CVC beats Monte Vista 21-17 (Would that be called almost not a win?)
Chico defeats Paradise 41-21 (Now, that's a win!)

No. 1 De La Salle-Concord 37, Granite Bay 0: Antoine Custer rushed for 149 yards, Andrew Hernandez added 128 and Anthony Sweeney passed for 192 yards and three scores as the visiting Spartans (4-1) overcame a sloppy first half to beat the Grizzlies (3-2). De La Salle committed four first-half turnovers but got a late safety from Joe Vranesh to help take a 16-0 halftime lead. Custer scored on a 55-yard run, Hernandez added a 24-yard TD jaunt and Sweeney connected on a 73-yard scoring strike to Isaiah Randle — all in the third quarter. De La Salle outgained Granite Bay 557-114 and recorded four sacks.

No. 3 Clayton Valley-Concord 21, No. 6 Monte Vista-Danville 17: Luis Ramos scored the go-ahead touchdown with a 1-yard dive on 4th-and-goal with 5:06 left, completing an impressive comeback for the host Eagles (4-1, 1-0 East Bay League). Monte Vista quarterback Jake Haener drove the Mustangs (4-1, 0-1) to the Clayton Valley 37 before three consecutive sacks halted the drive. The Eagles took over and sealed the win with two first downs. Clayton Valley running back Ray Jackson III carried 32 times for 199 yards and two touchdowns. Ramos had 90 yards on 28 carries. Haener threw for 257 yards and two scores. Clayton Valley safety Jake Peralta set up the winning drive with an end zone interception on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Mission 42, Lincoln 26: At Kezar Stadium, Niamey Harris ran for three touchdowns and threw for two more as the Bears (2-3, 1-0 AAA) scored 34 straight points after trailing 20-8 to defeat the Mustangs (2-3, 0-1). Mission trailed 20-14 at the half but outscored Lincoln 20-0 in the third quarter. The Mission defense forced two fumbles in that period, the second leading to Harris’ final touchdown with 11:13 to play. Despite the high-scoring game, Mission coach Joe Albano was satisfied with his defense’s performance as two of Lincoln’s touchdowns came on a kickoff return and an interception return. Jacquez Williams-Chish recovered a fumble and scored two touchdowns, including one on a game-opening 80-yard kick return for Lincoln. Mission beat Lincoln 36-12 in last year’s AAA/San Francisco Section title game.

SF Chronicle Article

There’s no substitute for composure, especially at quarterback.

Bellarmine senior Troy Martig has it, as he displayed Friday night in his team’s 36-28 win over Serra at San Jose City College.

Martig overcame an interception in the end zone right before halftime and then every Serra challenge — there were many — as No. 2 Bellarmine (4-0, 1-0 West Catholic Athletic League) edged the No. 4 Padres (2-2, 0-1).

The 6-foot, 180-pound Martig finished with 286 total yards and three touchdowns. Four turnovers also hurt Serra, which had 499 yards total offense. Bellarmine gained 418 yards.

With his team up 10-7, Martig scrambled 50 yards up the middle but was tackled at the 1 with 22 seconds left in the half. He attempted to throw for the final yard, but Serra cornerback Jovon Johnson jumped a slant route and made the interception.

When Kelepi Lataimua (19 carries, 183 yards) scored his second touchdown on the second play of the second half, this one on a 52-yard jaunt, Serra led 14-10.

But that was no problem for Martig.

As he’s done for most of his career, Martig responded, with touchdown runs of 51 and 12 yards, Combined with a second TD run by Antonio Garcia, Bellarmine looked in complete command, up 30-14 early in the fourth quarter.

But Serra junior quarterback Leki Nunn (316 total yards) completed a fourth-down, 7-yard scoring toss to Brandon Monroe to close to 30-20 with 8:33 to go. Martig responded again, this time with a 52-yard scoring strike to Central Coast Section sprint champ Kyle Macauley.

Serra once again fought back behind Nunn, who completed an 18-yard TD pass to Nikolao Vaefaga and added a two-point conversion run to make it 36-28.

But Martig (21 carries, 156 yards) helped put the game away with a first-down run.

It looks as if again this year we will not have the two best teams in Northern California playing each other for the right to go to the State Open Game.

Why can't the CIF just say that the two best teams in Northern and Southern California will play each other, with the winner going to the Open Game and the loser to the D-1 game. As it will probably play out this year, we will have Folsom again ducking DLS as they did last year. At least in Southern California we can probably look forward to Centennial Corona playing St. John Bosco.

Let's get it right and have the two best teams play each other in out part of the state.

I'm gonna go with DV over CAMPO at home. The home crowd and DV's gimmick run game just might be enough to do the job against a Campo team that struggled with Dublin at home.

By Mitch Stephens

Five of the eight West Catholic Athletic League football teams have won all of their three nonleague games — and the only loss for Serra was to national juggernaut De La Salle-Concord.

Northern California’s top football league, the members of which are a combined 18-6, begins league play this week and looks as tough and solid as ever. This year, another team has joined the ranks of the contenders: unbeaten Riordan.

The 12th-ranked Crusaders (3-0), who open WCAL play at 3 p.m. Saturday at Mitty, have gone 3-39 in league play since 2009. But under first-year coach Kevin Fordon and a superb senior class, Riordan has outscored three opponents 117-44.

That includes a 48-21 win at defending Central Coast Section Open Division champion Sacred Heart Prep-Atherton(coming off three straight 13-win seasons) and a 49-14 defeat of 2014 North Coast Section Division IV playoff finalist St. Mary’s-Berkeley.

Riordan “is a very frightening team,” Serra coach Patrick Walsh said. “When their senior class came in as freshmen, you could see all the talent. Now with Kevin on board, with all his enthusiasm and passion, they are very legitimate. He’s doing a great job.”

Besides two superb breakaway backs — Raymone Sanders (326 yards, four touchdowns) and Jason Greene (275, five) — Riordan has an experienced quarterback in Jacky Luavasa, an all-returning offensive line and a very active defense. Aidan Verba-Hamilton is not only one of three deep receiving threats, but he also has returned three kickoffs at least 94 yards each for touchdowns in 2015.

The other teams at a glance, by Chronicle ranking:

No. 2 Bellarmine (3-0): Coach Mike Janda returns 13 starters from last year’s squad and it’s loaded with speed, led by Central Coast Section sprint champion Kyle Macauley and one of the region’s grittiest quarterbacks in Troy Martig. Bellarmine has a 34-31 win at SJS power Del Oro-Loomis.

No. 4 Serra (2-1): In his 15th season, this might be Walsh’s best team at the skill positions, led by quarterback Leki Nunn, running back Kelepi Lataimua and receiver Brandon Monroe. The success of the Padres, ineligible for the postseason, depends on their inexperienced offensive line.

No. 9 Valley Christian (3-0): The Warriors, who host Sacred Heart Cathedral on Saturday night, lost the league’s top recruit for the season in Texas-bound receiver Collin Johnson with a shoulder injury. VC has plenty of other options, led by QB Miles Kendrick and RBs Morian Walker and Akil Jones. VC showed toughness in a 22-21 win over No. 15 Milpitas.

No. 10 St. Francis (3-0): Experience at quarterback (Kamalii Akina) and running back (Lutoviko Ahoia), along with a stingy defense — the Lancers have allowed only 27 points — figure to keep the defending CCS Division II champions in the WCAL race. St. Francis plays at St. Ignatius on Saturday.

No. 11 Mitty (3-0): Samuel Serra, who skipped last season to focus on basketball, has been perhaps the league’s top player with 478 passing and 220 rushing yards, along with 12 total TDs. Derek Bauerle (324 rushing yards) also has been effective on the ground.

St. Ignatius (0-3): The Wildcats have been competitive in losses to No. 13 Campolindo-Moraga, No. 17 Marin Catholic-Kentfield and SJS power St. Mary’s-Stockton.

Sacred Heart Cathedral (1-2): For a second straight year, injuries have depleted the Irish, who feature perhaps the league’s best running back in Jamar Williams-Sheppard (6-foot-2, 215) and two-way lineman Keith Ismael (6-3, 300).

Games of the week

No. 2 Bellarmine (3-0) at No. 4 Serra (2-1) at San Jose City College, 7 p.m. Friday — Serra defeated Bellarmine 28-14 in Week 10 last season to claim the outright WCAL championship.

No. 13 Campolindo-Moraga (4-1) at Dougherty Valley-San Ramon (5-0), 7 p.m. Friday — From 2011 to 2014, Campolindo was 51-4 and Dougherty Valley 9-32.

No. 1 De La Salle-Concord (3-1) at Granite Bay (3-1), 7 p.m. Friday — The state 2012 Division I champion, Granite Bay won three straight before a 27-13 loss to state-ranked and undefeated Folsom last week.

Mission (1-3) vs. Lincoln (2-2) at Kezar Stadium, 7 p.m. Friday — Rematch of 2014 San Francisco Section championship game features the two clear favorites for the 2015 AAA championship.

No. 6 Monte Vista-Danville (4-0) at No. 3 Clayton Valley-Concord (3-1), 7 p.m. Friday — Stops might be at a minimum. Monte Vista averages 45 points and 445 yards per game. Clayton Valley averages 33 and 423.

No. 19 Wilcox-Santa Clara (3-0) at Los Gatos (1-2), 7 p.m. Friday — Los Gatos is coming off a dramatic, 33-30 win at previously state-ranked St. Mary’s-Stockton.

No. 12 Riordan (3-0) at No. 11 Mitty (3-0), 3 p.m. Saturday — Two first-year head coaches — Riordan’s Kevin Fordon and Mitty’s Keith Burns — are off to resounding starts.

Most of them in SO. Cal right now...

San Mateo Daily Journal

A week after getting stunned with a 43-30 loss to unranked San Joaquin Delta, the No. 5-ranked College of San Mateo Bulldogs have to reload for one of their biggest nemeses of a year ago.

No. 8 American River pays a visit to College of Heights Stadium Saturday at 1 p.m. And the Bulldogs hope to be as inhospitable hosts as the Beavers were a year ago.

On Oct. 4, 2014 — while San Francisco Giants slugger Brandon Belt was etching his place in postseason lore with an epic 18th inning home run to defeat the Washington Nationals in Game 2 of National League Division Series — American River was putting the finishing touches on a 24-14 drubbing of CSM.

The Bulldogs entered last season’s Week 5 matchup ranked No. 1 in the state. But that all changed after they suffered their first loss of the season. The Beavers’ catalyst was now-graduated sophomore quarterback Tanner Trosin, who gained 244 total yards.

“I thought they played OK,” CSM defensive line coach Dave Heck said. “We just couldn’t tackle their damn quarterback.”

Three current sophomore defensive linemen played in that game for CSM, and are intent on not allowing a repeat performance. The stern core three defensive tackles feature some size in 6-2, 290-pound Fou Polataivao and 6-1, 285-pound Anthony Ameperosa; but laying his claim to the third starting tackle position is the stealthier 6-2, 260-pound Cody Brown.

“[Brown] is a pretty strong kid pound for pound,” Heck said. “If you’re going up against linemen who are 6-6, 340 pounds, you’ve got to have good technique. He’s a good technician.”

One of five Serra alumni on roster at CSM, Brown is anticipating American River as again posing a matchup that will define the course of the season.

With Trosin having transferred to Southern Oregon Universeity, American River is now helmed by sophomore quarterback Jihad Vercher. A more prototypical pass-intensive quarterback than was the dual-threat, mad-dashing Trosin, Vercher ranks 12th in the state with 1,027 passing yards while having thrown just one interception through four games.

Like Vercher, Brown wasn’t a starter in last year’s game. The Pacifica native saw approximately one quarter of playing time. But he has started every game for the Bulldogs this season.

“They’re a playoff team … so it is definitely a big game for us,” Brown said.

Brown arrived at CSM in 2013, he greyshirted behind a trio of Division-I talent. All three 2013 linemen transferred to D-I programs, with Rika Levi going to Texas Tech, Trevor Kelly going to Cal and Pio Vatuvei going to Louisville.

The structure of the defensive line has changed since the 2013 season, when Levi, Kelly and Vatuvei each had their roles set in stone. This year, Heck is depending on more versatility from his middle three, which he often pairs down to two. With CSM having surrendered 104 points through four games thus far, the chemistry is still a work in progress.

Brown is coming off a modest performance against Delta, but totaled two sacks in CSM’s pervious three wins, a mark that currently leads the team. The consensus among the Bulldogs, however, is that they stunk against Delta.

“We got outcoached and outplayed, period,” CSM head coach Bret Pollack said. “We got flat out beat.”

The Mustangs jumped out to a 16-0 first-quarter lead — much in part to CSM committing turnovers on each of its first two possessions — and Delta was able to hold off the Bulldogs from there.

“They had their best game, we played our worst,” Brown said. “It was definitely a wakeup call.”

The first-quarter disaster actually could have been worse. The Mustangs scored touchdowns on each of their first two possessions, then drove downfield a third time and into the red zone to earn first-and-goal from the CSM 3-yard line. Delta ultimately settled for a field goal, specifically because on the bullish defense of sophomore inside linebacker Peter Tuipulotu — another one of CSM’s five Serra alumni.

The inside linebacker position has been mired by an identity crisis thus far, according to linebackers coach Matthew Taufoou. But Tuipulotu made a case for himself as a go-to guy with two goal-line stops.

“Any time we stop a score, it’s important,” Taufoou said. “So, those were definitely big stops.”

The highlight of the two came on second down, as Delta opened a hole through the middle. Mustangs running back Evan Owens had a field day in the game, rushing 24 times for a career-high 188 yards. But when he darted towards end-zone daylight, Tuipulotu rushed to plug it, hitting Owens for no gain at the 1.

“Our job is to win the 1-on-1 battles, and that’s what happened,” Tuipulotu said.

Tuipulotu and Brown were teammates for four years at Serra, and are now in their third year together at CSM. Both are now sophomores after taking greyshirts in 2013. The other Serra alumni are freshmen inside linebackers Tyson Terreros and Daniel Lavulo, and freshman defensive back Nick Maka.

“We’re all really tight,” Brown said. “We’ve been playing together forever.”

Missed posting this earlier, but Monte Vista/Lakeshow 2016 post Spencer LaShells has committed to Chico State.

Casa Grande sophomore AJ Miller has committed to Oregon.

He will join NorCal Baseball teammate Vinny Tosti (Cardinal Newman) in the Ducks' recruiting class.

McClymonds High School junior varsity football coach De'Carlos Anderson was placed on administrative leave after video surfaced of him tackling student during a bus trip.

A popular junior varsity football coach at Oakland’s McClymonds High School was placed on administrative leave Monday after video surfaced of him tackling a student during a bus trip earlier this month, district officials said Tuesday.

De’Carlos Anderson was identified as the coach seen in the video roughing up the student during the team’s return trip from a Sept. 19 game against Del Norte High School in Crescent City (Del Norte County), which the McClymonds junior varsity team won 45-5.

“Certainly what we saw in the video is egregious and very disturbing,” said Troy Flint, a spokesman for the Oakland Unified School District. “It is not representative of this district or the conduct we would expect any employee to exhibit.”


District officials first saw the footage Monday after an anonymous person sent it to them on Twitter.

In the video, Anderson is seen walking up the aisle of the bus, where he begins aggressively speaking to a student. When the student starts to stand up, Anderson shoves him in the chest, knocking him over.

The two begin to grapple, at which point Anderson body-slams the student against another seat on the bus.

Anderson was placed on paid administrative leave while officials interview students and players who were on the bus during the altercation.

“We want to talk to most if not all the people present to determine the context,” Flint said. “But the basic stance on this is violence against a student is unacceptable, and we will impose discipline as warranted by the results of the investigation.”

Anderson could not immediately be reached for comment.

He has worked at the school for four years, starting out as a substitute teacher before becoming a physical education instructor.

Prior to working at McClymonds, Anderson was employed by Alameda County as a youth and family counselor and gang intervention counselor, according to his LinkedIn page.

At McClymonds, Anderson coaches varsity and junior varsity football along with track and field and is a popular student mentor.

“This incident is uncharacteristic of Mr. Anderson by all accounts. He is held in high regard at McClymonds,” Flint said.

“We still have to treat what occurred on the merits of the situation. We have an inflexible principle concerning violence toward students.”
