That was short lived. As many of his naysayers said at the time he was hired, two and done.

I just read where he dad pulled her off the team. Looks like her HS career just came to an abrupt end.

Final score 76-38 this afternoon at Miramonte.

Thompson is considered a top 15 pick at least, just a matter of what position he plays. Some like him at RB over LB in the NFL. Sample probably a 2nd or 3rd rounder at safety.

Wide receivers coach Rob Likens is headed to Kansas to be its new offensive coordinator. He was a key recruiter for the Bears. As of now, Cal hasn't had any local recruits re-open their recruitment.

Folsom 2016 OL/DL Jonah Williams has picked up an offer from Northwestern. He is one of the best returning players in the region.

After getting pounded by DLS 2 years in a row, they used their proximity to Sacramento and crony connections to strike a back room deal that would prevent them from playing DLS in 2014.

High school sports are supposed to teach kids to work hard, become better players and believe in themselves.

The 2014 Folsom story is the exact opposite -- it's a story of cowardice, jealousy and taking the easy way out.

It's the latest example of the modern "every kid deserves a trophy" mentality.

Folsom should be ashamed.

SMB should have won this division. The death of their dean on Sunday had an effect on these girls on Monday. Mr Shum was very popular and well liked.

Brittany Sykes of Syracuse tore her ACL last March. In her third game back, just a couple days ago, she tore the same ACL again.

Obviously, it's different for every person, but it just seems to me erring on the side of caution is the way to go. If you have two ACL operations on the same knee, that's pretty much a guarantee of early arthritis and really, a lifelong issue.

Now if you're coming back for a contract worth several hundred thousand dollars, maybe it makes sense to push it. But Candace Parker rushed back in high school, and her knee still bothers her. She's a great player, but her defense is way below par, and some say it's because her lateral movement isn't there because of her knee issues.

Again, some kids are good to go in five months and never feel a twinge again. You just never know ...

His job was well done. May his family find comfort in this time of need. He will be missed !

Can anyone tell me why Oak Ridge High School never plays in the tougher tournaments? Aren't they suppose to be good? We know people in El Dorado Hills were the high school is and they say it's all smoke and mirrors there. They normally have a good record but it's always against weak teams... The good teams beat them. It's all about money and who is in with who there... That's what we hear.

Does anyone have the final score in the Piedmont - Lick game on Saturday?

NCS D4 versus SJS D4

If Brookside goes open......

How can 2015 offensive lineman, Oklahoma commit from San Ramon Valley Dru Samia and 2016 defensive back from Pittsburg Shurod Thompson with multiple D1 offers not be on any of these lists?
