Wow, what a game. Looks like VC is going undefeated the whole way.

Thanks Curley,

It's awesome to be able to get up to date scores to big games like this when I am unable to attend. I wish more local papers were as committed to JC sports as the Ventura County Star and you. Joe Curley you are definitely a asset to JC sports...

Thank you,

Mike Muro
