There was plenty of spirit in the stands and on the field during the CIF semifinal football playoffs in Orange County last weekend.
The fans, the bands, the spirit squads were out in force at the Northwood-Vista Del Lago and Cypress-Newport Harbor games.
OC Sports Zone celebrates with a look at all the spirit on this Thanksgiving week. A reminder to check out our coverage of the CIF finals Friday and Saturday on OC Sports Zone, a free website for Orange County.
