A Fan obviously wasn't there to see all the possible story lines. This was just one of them. A typical rags to riches for Avis....gets battered around, makes a mistake but still contributes in a big way. Nothing wrong with that.

Not many. Avis was worthy and it made it more interesting that way.

Is no one going to point out that Carmel blew it? That article mentions three crucial errors, and there may have been more. Menlo is a good team, don't get me wrong, but Carmel lost the game more than Menlo won it. Every team needs a few of those though
