GAME OF THE WEEK: La Quinta @ Palm Desert - The Flag Game
The La Quinta Blackhawks taking on the Palm Desert Aztecs in the annual Flag Game is typically a match-up to look out for every season, but Friday's game was a little more special tonight, as the district increased the number of fans allowed in the stands in an effort to allow more senior students to attend the last game of the season.
