Stags, Sagehens never disappoint

This past Saturday, I had the privilege of attending the latest game in the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps/Pomona-Pitzer football rivalry at Merritt Field and it was well worth attending.

After a slow start of what seemed to be destined a low-scoring game, things picked up over the course of the game to the point where 4 quarters was just not enough for the 2 teams. At the end of regulation, both teams were tied at 24-24.

After C-M-S scored courtesy of Peter Kimmey's 11-yard touchdown run in overtime, Chet Corcos kicked his 4th extra point of the afternoon. Who would've known that the extra point would make the difference as after Pomona-Pitzer quarterback Jacob Caron hooked up with Robert Maki for a 6-yard touchdown reception, a failed 2-point conversion gave the Stags the win, 31-30.

Congratulations to both teams on an awesome game. Look for full coverage of Saturday's game in Wednesday's edition of the COURIER.
