Consecutive points: Salinas opened the game by scoring 21 straight points in a 43-42 overtime loss to Placer in the State Nor Cal D4-AA bowl game.
Penalties: The Cowboys were guilty of 135 yards worth of penalties in the first half - including three straight 15-yard unsportsmanlike.
Turnovers: Salinas created two in the first half that led to touchdowns, including Andre Calder's 35-yard interception for a pick six.
Gamble: The decision to go for two in the fourth quarter instead of the extra point turned a potential two-possession game into a one possession battle, which Placer capitalized to force OT.
Streaks: The overtime loss for Salinas snapped a 10-game winning streak, the longest in the county this year.
