Redwood High's veteran baseball coach Mike Firenzi predicted San Rafael – the sixth-seed – could pose problems for his top-seed league champion Giants in Wednesday's MCAL baseball semifinals.

Redwood High's Theo Trono tripled and scored in the bottom of the 10th inning and doubled in the tying run in the bottom of the 11th to help keep the Giants in the MCAL baseball championship game against Novato at Albert Park on Friday night.

The logical assumption after a two-day, 15-inning dogfight for the MCAL tourney title last weekend was that the effort would take something out of the Redwood High baseball team as it opened North Coast Section playoffs this week.

Redwood High senior pitcher Jack Moseley was large and in charge Friday in the quarterfinals of the North Coast Section Division I baseball playoffs.

Receiver Charlie Anderson had some room to move in the Redwood High football team's season debut on a sunny Saturday in Larkspur.

The journey was arduous and at times, seemingly interminable, but the Redwood High football team finally climbed the mountain to reclaim the Mt. Tam trophy for the first time in five years as the Giants knocked off archrival Tam 41-21 in a non-league game on a sweltering Thursday in Larkspur.

Marin Catholic quarterback Dylan Skrinar carried a quiet confidence into Friday night's home opener against undefeated Edison.

The cat's out of the bag. “We love our screens,” Redwood High receiver Charlie Anderson said.

In an unlikely case of deja vu, the Marin Catholic High football team survived a scare from visiting Windsor and for the second consecutive season the Wildcats escaped with a 28-27 victory on a chilly Friday night in Kentfield.

The Redwood High football team was seeing 20-20 in a Redwood Empire-Valley first-place showdown Saturday in Larkspur.
