I’ve mentioned the streak numerous times, not just this week. My job is to inform the audience of all the facts. Either way, the streak is always in jeopardy against tough playoff opponents. Should I not mention it until the streak ends? Doubt what I say affects anything on the field

It's a NorCal D-1 Quarterfinal that is worthy of a regional final as De La Salle hosts Saint Francis in the CIF playoffs today.

Saint Francis, ranked #12 in state by @CalHiSports, was #5 in state before the CCS playoffs & impressively won the WCAL with a 13-1 record.

De La Salle, ranked #3 in the state & 22-1 on the field, is coming off a repeat NCS D-1 crown and its 8th in the last 9 playoffs.

This is the 5th year of the CIF Regional Championships with the Spartans winning 3 of the first 4, including the first one in 2022, when De La Salle rallied for 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th for a 7-6 win over the Lancers.

“He would have just told me to go out there and kick some butt. He’d find a way to make me smile."

“My dad would be so proud of Najae, but he wouldn’t be surprised."

“I had just talked to (Beam) the day before (the shooting) about Najae.”
