👀Football: Foothill (4-5, 2-2) is crafting an under-the-radar playoff bid worth our attention!

Knights started 1-3 overall, 0-2 in Epsilon Lg, BUT going for a third straight win and auto CIF spot v Aliso Niguel on Fri at Tustin HS

That's excellent resiliency from Foothill and 2nd-year coach @coachjellerson
