In the Northern Section championship game Nov. 24, the Quincy High School football team put up a good fight against top-seeded Maxwell, but fell short in the end 14-6.
After trailing 14-0 at halftime, the Quincy Trojans scored on a short touchdown run by quarterback Cameron Diaz Deleon, while shutting out Maxwell’s potent offense throughout the second half.
“I’m very proud of our defense,” said Quincy coach Tom Goss. “We were pretty solid, except for a couple long plays.”
Don’t put that fishing gear away quite yet
Fall is my favorite time of year. The sometimes too hot days of summer have given way to pleasantly comfortable weather. Even the occasional rains are a welcome change.
Fall brings hunting season and time to harvest bounty of the vegetable garden. The colors are spectacular and the fishing is at its best of the year.
The Portola volleyball team won two playoff matches last week to advance to the Northern Section championship game last Saturday in Red Bluff, where the Tigers lost to top-seeded Hamilton.
Portola, seeded third in Division V, had a first-round bye before hosting East Nicolaus in the quarterfinals Nov. 16.
East Nicolaus had knocked Portola out of the playoffs the past two seasons, and it almost happened again last week, until Portola staged a dramatic come-from-behind victory in game five.
Down 4-8, the Tigers ran 10 straight points behind the serving of Suzanne Filippini, who delivered five aces on the night.
Portola’s Emma Briggs sparked the comeback by scoring four straight points from in front of the net.
The recent winter storms have changed the Plumas County landscape in many ways. Skiers and snowmobile enthusiasts are welcoming the generous blanket of snow.
Some of us anglers are less enthused. But we don't need to be.
Fall bird watching has some aspects unlike any other season in Plumas County.
This is the time of year when raptors leave their northern breeding grounds to search for food no longer available to them in areas covered in snow.
Some of these raptors come to our valleys to hunt for small mammals and other prey.
