I see JUCO baseball being talked about in a bad way. If you get a chance go see one D1 JUCO teams on Florida, Texas or California or even make a trip to Grand Junction Colorado for the World Series. They play some damn good baseball and there are some great coaches. Is every player a power 4 type player, absolutely not but a lot are. Don’t be afraid to give JUCO a chance

Looking forward to winning with a good Santa Rosa group this spring

Although he won't be the pitcher of record, San Joaquin Delta alum and tonight's Brewers starter Robert Gasser was brilliant in 5 shutout innings v. the Dodgers in the NLCS. Another reason why California Community Colleges are a great avenue for baseball prospects.

I can spend the rest of the MLB offseason in peace knowing I won’t have to listen to contentious Dodger fans.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Sources close to the Marist Catholic Football program have confirmed that Zach Loboy has been relieved of his duties as Head Football Coach.

It is believed that the reason Loboy was let go was due to Marist Catholic running up the score to 64-0 in the first half versus Cottage Grove, going against the school’s code of conduct.

Surprising news out of Eugene, Jake Lowther is set to finish the season as Interim Head Coach.

We got bailed out so hard how did JSN not catch that

[Colin ⛈️ @cprattsports]

The San Francisco 49ers are always involved with the game of the year and this was it.

[Christian Vieyra @thecvieyra]

@BlaykeF_2 @Riley_Nowlin56 just ended a MC drive with an INT to give Windsor the ball on the 30.

He then had a 44-yard reception.

Wagner then hit @BlaykeF_2 for a 26 yard score.

Missed PAT means Marin Catholic holds on to a 28-27 lead with 9:13 left in this one.

Literally cannot have a better first start, especially against one of the better programs in the North Bay.

I need to keep an eye on this kid.

[Christian Vieyra @thecvieyra]

@BlaykeF_2 Windsor makes it a one score game. Wagner finds Will Jackson for an 11-yard TD.

28-21 MC with 1:58 to go in the third.

[Manuel Ortega III @mo_reporting]

@thecvieyra Who’s gonna start for Windsor tonight?

[Chase Sutherland @Chasee_2]

Had a great weekend playing in the Big8Bash and Sophomore showcase. Went 1/3 with a backside HR in the bash and 2/2 with a double off RC wall and single to left. Also threw out 3 runners in the showcase. #uncommitted

Set 4: Delta takes the game 25-18

Bear Cubs made too many mistakes, not converting shots and overall outplayed by Delta.

3-1 Delta

[Manuel Ortega III @mo_reporting]

Made it to Haehl Pavilion with @cprattsports today for No. 21 SRJC vs. No. 10 San Joaquin Delta

It’s been a struggle for the Bear Cubs in conference even though they’ve 3-2.

They face a Delta side that’s undefeated in conference. Should be a fun match.

Stay tuned for updates

[Manuel Ortega III @mo_reporting]

Set 3: Delta takes set 25-22

Bear Cubs had a late push but ultimately couldn’t capitalize.

2-1 Delta
