Almond has had a great start . 
1st game the team was a little “slow” waking up , but the 3rd quarter exploded for 22 points . The newspaper didn’t put the completion percentage up that week that I saw just through for 105 yards . Of the last 2 games Almond is 24/28 for 464 yards (so he’s overall thrown for 569  over 3 games) while I agree the competition hasn’t been the best what an impressive start for a sophomore QB . He can continue getting better with every practice and he does have an arm . The kicker was used a lot tonight went 7/8 haven’t had a kicker in long time. Alto may not be ready to win the state championship this year (the fans are every year) but when you look at this year vs last year so far you can definitely tell a difference. Defense has made some good plays to . Very encouraging for the future. 

I didn’t even think to mention the kicker, Eric Olvera!! He only missed ONE! It’s been awhile. He was accurate and did a great job, having lots of opportunities tonight! Seems like such a small thing, but we’ve been going for two for awhile now. He’s only a sophomore as well, so I am encouraged here, too!

Their team of pretty much 8th graders beat a team of nothing but 7th graders. And if you were there you probably saw what their player did to HS 7th grade quarterback. LK sportsmanship was terrible. 

Can’t blame LK if they have to combine 7th and 8th grades. They’re growing through some tough times. Worse than what HS has gone through. I know that’s hard to believe but it’s the truth. A 3AD1 school playing a 2AD2 school should be prepared for combined jr high teams. They don’t even have a JV. It’s just a lack of numbers. Schedule better. Can’t speak on the unsportsmanlike play. Wasn’t there.
