Yup, I’m at Placer to watch a frosh/JV/V tripleheader vs a strong Del Oro team.
 
Remember those Roadrunner cartoon, where the coyote thinks he’s just about to ram a knife and fork into the bird, then said bird hops into the air, looks back, sticks his tongue at the coyote, then hits the afterburners, zooming off into the distance, sucking the road, telegraph poles, cactus, etc behind him in a vortex, leaving the coyote with his jaw on the ground?

Well, it’s sorta like this 29-0 Del Oro run.

Finally, Placer hits a pair of FT’s…. and the quarter end 71-34 in favor of Del Oro.

Del Oro goes meep meep, for an 11-0 run…. but Placer gets a couple bucket to stem the tide a little…. 27-14.
 
36-22 Del Oro at the half…. Placer caught iron on a halfcourt buzzerbeater, but nope…
 
61-37 Del Oro after 3. Was hoping to get some reasonably close games, but not so far…

Varsity has a chance…. Placer is 9-1, Del Oro is 9-1. However, Placer’s loss was by 22 to Oak Ridge, a team that is close or maybe slightly better in ability to Del Oro.

Placer’s gonna hafta BRING IT…

Del Oro’s star is Caden Pinnick, heck of a player who is even better at QB on the gridiron. Pinnick is averaging almost 19 points a game.

No stats available for Placer, but I’ve seen ‘em against weaker competition and I was impressed.

At least at the start of the season, Placer was starting a freshman and two sophs. And they were really good, at least against the lower-level competition.
