It featured The Pleasant Hill Rams -vs- the Clayton Valley Eagles.

Big mistake shutting PHHS, It was a great campus.
Never have understood that move.
Really enjoyed my freshman year there.
Did you choose YV or College Park?
YV
All my friends were going there and most importantly, the kid across the street with the car!
Many schools were closed due to “declining enrollment” but these days there are more people than ever plus there is a “housing shortage” but school campuses never were reopened. Consider this:

1960 409,030 36.8%
1970 558,389 36.5%
1980 656,380 17.5% – Start of school closures due to “declining enrollment.”
1990 803,732 22.4%
