ust like that, the 2018-19 school year has come to an end.

Just 10 more weeks before the first football games of 2019 kick off.

But before we start counting days — because we’re really not counting days (As far as you know.) — we’re spending our next two issues celebrating the year that just came to an end — faster than a lap from Monterey TrailElk Grove’s 400-meters state champion, Zach Larrier.

Well, maybe not THAT fast.

This issue is the Yearbook Special, our annual photo-centric NorCal sports year in review. Regular readers of SportStars may recognize a few images from our 2018-19 coverage and features, but there are also several images we’ve he’ve held on to until now. We also include our final NorCal Top 20 rankings from football, girls volleyball, boys and girls basketball, wrestling, baseball and softball.

A third and final element to the Yearbook is one we began just a few years ago. It involves thoughtful remarks from various NorCal media members on a variety of topics. Those topics include the most memorable game they attended, favorite stories they told and athletes they’re going to miss.

Next month we turn more awards-heavy with our sixth installment of the Bay Area 75 Rankings. It’s our annual list of the Bay Area’s top 75 athletes from the previous school year, ranked and counted down to No. 1. That issue will also feature our All-NorCal baseball and softball selections.

And before you start to dive into this issue of memorable images, let me give my kudos to all of the freelance photographers who have provided work to us this year.

The stars of this issue — at least the ones who aren’t wearing uniforms — are James K. Leash, David Gershon, Jean-Paul Toshiro, Berry Evans III, Dennis Lee, Gint Federas, Jim Johnson and Ike Dodson. It was Dodson who earned the cover shot this year, capturing Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa quarterback Jasckon Pavitt extending the ball over the goal line during the team’s first game back on its own campus since the Tubbs Fire of October 2017.

Let the review commence. (And psst: Football games in a little more than 70 days.) ✪

chris santiago DE LA SALLE-CONCORD - BASEBALL - SENIOR The Saint Mary’s College-bound infielder closed out a stellar Spartans career in style. In his final high school at-bat, Santiago belted a two-run homer in the sixth inning of the Spartans’ 10-1 defeat of Heritage-Brentwood in the North Coast Section Division I title game. The win completed a 28-1 season for De La Salle and delivered the program its fourth-straight NCS crown. Santiago was 2-for3 with two runs scored and three RBI in the victory. He finished the season batting .407 with teambests in RBI (38) and doubles (13). He was also second on the team with 35 hits. The third baseman also served as the team’s top closer, earning five saves in six scoreless appearances.

San Luis Obispo’s 805 Elite Volleyball Club Earns Its First Bid To Junior Nationals

W

ith a home base in San Luis Obispo, the 805 Elite Volleyball Club has always found itself a bit in limbo.

The club is too south to be a consistent presence in the Northern California Volleyball Association, and a bit too north for a steady dose of Southern California Volleyball Association play.

Whether 805 is playing as a member of NCVA (which it does with its nine girls teams), or SCVA (where its three boys team compete), the club is now firmly on the map. That’s thanks to the 805 Elite 17-Black girls team — which recently punched the 9-year-old club’s first ticket to Junior Nationals.

The 17-Black team went 7-2 over nine USA Division matches at the NCVA Far Western Qualifier in Reno from April 26-28. It was good enough for third-place and an extreme amount of euphoria.

“They were very excited,” 17-Black coach Chip Blaney said. “For a lot of the girls, it’s been a goal since they were little. Since they started playing club volleyball in this area as 12- and 13-year olds. It was something a good majority had been chasing for a long time.”

The oldest girls team within 805 Elite’s program is truly a regional all-star team. It became so after another area club was forced to disband at the end of last year and 805 picked up some of the displaced talent. Six different high schools are represented among the 12 girls — all current juniors along with one sophomore.

“That’s really one of the cool things about this group,” club director and recently named head coach of Cal Poly Women’s Volleyball Caroline Walters said. “It really is a collection of the best kids from our area.”

The team features four players from Arroyo Grande High: Defensive specialist Grace Devaney, middle hitter Taylor MacCuish, hitter Whitney Thompson and hitter Makenna Wolfe. There are three from Mission Prep-San Luis Obispo: Middle blocker Olivia Goodwin, setter Elaina Bosshardt and defensive specialist Brooke Fledderman. San Luis Obispo High has two players: Setter Dylan Van Rooyen and middle blocker, Kayla Craft.

There’s also Phoebe Corgiat, a hitter from Paso Robles High; Jahnine Ricafrente, a libero from RighettiSanta Maria; And Mackenzie Wright, a versatile utility player from Atascadero.

The team has qualified for the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships July 2-5 in Indianapolis.

“The biggest key for them is going to be focusing on the things they’ve done well this season,” Blaney said.

“This won’t be the typical level of competition that we see. But, if they can stay focused and play their game, they’ll surprise themselves — and others — with how well they can play.” ✪ Follow us on Twitter & Instagram, like us on Facebook!

OOK SPECIAL EDITION

AS WE SAW IT NorCal media members weigh in on the 2018-19 season. See more responses at SportStarsMag.com WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE GAME YOU ATTENDED? JIM MCCUE (SportStars): The Sac-Joaquin Section Div. I Boys Basketball Championship. Sheldon-Sacramento finally won a section title after years of heartbreak in the semifinals and finals. The Huskies were without star Marcus Bagley (back injury) and needed a solid team effort led by seniors Kaito Williams and Justin Nguyen to finish the see-saw battle on top. Bench contributions and a full team effort showed why Sheldon was still a top regional power even without its star.

HAROLD ABEND (Cal-Hi Sports/Prep2Prep): Actually two games — both at the CIF State Basketball Championships. First, Oakland High ended a 14-year Oakland Section drought by winning the CIF Div. III state title with an impressive 51-35 victory over McFarland. The following morning, the Oakland Tech girls blew out Northview-Covina 55-27 in the Div. V final. Two things make it more memorable than just it being two teams from Oakland. Oakland High coach Orlando Gray is a cancer survivor who refused to stop coaching while undergoing treatment, and both schools’ seasons faced premature endings during the Oakland teachers’ strike.

MARK TENNIS (Cal-Hi Sports): Liberty-Brentwood coming from behind in the fourth quarter to beat Sierra Canyon-Chatsworth in the CIF Div. 1-A state final was a win for every CIF North Coast Section Div. I runner-up over the past 20-plus years that’s never had a chance to win a state title before (because: De La Salle). It was great to see so many longtime Liberty fans and coaches on the field with the players showing so much emotion afterward.

IKE DODSON (SportStars): Del Oro-Loomis vs. St. Francis-Mountain View in the CIF 2-AA NorCal football finals. I thought St. Francis presented one of the best defensive squads I had ever seen, but Del Oro was also nails on “D” — and QB Carson Jarratt was the decisive playmaker. The Golden Eagles won, 14-13, and reached the CIF Division 2-AA State Bowl Game. This thriller will always stick with me.

AS WE SAW IT NorCal media members weigh in on the 2018-19 season. See more responses at SportStarsMag.com WHAT TEAM OR ATHLETE’S STORY WAS THE MOST FUN FOR YOU TO TELL? STEVEN WILSON (SportStars): I really enjoyed the story of Monterey Trail’s Zach Larrier.

Although I missed all of his efforts on the gridiron, I had the opportunity to catch up with the senior three-sport athlete during track and field season and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him. Not only did he excel at each sport, earning a Division I scholarship to Air Force in football, but everyone I talked to about him raved about him. Monterey Trail football coach TJ Ewing summed it up best with, “He embodies everything you need from all student-athletes.” It’s people like Zach that really make this job fun. He’s going to do great things in the coming years!

MITCH STEPHENS (SF Chronicle/MaxPreps): The Lincoln-San Francisco football team was a kick in the pants. City football is not well attended or very well received. But the Mustangs were definitely worth talking about and watching. They became the first 13-0 squad in SF Section history, outscored opponents 449-128 and dominated teams with a perfect blend of offensive, defense and special teams. Coach Phil Ferrigno said before the season this team was special. He knew it because of their attitudes combined with the talent. The Mustangs reaffirmed his notion over and over and over again.

IKE DODSON (SportStars): Vacaville wrestling. I have always covered teams battling Vacaville for power over the Sac-Joaquin Section, but this year I had the opportunity to cover the eventual section champs and get to know one of the winningest wrestling programs in California. It was exciting to get to know the Bulldogs.

HAROLD ABEND (Cal-Hi Sports/Prep2Prep): A pretty young Marin Catholic-Kentfield girls softball team that lost in last year’s CIF NCS Division III title game and responded by going 25-1 — all while playing every game on the road due to the lack of a facility. The battery mates of sophomore pitcher Annabel Teperson and Utah-bound slugging catcher Julia Scardina came through big-time in the Wildcats 3-1 victory over Sonoma in the NCS Div. III final.

AS WE SAW IT NorCal media members weigh in on the 2018-19 season. See more responses at SportStarsMag.com WHO IS ONE GRADUATING ATHLETE YOU’LL MISS COVERING? IKE DODSON (SportStars): Del Oro-Loomis Wrestler, Noah Blake. I’ve covered Noah every year of his dynamic run to four state wrestling medals, and have seen his growth as a teammate and as a wrestler. I still think he needs to wrestle a little more hungry and a little less brash, but I appreciate the style and the countless interviews.

JIM MCCUE (SportStars): D’Marcus Ross of Capital Christian-Sacramento. I remember first meeting the powerful sophomore RB at a preseason football photo shoot on the CCS campus. He was an imposing presence, but one of the most genuine and inspirational people I have met. Before his senior season, we had another preseason photo shoot on the CCS campus with Ross, Del Oro’s Dawson Hurst, Jesuit’s Isaiah Rutherford, and Christian Brothers’ Tyler Green. Ross and the others were great to work with, and seemed to genuinely enjoy their time talking with one another and sharing stories. His smile was infectious, and some school is going to get a special player and even better person to make their campus, community and team better.

MARK TENNIS (Cal-Hi Sports): I’ll say our Ms. Basketball State Player of the Year, Haley Jones of Archbishop Mitty-San Jose. She displayed a lot of grace and class with all of the honors she won, and deflected attention to teammates in a way that many of the great ones we’ve covered over the years have done. She keeps getting better and better, and we’re hoping she can help lead Stanford to an NCAA title. Want to see Coach Tara VanDerveer get one more. It’s been awhile (1993).

STEVEN WILSON (SportStars): I am really bummed we won’t be able to watch Joseph Ngata terrorize high school secondaries anymore. Even though the Folsom football roster was loaded with Division I talent, the Clemson-bound Ngata put together one of the most impressive careers I’ve ever witnessed and displayed a rare combination of speed and size. He was simply phenomenal. He could take a reverse on his own 20-yardline and go the distance, or he could “Randy Moss” someone in the end zone on a jump ball. Ngata was special, and you don’t get to watch many like him play.

AS WE SAW IT NorCal media members weigh in on the 2018-19 season. See more responses at SportStarsMag.com WHO IS ONE ATHLETE YOU’RE ALREADY EXCITED TO COVER IN 2019-20?

MITCH STEPHENS (SF Chronicle/MaxPreps): When you mention Foothill-Pleasanton pitcher Nicole May don’t you have to mention catcher Courtney Beaudin? How much more dominant can either be? May is headed to Oklahoma in 2020, and Beaudin appears to be headed to UCLA: the top two college programs in the country. They led the Falcons to the first 28-0 season in NCS history and a No. 2 national rankings by MaxPreps. It’s hard to imagine them getting any better, but I’m sure they will.

MARK TENNIS (Cal-Hi Sports): Jamar Marshall from St. Mary’s-Stockton was an athlete I first saw catching bombs and returning kicks for the Rams in a football game as a sophomore vs. Serra-San Mateo. He didn’t play football in 2018, but was exceptional as a point guard in basketball (I saw him shine in win over Modesto Christian that broke that program’s state-record 194-game league win streak) and then in track he won the 110 high hurdles state title in a time that would have been a state record if not wind-aided. They say his freshman brother, Jadyn, will be just as remarkable or maybe even better.

IKE DODSON (SportStars): College Park-Pleasant Hill girls wrestler Amit Elor. The freshman was our NorCal Girls Most Valuable Wrestler as a freshman after pinning five girls in under a minute at state. I never had a chance to speak to her, but as women’s wrestling appears headed toward an NCAA championship event, Elor seems destined for its podium.

STEVEN WILSON (SportStars): This one’s easy: Marcus Bagley of Sheldon-Sacramento basketball. An impressive junior campaign that culminated in the NorCal championship and a trip to the CIF State title game was just the beginning. I think Marcus will expand on his potential and come back stronger as a senior. I also believe he finished out the 2018-19 year a little banged up. He missed some time in the playoffs which may have hurt his rhythm heading into the last game of the season. Regardless, he has the chance to showcase what he can do in Sacramento one more time. I can’t wait to see him light it up next year.

COPA SOCCER TRAINING CENTER PRESENTS: YEARBOOK SPECIAL EDITION AS WE SAW IT NorCal media members weigh in on the 2018-19 season. See more responses at SportStarsMag.com WHAT WAS ONE COACHING EFFORT THAT STOOD OUT TO YOU THIS YEAR? MARK TENNIS (Cal-Hi Sports): David Jeans of De La Salle baseball guided the Spartans to a fourth straight NCS Div. I title and a 29-1 record (including 28 straight wins to end the season).

With a nice mix of seniors and younger players seemingly every year, DLS baseball is exhibiting some of the traits you see every season with DLS football. It’s funny that he doesn’t get into any of the team photos after these championships (“it’s all about the kids”) but we get shots of him regardless. He deserves some attention among other coaches for the program he’s building.

IKE DODSON (SportStars): Oakdale softball coach Larry Loger and the Mustangs enjoyed one of the most prolific seasons of any program this school year. Considering their schedule, capping a 29-1-1 campaign with a section title was a remarkable punctuation on an already stellar season. It doesn’t get much better.

HAROLD ABEND (Cal-Hi Sports/Prep2Prep): Ryan Partridge of Liberty-Brentwood football. Yes, he had the top quarterback in Northern California, but his team lost its top tackler, Nick Einess in the third quarter of the regional championship. He also faced problems created by NorCal’s wildfires as he navigated the Lions through the playoffs that included three straight weeks without a game. After a regional win on the road over Valley Christian-San Jose, he led the team to Southern California where his coaching had a lot to do with Liberty’s exciting 19-17 come-from-behind victory at Cerritos College over Sierra Canyon.

MITCH STEPHENS (SF Chronicle/MaxPreps): Phil Ferrigno of Lincoln-SF football hits all the right buttons. He’s built a superior program from the ground up, having just won Lincoln’s seventh SFS title in his 17th year. He preaches old-school values: Loyalty, hard work, weight lifting and track and field to get faster. He, like many of the prep coaches we cover, wears many hats and act as second parents. He does it all wearing his heart out on his sleeve. He’s totally transparent. Refreshingly so.
