Templeton coach Don Crow says, “Atascadero has been the cardiac kids. The last three games they’ve been way behind at half time, and came back to win. Coach Vic Cooper has them playing well, and obviously playing well in the second half. People were a little shocked when they beat San Luis Obispo. But, Atascadero has some good football players, and they have a great tradition over there. We know they’re going to be tough. Tonight, they’ve got a bye, so they may be coming to Templeton to watch us, which is great. It’s Homecoming.”
