The Highlanders still are struggling to get anything going, having to punt in a fourth-and-long situation from their own 40. They pinned Rancho inside its 10, but with 6:54 left and the Cougars up 21-7, time is running out on the Highlanders as they take over at the Cougars’ 45 after a short Rancho punt.
Rancho still up 14-7, facing a third-and-goal from the Upland 9. Oh yeah, they are counting the 50/50 money behind me. If I’m lucky and can finagle some cash, drinks are on me tonight. I’ll keep you posted.
After a crazy first period, the second period was scoreless, leaving the Cougars with a 14-7 lead. I’ll get some stats from Lou Brewster and post them in a bit.
Rancho Cucamonga junior center Gary Berwick just limped off the field with an injury as the first quarter concluded with the Cougars up 14-7. At this rate, my pregame prediction is really going to suck as far as the over/under is concerned. If you are in Vegas, bet high.
I found the faintest possible signal ever here at Chaffey for Upland-Rancho Cucamonga, so we’ll try to get this done. In the house are Clay Fowler, Louis Brewster, Matt Calkins and the artist formerly known as the Prep-dog from the P.E. and special guest Lance Pugmire from the L.A. Times.
Weather is nice – temperature in the upper 50s with light wind – and they’ve already made at least two annoucements for fans to squeeze into the Chaffey bleachers. So it might be better to be watching at home on the ol’ blog.
National anthem now.
Starting in an hour or so, I will have a live blog (barring any internet problems) from the Rancho Cucamonga-Upland game at Chaffey College. So if you can’t make it out tonight, check out the action on here.
