Del Norte’s offensive strike came during its second possession of the game – a possession the Nighthawks had to start inside its own 5 yard line thanks to a great punt by Fallbrook’s Joe Bishop. On the third play of the possession,...
Last year Fallbrook High School's baseball team won 22 games, which brought respect to the Warriors' program. That has caused opposing coaches to use their top pitchers against Fallbrook this year. "We're getting everybody's #1. They're throwing their #1 pitcher against us every game," said Fallbrook coach Pat Walker. Five games in the Falcon-Pirate Classic tournament began the Warriors' season. Opening Day was March 5 at home against Murrieta Mesa, and the Warriors were on the losing end of the 14-2 final score.

The Del Norte disqualification in the 200-yard freestyle relay, which is the eighth of the 11 events, increased the Fallbrook points lead from two to eight.

After Fallbrook High School's baseball team won its first two CIF playoff games, the Warriors needed only one win in the double-elimination tournament to reach the Division III final. Two losses, both to a Del Norte team the Warriors defeated in the second playoff contest, ended Fallbrook's season one game short of the CIF championship match.
