Angels Camp, CA.....Following an exciting JV game that ended with a 2 point victory for the Bears, the varsity Bullfrogs took an early lead in last night's matchup.

The Bullfrogs made a strong last minute bid for victory, but the game went to Summerville, 59-54......

Simplest does not always equal best, so I would like to hear ideas on how we might go about attempting a change towards greater fairness in distribution of funding. I’m listening here on line and in person every Thursday from 12-1 p.m. at the Rancho Calaveras Clubhouse and 2-3 p.m. at Snaps coffee shop in Copper Town Square......
