The two teams played on Oct. 10 in a game that saw the Bearcats defeat the Eagles on a Gaither touchdown and two point conversion in the last two minutes of the game. The two teams finished the regular season with identical 3-1 league records along with Atascadero High School resulting in a three way tie for the PAC 5 League Championship.
