Pacific looking to take the next step
On the surface, Pacific High School's 24-19 victory over San Bernardino Oct. 24 doesn't look to be a big deal, as one struggling high school program defeated another. However, that victory was huge for the Pirates, as it broke a 26-game losing streak that dated back to 2005 and gave some legitimacy to first-year coach Oscar Torres' program.
As Pacific prepares for 2009, Torres is well aware of how important the victory over the Cardinals was to the landscape of his program.
