much as we could,” Stricker said. “It’s all a learning experience and makes us better for the next games.”
In the second quarter, Apache head coach Brian Kratlian told his team, “You guys have to start talking.” That was followed by a steal from Edison and another immediately by his Apaches. Then sophomore Ben Frost scored with 2:28 minutes remaining in the first half, bringing the score to 7-3.
Herman then blocked one shot on his goal and then another. Stricker scored as
time ran out in the second quarter. But the Tigers snuck in another goal, too. A comeback in the second half failed to materialize.
“Tonight didn’t go as expected,” Kratlian said. He said the Edison group had played together for quite a while, and his team kept up with the Tigers at every turn because “we do a lot of conditioning.”
The Apaches left their post-game meeting fairly jovial, with something like a “we’ll get ‘em next time” attitude showing on their faces as they broke down the equipment and cleared the pool for the evening.
Herman explained how he helped his team in the first half, getting one block
after another. Jackson Humphreys played goalie the second half and likewise got a number of blocks.
“From the first play they did I tried to read them, then tell my guys who they need to cover,” Herman said of the hot-shooting Tigers. And like Kratlian he said his team has a lot of endurance. But he added, “I feel like we get too excited and don’t talk enough.”
Expect that to change.

the game. Then Douglas ran for a first down. Then Boust got another. Then Tahj Webb delivered, setting up the field goal for Ayala.
Just 6 seconds remained.
Ayala said he thought about, “all the (potential) scenarios the night before.” He said the win is shared. “It’s just the mentality we have on this team. We’re going to come out and fight whoever they put on the field. I’m proud of every single one of these guys. It takes a village, the coaches,
the sideline, the fans, all the people who come out.”
John Pena said he was tired after the game. “It was a grind,” he said. “All game. We kept saying we had to get one stop. We kept going. Our offense pulled through for us.”
Agina had 13 tackles, two receptions for 12 yards and 15 runs for 119 yards and two touchdowns. Junior Pierce Jones had 11 tackles. Safety and senior Isaiah Gaucin had nine tackles and an interception. Webb had five tackles and a sack. Boust had eight receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. Pena had seven tackles.

Surrounding their former coach, the 1998 championship team gathered for a photograph prior to the game. This team went 11-2 and beat Central 65-27 that year.

Master gardener offers tips for week
By Judith Parker
Sanger Herald correspondent
Cool fall mornings invite you to enjoy a stroll in the garden with a cup of something hot.
Tasks:
Top dress warm-season lawns with well-composted manure.
Pruning:
Leaf fall is the time to
start pruning — except for apricots and olives, which should have been done in August.
Fertilizing:
Feed cool-weather plants
and vegetables. Planting:
Continue to plant cool- weather annuals and those that use less water such as Classic Coreopsis or hybrids such as ‘Rum Punch’
Perennials: Lantana, Penstemon ‘Margarita BOP’ Bulbs, corms, tubers:
allium, anemone, Babiana. Fruits and vegetables: carrots, lettuce, plant from
seed.
Annuals: snapdragon
(Antirrhinum), calendula, chrysanthemum paludosum.
Trees, shrubs, vines: Cotoneaster.
Enjoy now:
Harvest almonds,
hazelnuts, walnuts and pecans when the outer hulls split open and nuts fall to the ground. Pick up daily or shorten the task by shaking branches or knocking nuts down with a pole. Before shelling, dry nuts in the sun for 2-3 days; properly dried nutmeats should snap in two rather than bend. Use shelled nuts right away, or store in the freezer to prevent oxidation (rancidity), mold, and infestation by ants or small worms.
Things to ponder:
Overnight temperatures in late October occasionally drop below freezing. Frost
protection will be needed for houseplants, citrus, avocados and other cold- sensitive plants.
Do not replace vinca with pansies in the same bed. A soil-borne fungal root rot affects these plants.
Drought tip:
Use drip or soaker hoses
for cool-season vegetable gardens, rather than less efficient overhead or furrow irrigation.
