“Final score Lions 46 Knippa 12. What a privilege to pioneer the first broadcast of Rockcrushers football in nearly 50 years. Heartfelt thanks to Cesar for facilitating our broadcast and Crystal Alejandro-Realtor at Encina Properties for her generous sponsorship. Truly an exhilarating experience to be part of local history in the making.”
