Steph's incredible. This past summer, he saw a video of this kid from Minnesota making a long 3-pointer in a game in his school gym. The crowd went crazy and Wyatt, wearing a Curry jersey, did the night-night celebration! Steph sent him a video and invited him to tonight's game!

Congrats Cohen Dwyer (Woodland).

Caught 4 passes for 156 yds (13th TD of season) & had an int on defense (now has 8 for yr, tied for state lead). Not bad for athlete more known in baseball.

State’s Undefeated FB Teams Honor Roll.
This week, the list has been cut to 34 from 48. One of those to fall off, Ukiah, did so in a wild-and-wacky 58-55 loss to Redwood of Larkspur.

I remember when Chloe was an underclass her mom wanted me to take a picture with her..I was honored that a parent would ask me…Chloe is a hard worker…congrats
stay in your lane you lame...you're obviously a nobody that things they are somebody...I wasted my last breath on you...find someone else to take out your lack of self esteem on
In 45yrs covering high prep sports I've met some coaches or people calling themselves "coach" that are pretty full of themselves..& those that are humble..last week I interviewed Carson Palmer after his Santa Margarita team had a huge win over St John Bosco for CA #1..humble pie

286-0-1. Now that's a streak.
Final: De La Salle 31, San Ramon Valley 14. De La Salle improves to 8-0, SRV 7-1. Gallant effort by Wolves but De La Salle extends NCS unbeaten streak to 287 (286-0-1). Great stream from De La SalleTV and announcers @BayAreaPreps and @DaminEsper

REMINDER: The 2026-27 Preseason #FAB50 Rankings 🏀 will be released in a 3-part series, Sunday, Nov. 1 (4 pm ET) through Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Our 40th consecutive season ranking #HSBB teams🔥
Finalizing the order now; so much turnover that it somewhat mirrors #CBB; Inner-city schools & small states getting tougher each year to keep up.
