The rivals split the day's games with the Corning boys winning 2-0 and the Lady Spar- tans holding on for a 1-0 victory. The boys game was a meeting of teams that had previously won tournaments this year. The Cardinals were aggres- sive early and got rewarded in the sixth minute. Salvador Mora was near midfield on the left side of the field when he lobbed a perfect through ball into the path of a racing Eric Figueroa. Figueroa beat Spartans keeper Robert Godina to the ball and shot it past him for a 1-0 lead. The Spartans were on the counterattack for most of the game and had their chances. Alejandro Alvarez hit the post in the 24th minute. Corning came out strong in the second half with Raul Ar- ent hitting a post himself in the 42nd minute. Red Bluff's defense overcame heavy Corning pressure behind Godina and a controversial off- side call helped keep the game at 1-0.

Going into Monday night's game against Ohio State, the standout junior quarterback said he would trade the Heisman Tro- phy he won this season for a na- tional championship because the team honor was more important to him. Instead, the Buckeyes bottled up Mariota and overpowered the Ducks for a 42-20 victory in the first College Football Playoff championship. It may have been Mariota's fi- nal game at Oregon. He has until Thursday to decide if he will skip his senior season and declare for the NFL draft. Mariota, who has already completed his degree, is expected to be a top pick. Did the devastating loss change his mind about coming back? "I'm sure it will weigh in a little bit, but there's a lot of other things that have to play into that deci- sion," he said.
