Going into the game first round of the North Coast Section playoffs against unbeaten Foothill High of Pleasanton, we weren't too confident.

We kept our energy nice and calm, but right when the first kickoff happened we were ready to play. We, as a team, were doing very well in the first half. We were executing all of our plays to perfection. The defense performed very well against Foothill's top offense.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — Bob Randels, Rose Miller and Teresa Osborne spend most of their waking hours rescuing food.

They're not dumpster divers, but they are relentless in their pursuit of pizzas that weren't picked up, sub shop bread that wasn't used and even small bags of shrimp from the local Red Lobster that didn't get tossed into a pasta Alfredo.

It's sleek, silent and powerful enough to blow holes in the moon. Why wouldn't any gamer want a PlayStation 3? You might have trouble finding one, considering that this will be the system in shortest supply this holiday season. But rarity only makes the desire stronger. Don't forget the PS3 also plays Blu-ray movies, so you can cross a $1,000 Blu-ray player off your wish list as well.
