Citrus Heights, CA (MPG) - Alex Turcotte, president of the Citrus Heights Rotary Club, presented the Citrus Heights Bowl trophy to Mesa Verde High School coaches and team after their win over San Juan High School in the annual Citrus Heights Bowl game played on October 13.
Mesa Verde jumped to an early lead which San Juan was unable to overcome in the second half. This marks the 14th year of the Rotary sponsored bowl game between the two Citrus Heights high schools, which has seen Mesa Verde winning most of them.
The Citrus Heights Rotary Club has helped sponsor programs at both schools, as well as providing scholarships to needy students who wish to attend local community colleges. Both schools encourage community support for the game and hope Citrus Heights residents put September 14 on their calendar for next year's game.
