Quarter 1

We came out fired up....We had a huge turn out for homecoming. We jumped out to an early 14-12 lead but Bakersfield is very scrappy and well coached. Jacob Pardo had a huge night scoring 27points. He finally stepped up and wanted the ball when the game was close. I have been waiting for him to do that all year. THis was a huge win for my guys down the stretch.
