STARTS NOW. OKAY, THERE THEY ARE. RIGHT THERE. THAT CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING. WELCOME TO KCRA 3’S HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK SHOW. I’M DEL RODGERS. DURING THE NEXT EIGHT WEEKS, WE WILL BRING YOU EVERY ASPECT THAT MAKES UP THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE FROM THE BANDS, THE FANS, CHEERLEADERS, GIRLS VARSITY, FLAG FOOTBALL, EVEN THE GAME OFFICIALS AND PARENTS IN THE STANDS. TONIGHT IS WEEK EIGHT OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON. WE BEGIN AT THE HOME OF THE HOUSTON HUSKIES. THEY WERE LAST SEASON’S D-6 SECTION CHAMPS. THEY HOSTED SONORA WILDCATS, BUT THE WILDCATS, THEY BLINKED FIRST AS THEY TURNED THE BALL OVER. IT’S RECOVERED BY VALENTINA SORIA OF THE HUSKIES. THEN ON THE VERY NEXT PLAY, ROBERT MCDANIEL PASSES OVER THE MIDDLE TO MAX MAKINS AND LAWRENCE TURNS. MAX TURNS AND 45 YARD TOUCHDOWN FOR THE HOUSTON HUSKIES FOR SONORA. THEY USED SOME TRICKERY TO KEEP IN THIS CONTEST. BRODY SPEER ENDS UP WITH THE ROCK. HE FINDS THE ZONE FROM 11 YARDS OUT RIGHT THERE FOR SONORA WILDCATS, THEN SONORA WOULD DO MORE DAMAGE THIS TIME. TOMMY SUTTON TAKES THE HANDOFF AND SUTTON GOES AND GETS THE MONEY. RACING 48 YARDS INTO THE LAND OF QUICK SIX FOR THE SONORA WILDCATS. BUT HOUSTON HAD ALL THE RIGHT MOVES TONIGHT AS THE DEFENDING D-6 SECTION CHAMPIONS WERE DIALED IN. ROBERT MCDANIEL FINDS LASSEN AVILES HOUSTON WINS BIG AT HOME, HOLDING OFF SONORA THE FINAL SCORE 52 TO 51. HOUSTON WINS IN A CLOSE ONE. WELL, THE NEVADA UNION MINERS. THEY MADE THE TRIP FROM GRASS VALLEY TO FACE THE 12 BRIDGES IN LINCOLN TONIGHT. THEY CALL THE RAGING RHINOS. KCRA 3 MICHELLE DAPPER HAS THE ACTION FROM THIS CONFERENCE MATCHUP TO MAKE THE RAGING RHINOS CHEER SQUAD, GETTING THE FANS FIRED UP AS 12 BRIDGES HOST NEVADA UNION FOR A FOOTHILL VALLEY MATCHUP. RHINOS UP 42. NOTHING IN THE THIRD WITH A RUNNING CLOCK AND THE DEFENSE WAS RAGING. THE TIP THERE AND RYAN WENGER RECOVERS THE FUMBLE AND HE’S FIRED UP 12. BRIDGES UP 49. NOTHING IN THE FOURTH. AND STILL ADDING A HANDOFF TO CHASE. WILEY COCO AROUND THE LEFT SIDE. HE HITS THE SIDELINES FOR THE 47 YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN AND A 55 TO NOTHING LEAD. BUT THE MINERS AVOID THE SHUTOUT RIDER. EELKEMA REELS OFF THE 42 YARD SCORE. 12. BRIDGES IMPROVES TO SEVEN ZERO ON THE SEASON, 55 SEVEN. THE FINAL. IT FEELS REALLY GOOD, YOU KNOW, BEING SEVEN ZERO. I MEAN, WE KIND OF CAME IN DOING TODAY, LIKE KNOWING THAT WE WERE GOING TO COME IN AND JUST SHOW THEM WHO WE ARE. BUT I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY 55 TO 7, IT FEELS GOOD FOR EVERYBODY GETTING EVERYBODY IN. IT’S REALLY NICE TO SEE THESE KIDS WHERE WE’RE AT RIGHT NOW. 70I THINK EVERYBODY WANTS WANTS THIS BATTLE BETWEEN US AND PLACER NEXT WEEK. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT PROUD OF THE KIDS BECAUSE WE ARE WE’RE WE’RE TOUGH ON THEM. YOU KNOW, THAT’S I THINK PART OF THE REASON WHY WE HAVE SUCCESS BECAUSE WE’RE TOUGH ON THEM. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE LOVE THEM TWICE AS MUCH. SO UP NEXT, FOR THE RAGING RHINOS, THEY HEAD TO PLACER WHILE NEVADA UNION GETS ROSEVILLE IN LINCOLN, MICHELLE DAPPER FOR HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK. AS WE DO EVERY WEEK, IT’S TIME TO SHOW OFF OUR HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK. GREAT CLIPS, CATCH OF THE WEEK FOR WEEK EIGHT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK. GREAT CLIPS CATCH OF THE WEEK WAS TURNED IN BY HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL. ROBERT MCDANIEL FINDS MAX MAKINS, WHO COMES UP WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL PLAYBOOK. GREAT CLIPS CATCH OF THE WEEK. IN FACT, MAX BROUGHT THIS ONE BACK 64 YARDS AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE OUR GREAT CLIPS CATCH OF THE WEEK IN CERES TONIGHT, THE CERES BULLDOGS. THEY HOSTED PACHECO PANTHERS. BOTH TEAMS CAME IN WITH IDENTICAL RECORDS OF THREE AND THREE. PLUS THEY WERE TIED FOR THIRD PLACE IN THE EIGHT TEAM WESTERN CONFERENCE MEETING. THE WINNER COULD MOVE INTO SECOND PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE FOR THE PANTHERS. ISAAC VALENCIA HANDS OFF TO AIDAN PICAS AND AP PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN FOR THE PACHECO PANTHERS, BUT THE SERIES BULLDOGS THEY PLAYED LIKE BULLDOGS TONIGHT. REESE SMITH COMES UP WITH A GREAT INTERCEPTION FOR PACHECO ON THE PACHECO ATTEMPT. REESE SMITH TAKES IT 30 YARDS BACK INTO PANTHERS TERRITORY.
