Joshua Garcia Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Joshua Garcia posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Cosumnes Oaks over Laguna Creek on Friday. Garcia threw for 223 yards and four touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Cosumnes Oaks is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Garcia's next game is against Sheldon on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
