Nice team photo
Should you be interested, here is the link to Camarillo H.S.'s 2026 Media Guide that is chock full of all sorts of Scorpions tidbits:
As for today's Frosh contest . . .

Good gain for the Scorpions QB

his first of many Punt long snaps
The Tritons QB was a good one
Camarillo Defense rallying to the ball
Keep on Trucking
Battle for improved field position
End of the First quarter with
Pacifica in the lead
Interesting stance by the
Triton's Right Tackle . . .
. . . but he did spring into action nicely
Triton QB loose again
Scorpions Kickoff Return
This does NOT look good for Camarillo
A well covered Pacifica aerial
SURROUND HIM!
This ball was tipped by two Scorpions
but landed in this receiver's arms
for another Tritons TD
I like the looks of Pacifica's Center
The Scorpion Defense trying to
stop the bleeding
The Halftime Score with Pacifica
in full control of the game
Camarillo Kicking Off to
start the Third Quarter
Jacob getting a piece of that
Kickoff's tackle
He could go . . .
. . . all the way!
Pacifica's QB raced 73 yards to pay dirt on the first play after the Kickoff.
Scorpions take to the air
More trouble for the Scorps

Pursuing
More trouble for Camarillo
Elusive
Heisman Trophy pose?
End of the Third Quarter led
to the invocation of The Mercy Rule
The Fourth Quarter would be played with a running clock and the Tritons would do all in their power to not score again.

Pacifica ran the ball well today
PURSUE THE BALL!
Pacifica continued to pound the rock
Jacob was targeted on this pass . . .
. . . but the Triton DB broke it up
Final Score
Pacifica (1-0) - 48
Camarillo (1-2) - 0
Next up for the Frosh Scorpions is a game at home against the Ventura H.S. Cougars (0-0) next Thursday.
Our choices for Varsity games on
Friday are plentiful
We've decided to join the Sabolić Clan to watch the Bishop Montgomery (0-2) at Simi Valley (1-1) game.
Their son, Jason, is Simi Valley's WR Coach.
Flashback to 1924
Truth be told, USC (9-2 overall, 2-1 PCC), no logo depicted here, was also a part of the 1924 PCC. The conference champions that year were the Stanford Indians (7-1-1 overall, 3-0-1 PCC).
In 1924, the Trojans defeated mighty Cal Tech 78-6 in their opening game and then had victories over Pomona, Whittier, Arizona, Oregon Agricultural (Oregon State today), Nevada, Idaho, Syracuse and Missouri. USC's two losses were to St. Mary's and California.
If not in the PCC, where was UCLA football in 1924, you ask?
Why, they were playing in the Southern California Conference (SCC), the precursor to todays NCAA DIII Southern California Interscholastic Athletic Conference (SCIAC).
UCLA, known simply as Southern Branch Grizzlies in 1924, had a record of 0-5-3 overall, 0-4-1 in SCC play including a 6-0 loss to the mighty Cal Tech Beavers 102 seasons ago. The Grizzlies other losses in 1924 were to La Verne, Whittier, Occidental and Pomona. Their three ties that season came against Loyola, Redlands and San Diego State.
Crazy game this football.
