Today the nation is hurting. We lost Coach John Beam. A lot of folks met him through Netflix and “Last Chance U” but out here in the Bay he was already a legend long before the cameras showed up.
Beam spent decades at Skyline and Laney, built a powerhouse, and brought Laney a national championship. But the wins were never the whole story.
He followed the blueprint laid down by his mentor Stan Peters. Build players, sure, but build men first. Anyone who came through his program knows exactly what that means. He changed lives. He opened doors. He pushed you, challenged you, and believed in you even when you didn’t fully believe in yourself.
His impact runs deep across generations of Bay Area football. And today, all of us who were touched by his work are feeling this loss.
Rest easy, Coach Beam. Your legacy lives on in every player you molded and every life you lifted.
@fresh____q@SacMaxPreps Seems like CC over Downey in seeding is wrong:
Dow 7-3 league champ
CC 5-5 3rd place
They only separated by less than 1 mp point. Dow loses points every game in league except Turlock game. Even tho they win by 40+
