Excited to celebrate the amazing career of some of the top players in Norcal one last time!

Hope to see you there!

Palo Alto beat Los Gatos 9-1 on Wednesday behind home runs from Henry Bolte, Danny Peters and Zachary Thom. Sam Papp gave up one run over six innings with five strikeouts.

The Vikings, which led 5-0 after two innings, will play at Los Gatos on Friday.

College Park (10-8) beat Campolindo (8-8) 12-1 and 6-0 this week. In the 6-0 win on Thursday, Michael Barnett threw a six hit shutout with 10 strikeouts.

Diego Emerling went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBI.

At the top of the DAL - Foothill Division, Acalanes is 5-1 followed by Clayton Valley Charter at 5-2 and College Park at 5-3.

He will be announcing his college commitment

My guess is Hawaii or New Mexico St. As these two schools seem to have been most recently recruiting him.

The Damian Lillard Classic has a couple of spots open in both the Gold division (4 games) and the Silver division (3 games). Dates 12/27 -12/29 for the Silver division and 12/27-12/30 for the Gold. If you have any questions please email damianlillardclassic@gmail.com.

Tamalpais beat Redwood 3-2 in eight innings in the first of two games this week. The two teams will play again on Friday.

Matteo Bellisimo had a double and reached base three times for Tamalpais. Kaiden Dossa got the start and gave up one run over five innings.

For Redwood, Charlie Welch went 2-for-3 with a RBI. Rory Minty gave up two runs (one earned) over six innings for the Giants.

Wherever I look I see that DLS has only 7 games on their schedule. Does anyone have a more updated schedule for the Spartans?

Claxton was one of the best players in NorCal this past season and could prove to be a really quality pickup for CPP.

He absolutely blew up in the first few weeks of AAU and in the last week has been offered by Kansas, Oregon, Texas, Indiana, Tennessee and UConn amongst others.

The secondary is usually an area of strength for the Spartans and Journey McKoy (5-foot-11, 165 pounds) will be one of their top options this coming season. McKoy is a playmaking defensive back who can play deep coverage from the safety position and track the ball. He also has good speed which shows up as a runner too. He committed to Nevada on Saturday.

Granite Bay swept Folsom this week with wins over 4-3, 5-3 and 3-0. In the 3-0 win on Saturday, the Grizzlies no-hit Bulldogs including 6.2 innings from Luke Simpkins, who struck out nine batters. Dominic Houghton got the final out. John Alkire threw a complete game three hitter for Folsom.

The SFL has a three way tie for first place between Oak Ridge, Granite Bay and Whitney.

Tillery was one of the top guards in the area this past season for the SJS Division II champions.

De La Salle won at Foothill 4-0 behind a combined four hitter from Cal Randal and Sam Sitzman.

Cade Cushing had two RBI for the Spartans and Anthony Martinez added a home run.

Coach Summerville

Cal Hi Sports just named Stuart Hall senior Brandon Lum their D5 player of the year. A great honor and first player in Hall history to win a Cal Hi Sports State POY Award!

Earlier this week they named Hall Coach Charley Johnson D5 coach of the year.

I know the negative comments will come naturally, but I thought these two deserved recognition for their accomplishments.

It should be noted that during the Mt Shasta game, there was no mention made but Coach J let a Mt Shasta player have their moment after the Hall took a big enough lead. Stuff like this often goes unrecognized, but their is more to coaching then just coaching a game.

Pleasant Valley has been pretty dominant against a mostly Northern Section schedule, but it does have wins over Lincoln and Rio Americano. Five players have double digit RBI and seven players have double digit runs scored. On the mound, RJ Priddy has gone 6-0 with a 0.91 ERA. In total, they have outscored their opponents 126-42.

Today, the Vikings will take on 17-4 Foothill-Palo Cedro
