Bearcats Come Close to Capturing Paw
It was an exciting yet heartbreaking weekend for the Bearcats, as we sadly lost to Burlingame in the 84th annual Little Big Game on Saturday. Although defeated physically, the game was a perfect representation of our dedication and love for Mateo.
Coming into the game, SMHS was battling a team that had won six more games during the regular football season than they had. In the first few minutes, Burlingame scored its first touchdown, following it later with a second one that same quarter. Players and fans discouraged, the Spirit Commissioners, Marcello Palazzo and Nicholas Wetherbee, felt it was time to up the spirit. “I was definitely disappointed and pessimistic at that point. Everyone was still cheering though, and I think it helped us come back and make the game close,” said Nicholas. “I knew we could get back up,” added Marcello. Together they led cheer after cheer, passionately sporting the Bearcat spirit San Mateo’s famous for.
