Here’s how ya know it’s a rivalry...

[kiddman32]

Starting lineup for the JV game were announced over PA, music and all that...

Yup, It’s Campo at Miramonte in the Matadome...

Campo frosh won by about 20... I expect a similar result in the other direction here.

This’ll set things up just fine for the Varsity battle.

See ya then, same Bat-time, same Bat-forum...

 

[kiddman32]

Well, well... JV Cougs are up 28-21 at the half.

Last time, Mira won by about 15... This would be a nice turnaround... Lots to play yet, tho.

Whilst we await this, a lil preview of the Varsity game...

Campolindo is 17-5, ranked #31 in CA, and #4 in NCS... Miramonte is ranked #218 in CA and #32 in NCS with their 12-9 record.

May sound like a mismatch, but these rivalry games can be nutzoid.

edit: that last statement came to you compliments of Captain Obvious...

 

[kiddman32]

Well, well, again!

Coug JV’s break a rather long losing streak against a solid MM JV team.... 57-53, I believe.

If you want to know the shortest span of time in the entire world? It’s the amount of time the final score of a MM home loss stays up on the board... Have seen them do this many many times....

 

[kiddman32]

Main event in 11 minutes...

 

[kiddman32]

First thing I notice is that Carter Mahaney is back in uniform. Won’t know if he’s starting or playing til they get set for intro’s...
