GOLDEN VALLEY TRNY IN MERCED, but 45 min.from Central Sec.... TOO CLOSE
NO SURPRISE BULLARD SWEPT Through without A SET LOST.,(Now at 16-4) Toping A good Madera
Even behind the two Central Section top dogs ,were Central.Sec. teams
I tired trying to find the highest finish of a Sac-Joaquin team..No shame, Its still early in devleopment arooud Merced./Modesto.

ROY and RHONDA can tell you "where the bodies are buried",, We've spoken with both at different times.

DRAGON INVITATIONALat Bishop O'DOWD High in Oakland..Year two of the event.

BISHOP ODOWD WON their own event EASILY. A good Moreau team was the only threat of any level.
In a twelve team league its difficult to find space for out of conference matches. Which is exactly what a qualtiy team like ODowd needs.

The overings of this Torunament wer somewhat lackluster. Some NoreCAL had more venom. Two of the leadres of the MVAL, a Marin regurlar,?
