Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:35:34 GMT

KENTFIELD — A few moments after a desperation pass by McClymonds hit the turf and Marin Catholic celebrated its 35-28 victory in the NorCal 3-A title game Saturday, Michael Peters took a few minutes to stand by himself and reflect upon his 11 years as the Warriors’ head coach.Peters’ career, one that included four state titles and six NorCal championships, did not have a storybook ending. As he thought about his tenure at his alma mater, which began as an assistant coach in 1992, Peters said he was ready to enjoy retirement, but couldn’t help but feel like it could have been delayed by one more week.“It’s over … my career is done,” Peters said, adding after a sigh, “I know we should’ve played better than that.”McClymonds trailed 21-6 at halftime but got rushing touchdowns from Tajir Golden (61 yards) and Redmani Albert (5 yards) and a fumble recovery for a score by Jajaun Hudson.But on two occasions in the second half...

No. 8 Alabama knocks off No. 1 Georgia 27-24 for SEC title. Both teams await postseason fate

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:35:34 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Alabama is again the top dog in the Southeastern Conference — and perhaps headed to the College Football Playoff — after ending Georgia’s 29-game winning streak with a 27-24 victory over the No. 1 Bulldogs in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday.Now, the big question: Is Georgia’s bid for a third straight national title over? Iron Bowl hero Jalen Milroe threw a pair of touchdown passes and No. 8 Alabama’s defense dominated much of the way after giving up a score on Georgia’s opening possession — a compelling playoff statement for a Crimson Tide team that lost at home to Texas early in the season.“A lot of people doubted this team,” said Milroe, who was benched early in the season but has bounced back to become one of college football’s most dynamic players. “I never gave up on this team. That’s the biggest thing.”Alabama (12-1) sorted out its quarterback situation and hasn’t lost since. The victory over Georgia was...

PUEBLO — Once the dust had settled from the blasting winds following Holy Family football’s Class 3A state title-winning effort Saturday afternoon, senior wide receiver Jaxon Grable donned the team’s newly minted banner as a cape, posing for the horde of camera phones in his path.He punched in the No. 2 seeded Tigers’ final touchdown on a 1-yard reception from senior quarterback Rylan Cooney with 8 minutes, 14 seconds left in the game at the CSU-Pueblo ThunderBowl Stadium, and Holy Family defeated No. 5 Lutheran, 33-8, in a contest that was close only for a brief moment.Eight months earlier, he was crowned a state champion in Class 4A basketball when the Tigers defeated Resurrection Christian in the title game.
