    Really interesting finish with two lines exchanging lot of love and respect. Final: Mater Dei 31, St. John Bosco 24. Good stuff. No moral victories they say but Bosco has to feel good with this finish heading into next year with so much coming back.

    FUTURE COACH? Najee Harris seemed a natural leading more than 200 kids ages 6-11 during the morning session at Antioch HS. Marshawn Lynch and Isaiah Dunn also helped out at the first annual Da Bigger Picture youth camp.

    Serra football coach Patrick Walsh reaches a national audience for he and his Golden State coaches community to advocate youth sports. He appeared a short time ago on a segment of Fox News’ “America Reports with John Roberts and Sandra Smith.”

    Can't thank MaxPreps/co-workers for 15 years of friendships/opportunity. Been lucky enough to cover many of best prep athletes/coaches/games of this generation. I left last week to pursue a new venture at rapidly rising @SBLiveSports. My first day is next week. I can't wait.

    One of Bay Area's greatest HS football players/athletes, former Cal and Detroit Lions running back Jahvid Best just announced as new football coach at Saint Mary's High School in Albany. Best rushed for BA record 3,325 yards/48 TDs as senior at Salesian-Richmond. Great hire.
