We drove north about one hour for Jacob's Camarillo Stingers game.
The game site was beautiful . . .
Santa Barbara City College's
La Playa Stadium
Their great stands provide . . .
. . . perhaps the BEST view from
any stadium in all of California
That is the Pacific Ocean with one of the Channel Islands, Santa Cruz Island I believe, in the distance.
We were in attendance to hopefully play a better game than the ones we've played the last two weeks.
3 Wins - 2 Losses
at
2 Wins - 2 Losses
Both teams would rely on
their running games today
Stingers Defensive Pursuit
There would be battles at the
line of scrimmage all day long
Every yard had to be earned in
the early going today
WRAP HIM UP!
Camarillo's Offense on the move
Getting to the edge
The push on the Goal Line . . .
. . . brought the Stingers the
first points of the game
The Two-Point PAT . . .
. . . was GOOD!
Back on Defense . . .
. . . meant running to the ball again
A one-on-one tackle that just
had to be made, and it was
End of the First Quarter
Camarillo - 8
Santa Barbara - 0
The Saints still kept attacking the
perimeters of the Stingers Defense
Jacob in at Defensive End
Keep fighting for that all important
outside leverage young man!
Lots of hats to the ball
Good pursuit angles
Santa Barbara squib Kickoff
The Stingers pounding the rock . . .
. . . over and . . .
. . . over and . . .
. . . and over . . .
. . . and over . . .
. . . again
It would not be enough in the second stanza to maintain the Camarillo lead.
At the Halftime Intermission
Santa Barbara - 12
Camarillo - 8
Jacob recovering another Saints
squib Kickoffs to start the Second Half
Stingers still running
Good looking hole on this play
Camarillo would turn the ball over
on downs deep in Saints territory
Good pass rush by a Camarillo LB
The Stingers played better in this
scoreless period
End of the Third Quarter
Santa Barbara - 12
Camarillo - 8
The Stingers were still battling
Surrounding this Saints ball carrier
If we could just get #0 blocked . . .
Breaking a tackle
Lots of effort but the Saints prevailed
One bright spot for Camarillo in the Fourth Quarter was Defensive End Jacob's recovery of a Santa Barbara fumble giving the team some last minute hope.
Final Score
Santa Barbara (3-2) - 18
Camarillo (3-3) - 8
It was a tough to lose our third straight game but, truth be told, we played much better this week.
After the game, we stopped in Carpinteria for dinner at Pizza Man Dan's.
Mary proudly announcing that
she lost another tooth last night
Love this girl to the moon and back!
A post-game ice cream helped
heal Jacob's psyche a bunch
The ice cream helped Mary
too it would appear
Ice Cream solves a lot of problems I am told.
The Stingers now have a Bye week before returning to action for their last two games of the regular season.
A Bye Week means but one thing,
ROAD TRIP!
Jacob, Michael and I will travel to the East Coast for the weekend to visit New York City for a day before heading up the gorgeous Hudson River Valley to West Point to watch Saturday's football game between the Boston College Eagles (2-3) and the Army Black Knights (2-2).
On a final Saturday football note . . .
The 7th Ranked Huskies had
a close shave in the Arizona desert
The Washington Huskies (5-0, 2-0 PAC-12) were 17 1/2 point favorites going into this contest against Arizona Wildcats (3-2, 1-1 PAC-12).
Still, a win is a win and we'll take it.
