This past weekend I traveled on the Santa Monica College team bus to cover their game against the Santa Ana Dons in Santa Ana, California. This was my first team bus ride since my football playing days when I was in eighth grade. The highlight was on the trip home when the bus driver pulled over at McDonald’s allowing the players to grab something to eat. 80 players and a cheer squad filling up a McDonald’s was a sight to see. Clearly, I was not expecting this iconic moment because my camera was under the bus. Lesson has been learned.
Game Report: Santa Monica jumped out to an early lead but was unable to hold on. A tied score at 14-14 mid-way through the second quarter was the closest SMC would get. The Dons scored the next 36 points to put away the Corsairs. SMC lost 27-53.
