Over a 20-game losing streak snapped! Desert Mirage beats Calipatria 38-7 tonight for their first win since 2018. Congrats to Coach Felipe & the boys 🗣

I'm happy for Desert Mirage, man. I'm pretty upfront about my thoughts on 🏈 out here. Gets the best of me sometimes but DM tonight is what it's all about. They hadn't won a game in years, lost 76-0 last week, but they keep at it & earn a W that will make their season. Awesome.

DCA moves to 2-0! Awesome to see local legend and boxing icon Lee Espinoza at the game watching his stud grandson Cannon, who is a future student-athlete of the week. My boy "DCA Deacon" was pretty cool, too crushing nachos with a fresh haircut! @KESQ @BaileyKESQ @DCConqueror pic.twitter.com/0CtkofG9Ey
