ALLEN, Texas — As if right on cue in the state where 'Friday Night Lights' was turned into a book, a movie and a TV series, the sky opened with pouring rain as the kids from California who rarely see rain, Bellflower St. John Bosco High, could only smile while glancing up at a scoreboard that showed the Braves pouring it on the Allen Eagles.In a $60-million stadium that seats 18,000 and was filled, St. John Bosco became the second consecutive top team from California to come to Texas and inflict a thorough beating on one of Texas' top 6A teams with a 52-14 victory Friday.
