On the freshly painted lines of Davidson Field, the Frosh Football team attempted to continue their undefeated Sunset League streak.  Things looked promising as the Barons took the opening kickoff back 80 yards for a touchdown, however, after that, the game slowed to a 12 round slug fest between two heavy weight prize fighters.  The Barons never gave up and left every ounce of zeal on the field, but during the last drive to win the game the Barons fell short, 21-14.  Next week the Barons will be traveling down Magnolia to take on the vile Chargers.  Go Barons!!
