QB keeper by the Cougars for a huge gain. The Hillmen defenders are missing tackles.
43-40 Hillmen but Crenshaw have the ball 1st and 10 with 1:50 left, deep in Placer territory
I know it's irrelevant now but can someone make sense why Crenshaw decided to go for 2?
Great point OG,I was just getting ready to post that idea as it did go thru my mind while talking with my son in Chicago who was also watching the game.Crenshaw could NOT stop placers run game(WingT)they chewed up time and moved ball up and dn the field and at the end they SCORED,with 3 1/2 to 4 mins left and placer up 43-40 why not let them score and save that time,even if Crenshaw went for 2 the score would be 48-43 and a td still wins.Placer is better at throwing when they WANT to as opposed to throwing when they HAVE to,they could have done clock management and set up pass from the run.Even with getting ball bk after the Crenshaw go ahead td and 1:35 on the clock the Hillmen still got to the cougar 35 I believe and a shot at Hail Mary or maybe a game tying fg.BUT that was not the case,and the result was a 46-43 loss in the state bowl,but even in this hard fought very close loss the Hillmen are WINNERS as well,this team returns a BOATLOAD of stars that played in this championship game and the EXPERIENCE they got and learned vs not only Crenshaw but Salinas (D4AA Regional) is huge.......really huge!Placer will be even better next year with what they accomplished this yr as a young team,so again I say Congratulations and thank you Placer for a FABULOUS year......Bravo!Go Placer....Go NorCal.Fantastic game. Neither team could stop the other. "What if?" Placer LET Crenshaw score with 3.5 min left. It was obvious we couldn't stop them and vice versa.
Seems like a wrong thing but i believe we had a better chance to win on offense rather than on D.
Crenshaw going for 2 and miss.
46-43 Crenshaw leads with 1:38 left.
He only missed one PAT all game. Had they went for the PAT and make it, they go up by 4 and force Placer to drive the entire field and score a TD. With them trying for 2 and failing to convert gave Placer a chance to tie them with a field goal.
I know it's a moot point now but I just couldn't understand that decision.
Refreshing to hear from a Placer supporter that Crenshaw was a great host. I didn't expect anything different but you never know when someone new comes to town. From what I saw on the internet feed it look like both teams respected each others game. And it was a very competitive game at that. I didn't see any cheap shots by either program. All I saw was two programs rooting for their respective teams and respecting the other team as well as the refs.I was there last night and it was an incredible game! There was a huge crowd who made the trip of over 400 miles from Auburn--more than on the home side, although their crowd was not small. The boys played so hard, were not intimidated, did not back down, and matched Crenshaw score for score. The Crenshaw coaches were smart to slow down their last drive so that Placer didn't have a lot of time to drive down the field at the end.
Everyone we met from Crenshaw was super welcoming and positive. I heard great things about the food at the stadium. So yes it wasn't a neutral field, but it wasn't a bad place for a visiting team to play. It's a shame that the outcome wasn't a win for Placer, but they had an awesome season and Auburn is proud of them!
Well said FJ well said.Refreshing to hear from a Placer supporter that Crenshaw was a great host. I didn't expect anything different but you never know when someone new comes to town.

That said, enjoy your short break and the sky is the limit next year. Congrats, Placer Hillmen on your championship season.

Not being political but this is what makes America great. As you've stated 1227Elevation, two different teams come together for the first time and show respect for each other. That's why sports to me is the best healer when it comes to bringing people together. Both of these programs are State Champs in my book because they embraced humanity over anything else. Much respect to the Placer Hillmen and Crenshaw "The Shaw" Cougars for showing all of us the bigger picture. Love it!!!!Crenshaw players even hugging and consoling distraught Placer players after the game. Two such different teams, from such different parts of CA playing each other so well and so tough. What football should be.

I remember in the 80's when Crenshaw was known as the king of basketball in the state under legendary coach Willie West. I've seen their athletes lose big time basketball games and shake their opponents hands at the end of the game with tears in their eyes.That tweet by Crenshaw's Ahmir75 says it all,that in my book is winning with class,and not just from Amir from the entire Crenshaw team and coaches and fans.....warms this man's heart from 2 such different teams.....Congratulations to both teams....it was a Great CIF D4AA Championship game.
That's Crenshaw. They keeps it real. They know what greatness looks like. That's a high compliment and respect coming from "The Shaw". I mean that.
