After opening their season March 17 in Fulton, California Pintos and Lady Pintos track and field hosted the California Quad on Thursday against Knob Noster, Boonville and Odessa.
In the opening few minutes of Tuesday night’s game, it looked as if the Blair Oaks Falcons had hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. When Blair Oaks coach Ryan Fick called timeout with 3:38 left in the first quarter, he had a metaphorical bucket of cold water ready to wake up his players. Following the timeout, the Falcons outscored the Pintos 41-10 the rest of the first half, dominating their way to a 59-30 victory in a Tri-County Conference matchup at Blair Oaks High School.
The California Pintos will try to end their regular season with a three-game winning streak tonight during a home game against the Hallsville Indians. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Riley Field.
The Russellville Indians are heading north today. Way north. Russellville is heading to Memphis, about 15 miles south of the Iowa border, to take on the Scotland County Tigers. This will be the last of a three-game road swing for the Indians, who won 35-14 at Carrollton last Friday after beating Diamond 34-22 in Week 2.
