Back in the day Kirkwood was my favorite place to ski...

in Calif. Haven't been there, however, since maybe the early 80's.

The game with Tulare.... really don't like sounding like sour grapes but we played poorly that day. NOT that we would have beat them at our best... but it was far from our best effort.

Ripon's record is impressive. Undefeated in their league play. We had a couple of common opponents during the year and we both won against them BUT... Ripon's victories over them were a little more impressive than ours were. What we have going for us:

Kerman travels well, as far as fans.... can't say for sure but I think Ripon will see the most opponent fans in their gym that they've seen this year.

Ripon is minutes away from BassPro. Unfortunately my grandsons, and granddaughter, can't leave early enough for a shopping spree... wait a minute, that may be fortunate...more for me.
