Mon.-Thurs., Aug. 24-27, 2026
We enjoyed a really busy four days that were highlighted by a wild Camarillo H.S. Frosh football game on Thursday.
Let's start this post with a review of grandson Jacob's game.

Good looking Scorpions Counter play
The Scorpions ran the ball

GREAT arm wrap

Nice pass break up by this
Moorpark DB
Better TD grab on the next play
by this Scorpions' receiver
Halftime

Excited Scorpions re-entering
the arena
This Camarillo Kickoff Return . . .
. . . had a chance . . .
. . . to go all the way IF someone
could just block the last
Moorpark defender legally . . .
. . . JACOB GOT THAT BLOCK,
TD CAMARILLO!

Thank goodness that Moorpark
did not use their QB in the run
game more often

TD SCORPIONS!
But would it be enough for a win?
Jacob getting in on a tackle on
the ensuing Kickoff
The Musketeers "connected" on a long pass that most spectators saw as clearly incomplete but not the Head Referee.
Time was running out and, trailing by a point, Moorpark opted with a long Field Goal attempt. This was a puzzling decision as they had barely cleared the crossbar on their successful PATs during the game.
A bad long snap turned into a successful Fire Call pass that gave the Musketeers one last play from inside the ten yard line.

It was a BEAUTIFUL night for a
game winning football play!
Here come the Musketeers
TACKLED AT THE TWO YARD LINE,
GAME OVER!
Let the Celebrating begin!
Final Score
Camarillo improves to 1-1 while Moorpark drops to 0-2.
What a fun game to watch!
As for Jacob, I was extremely proud of his effort and execution in this game. He accepted his role as a Special Teams player and did all that he could every time he was on the field.
EXCELLENT!
Jacob and Mary after the game
During this week, as our 1976 Marmonte League Champion Thousand Oaks H.S. football team prepares for its 50 year reunion, I received some fun photographs from Tim Foor who was an OL/DL on that squad.
Head Coach Joe Howell was
as fine a man as I've ever met
The Lancers about to run . . .
. . . our signature Belly Series
I earned considerably less than
this in my high school coaching days
Cal Lutheran picked to be a
strong second in their conference
Anybody want to join me in
Mexico to watch the UDLAP Aztecs
in action?
We watched this fun
Netflix movie one night
We also joined a large group
of Rio Mesa H.S. ex-teachers . . .
. . . to watch "Karyn 805,"
another R.M.H.S. colleague perform
As I said, a LARGE group of
ex-Spartans
We close with this photo of
Alaska Airlines best all-time plane
Good Times, INDEED!
