wind thing is ridiculous. Big upside for DLS. I think MD passing game impacted big time.
I was going to say the same thing. DLS has a great chance to get the upset with these wind conditions. They will definitely eat up a lot of clock with the split back veer.
Can you imagine if the Spartans pull out the wind and all the SoCal excuses like when it rained.

Pittsburg turns it over on downs at midfield with 204 left in Q3. Pirates offense has stalled since that third TD (49 yards since the 10:34 mark of Q2)
#55 Bandes is an absolute beast for Pitt. He is going to pick up another dozen offers after this beat down. What a baller.
