A well fought game s always between these two long running rivalries. Absent event that marred to 2022 meeting. Barstow had a ruff first half with various penalties that lead to a touchdown tackle in the end zone giving Ridgecrest its’ only score. Coaching would have told the quarterback that running out of bounds would have only allowed for a safety and two points.

Barstow appears to have a developing passing game that complements a running game that cane become a lethal offense in upcoming league play.
