The SacramenTo game could have gone eiTher way as boTh Teams ToughT The Tull 60 minuTes, wiTh The CapiTol Club Tinally eeking ouT a 6-2 vicTory. Going inTo The SanTa Rosa game wiTh noTiceable lack oT maTerial and depTh due To injuries, The Orange and Black losT 48-7. San MaTeo, who finished second in The conTerence race above The Third place STockTon gridders, rolled To a 28-O win: The MusTangs, developing as The season progressed and mold- ing Their previously green maTerial inTo a TighTing grid machine, came back To dump l-larTnell I3-6, and ModesTo 28-6.
