The varsity football game on Friday night was pushed back to a later start due to heat, and OHS provided both the Mustangs and Gauchos with huge power fans on the sidelines. Shown are defensive players Jon Singleton (24) and Junior Rodin (21) cooling off by the fan. DENNIS D. CRUZ/THE LEADER
Oakdale’s home opener Friday night against El Capitan was a hot ticket. This was the first time Oakdale stepped foot on the new look field at The Corral, and it was the first time fans got to welcome back their state championship team. With temperatures reaching triple digits, the game was pushed back to 8 p.m. and by the time stretching was over and the National Anthem was sung, it was closer to 8:40 p.m. On the sidelines, power fans provided by Oakdale High School ran continually to help keep players, coaches and cheerleaders cool during the game.
