The Sac-Joaquin Section power ratings were released on Monday, and for the second week in a row the St. Mary’s girls basketball team is No. 2 in Division III. This was the case last week when the first power ratings were released How does this happen? I’ve lost count how many times I’ve answered that question [...]

Who’s house?

I’ve listened to an endless number of coaches and athletes over the years tell me how frustrating it is when teams don’t get any support from the student body, home or away. Don’t count Edison volleyball coach Gabe Leal or his players among the disgruntled. About 70 students and staff wearing matching t-shirts with “E House” [...]

OK, I”ve been really bad about this blogging thing. Now that summer’s out and football has kicked off, I’ll be posting at least three times a week. Saw a great game tonight. Stagg scored two touchdowns late the fourth quarter, including  the game winner — a Jamen Jones catch with five seconds left — plus a [...]

You would think Jesuit, which opened the 2008 foootball season with a 52-0 loss to St. Mary’s, would have been looking forward to today’s rematch for the past 12 months.
