Should be exciting finish for the title

Great talking with Bigdwagg & Trojandave prior to the game Friday. The PHS athletic director really treated us nice during the evening. Trojans now have a chance to win or share league title following Warren's loss.

Jottings,

A few of the Chilly faithful are asking if you could post a thread with the league records of the Frosh and JV. A's always, great work on the game summary. Makes me feel like I was there.
