The team. possessed the best . center in the league and had par material from tackle to tackle. Sadly lacking in reserves two men in the backfield were suitable high school material. With no better materials» many other schools have won games.The , squad has a capable coach in Tom Nelson. What then is’ wrong with the Nevada City high school football team?
