The first quarter of California's game at Wardsville Tuesday, Feb. 22, was something to see. Here were two of the biggest rivals with the same goal; to win the Tri-County Conference championship, and when the first frame ended at an even 17-17, it was evident both teams wanted it bad. The Pintos were comming off of eight consecutive wins, while the Falcons had won their last 15 , and each wanted to add another. But in the end, there could be only one victor.
