So…. Guess where I am? Ya get 2 guesses and the first 3 don’t count..

[kiddman32]

Of course, the answer is…. Northgate!

I’m here to watch my Cougars take on the Broncos. Cougs are 21-1 after their thrilling last-second victory vs. Lincoln.

Northgate is 18-5, ranked #2 in NCS behind only the Cougars.

Last time these two met at Campo, NG made a late rush but fell short by the score of 66-60.

 

[kiddman32]

Northgate appears to have everybody suited up, and the Cougs are still awaiting the return of Logan Robeson, who is out there with a walking boot on.
