Gary opens up the discussion about the win-or-go home scenario for the Don Lugo Conquistadors. As over a majority of the season, the Conquistadors have faced suffocating loss after loss games while only recently picking wins against Montclair High School on October 18 and against Chino High School in the Milk Can 2019 on October 25. So after retaining the Milk Can for the fourth year in a row yet also suffering a heavy and sad season, did the Conquistadors have what it takes to defeat the Diamond Bar Brahmas?

A back and forth game that contained much needed defense and offense between the two teams. Explaining the plays that took place each quarter, what the players did right and what the players did wrong. Not only critiquing the players on the field, but also critiquing their predictions of what they thought was going to happen; as made on Jock of All Trades – The Deal.
