That's right. I was at the Elk Grove Atwater game, but I forgot what year it was. Elk Grove kicked the crap out of Atwater. Although I lived about 10 min. from Atwater I was rooting the North section. If I remember correctly I think Atwater played in the sectional title the following year against Grant. The Northern section dominated in the finals.
Did you happen to play for the Pacers? Also, was this Chad Elliot's last year with the Miners before he headed off to play for Grant?
@RonBurgundy209 Yeah it was this same 1997 year Elk Grove beat Atwater for the section i think like 77-21 or something like that, and it was a week after they beat us(Grant) 30-27 on a FG with 8 seconds remaining in the game. Also, this is one year after Chad took Grant to the section in 1996.
Did they make it to the section title that year? I'm a huge N.U. fan and the Grant and N.U. rivalry was one of the best in the Sac-Jaoquin section. Grant has always been a very good team.
@RonBurgundy209 No they lost to Elk Grove 30-27. The City Championship game. Elk Grove beat Atwater the nxt week to take Section. Yeah the Grant vs NU is still in my opinion the best HS Football rivalry in the section up to date...
Yeah it would've been a back2back if Grant beat Elk Grove. I played 2003. This season is actually the year after Chad left.
