December 1 Game Results &
Tournament Scores--(Dec. 2, 1999)

We've tried to get as many of the scores and details of games taking place all over the SoCal area as possible from yesterday, and we think we've gotten most of them.  If you know of a score or a result we missed, send us an e-mail, or post it up on the message board. For the tournaments, they're organized alphabetically by the name of the tournament;  for non-league games, the best we can do is organize them alphabetically using the first letter of the winning team.
