Our final two teams bowed out of NorCals today, which brings an end to our coverage of the 25-26 school.

Year 5 in the books for me at the PD. Looking forward to Year 6. Football season will be here before we know it.

Thanks to everyone as always for following along. #PDPreps

The Rams interest in Myles Garrett was sparked shortly after the Browns modified the contract of the seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end in March, pushing back the options bonuses from the 15th day of the league year in March to seven days before the start of the regular season, making it easier to trade him. And now the trade is happening.

This is pretty awesome

@MylesStandish23 won the ‘Newcomer Award’ at the Bear Cub Gala, an awards event dedicated to student athletes that participated in the Fall and Spring at the SRJC!

Well deserved as someone that’s covered him all semester.

I’d like to thank everyone that’s followed me and @SRJCbaseball for postseason coverage.

It’s been an incredible year of the Bear Cubs but ultimately Ohlone were the better team in the end.

I can’t wait to follow fall sports in a few months, and hope you guys will follow along.

[Manuel Ortega III @mo_reporting]

@SRJCbaseball has been eliminated by Ohlone in the Regional Finals in a heart breaker. Losing 6-5.

The run comes to the end after Ohlone takes the lead back in the 8th inning on an RBI single
