Paso played Atascadero earlier in the season on March 8, 2023, for mountain league, winning 15-8, and while this game was just a scrimmage the ladies still fought hard.

The energy on the sideline was just as important as the routines on the mat and tonight we had amazing teammates who kept the athletes on the mat going so they could perform just as well as we did

The Hawks played the Bearcats previously in 2019, with the Bearcats losing to the opposing team by a single point. Both teams put out their routines playing the entire spectrum: one (being the easiest routine) six (being the hardest), with Paso scoring both times in the level six’s played, in partner stunts and pyramids and tosses.
The up and coming scrimmages for Paso are April 15, 2023 playing another double header against the Saint Joseph Knights, who the Bearcats have already played for in league 17-7, and the Minarets Mustangs.
