LEAGUE PLAY BEGINS
DIFFICULT ASSIGNMENT AHEAD
League play begins with a 1-2 punch on Friday as the very powerful St. Mary's and then Lincoln High roll into Wayne Schneider Stadium. Tracy is still looking for a football victory over the St. Mary's Rams in the modern era as the Rams have dominated the Bulldogs when they have played them in league play and the playoffs. Once St. Mary's departs, the well constructed Lincoln Trojans will come in hoping to spoil Tracy's Homecoming on October 8th.
As quick as the last five weeks have gone, the upcoming five weeks of league seem to always fly by, so each player, especially the seniors need to cherish the remaining snaps they have left on the field.
Welcome to the start of League!
