Coach Bobby McCall has led the Valley Falls Druids to their last three state championships, and this year is off to a similar start. In tonight's game, the Druids are facing off against the Crowley's Point Jackals. The Druids are up by seven points at halftime, and things are looking good as the team heads to the locker room for their mid-game pep talk.
