Paso Robles accomplished the improbable after entering<br />
the season dropping the first three games and<br />
running nine of the 10 games with an interim head<br />
coach, J.R. Reynolds. Despite the adversity, and against<br />
four determined PAC 5 opponents, the Bearcats ran<br />
the table and earned an undefeated <strong>2017</strong> league title.<br />
The league title came with the sweet taste of rivalry<br />
victory — a 21-14 win over the Atascadero Greyhounds<br />
on Friday, Nov. 3.<br />
Entering league play, the Bearcats lugged a 1-4 record<br />
around their neck and opened against the heavy<br />
league favorite Arroyo Grande.<br />
Dispatching the Eagles, 28-7, and the Bearcats were<br />
then the ones with the target on their back. Another<br />
big win, 46-4, over San Luis Obispo and the anticipation<br />
rose for the potential high stakes game against<br />
Atascadero to finish as champs — but first the ‘Cats had<br />
to get through the Righetti Warriors, a potential upset.<br />
Paso fell behind in the first quarter, 0-7, but roared<br />
back into the lead with 14 unanswered points in the<br />
second and finished with a 23-14 win and secured the<br />
league title.<br />
The only thing left on the table was to finish off the<br />
Greyhounds and keep a perfect record in tact. Our<br />
Paso Robles Bearcats did just that, beginning with a<br />
21-0 halftime lead.<br />
The Bearcats held off a late-game charge to clinch<br />
the undefeated title for Paso Robles, and notch another<br />
win over the rival Greyhounds — a rivalry which is nearing<br />
the century mark.<br />
