Jacob was still upbeat after the game
Despite five Offensive turnovers, I thought that the Scorpions showed a lot of grit in keeping the game close until the end of the game.
First games tend to be sloppy and this one was for both teams.

For Camarillo, they will vie for their first win of the season on the road next Thursday at 4:00 p.m. against the Moorpark H.S. Musketeers.

Laurie and I opted for a postgame meal and stumbled upon this brand new BBQ spot that was in only its second day of operation.
Their food was good but it was their side order of yams that we both raved about. Probably the best that we've ever had.
That's saying something!
