The Huntington Park game was played befoe a larger than usual crowd, that was largely the work of Owen. He convinced the student council leaders to attend the game and provide music. "We played harder," Owen acknowledged the day after the game. "We wanted to impress our friends and put on a good show. Having them play the music was pretty sweet.." Now he needs to persuade them to come to the playoff games.
