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 second period saw the Frogs staying just ahead of the Bears thanks in part to some excellent teamwork between Bret Harte's Matt Brechtel and Robbie Bragg. As the night went on Summerville pulled slowly ahead, despite a good dose of fancy footwork from Bret Harte's Jordan Gomez and some mighty good shooting by Alex Milward.

Amador County, CA....We, at the Amador Student Music Fund, thank you for your support this past year and extend our good wishes to you and yours for a happy and healthy New Year filled and complete with the beautiful sounds of music. Without you and your support of our music activities, many of our Amador County children would not have the opportunities they have now… to study music, to learn to play an instrument, and to perform for their peers and the community. We all know the state is in budgetary disarray and the money coming to our schools across California is greatly lacking, and might be even more lacking in the coming years…so are musical opportunities in our state schools lacking.
