A final rip-roaring CHEER for the awesome Live Oak High School football team. Despite their devastating loss Saturday against Archbishop Riordan High School's crusaders in the Central Coast Section Middle School Division title game, the Acorns have put Morgan Hill on the prep football map in style. The Acorns were playing in the first CCS final since 1989. Despite facing a more athletic team and missing its quarterback, the Acorns played with everything they had against the West Catholic Athletic League's fifth-place team. The team ended the game strongly with three touchdowns in the final 13 minutes. Kudos also to first-year coach John Michael Porras for his leadership and hard work to transform the team into one of the best the school has ever had. Last, but not least, a big congratulations to the Sobrato High School Bulldogs for their first division win in four years. This accomplishment means the determined Bulldogs advance to a new division.
