Serra, De La Salle win baseball section titles, now pursue CIF NorCal crowns
Two of the Bay Area's most storied baseball programs — Serra and De La Salle-Concord — won section titles Saturday on the rebound. Now each hopes to catapult to their ultimate goal: Northern California titles. The one-week CIF Regional playoffs get underway Tuesday with Division 1 top-seed De La Salle and No. 3 Padres hosting games. Serra (26-6) won their first Central Coast Section championship since 2009 with a 3-2 Division 1 win over Valley Christian at Excite Ballpark Stadium, riding a three-run fourth-inning rally and getting fine outings from winning pitcher Riley Lim back by two innings of scoreless relief by Nate Hui. Evan Bradshaw drove home the go-ahead run with an infield single and also made a key diving catch in the outfield.

Serra boasts such alums as Barry Bonds, Jim Fregosi and James Outman. It now hosts sixth-seed College Park-Pleasant Hill (17-11) in a first-round game Tuesday. All first- and second-round games start at 4 p.m. De La Salle (26-4) won its 15th North Coast Section title and seventh in eight years with an 11-2 win over College Park at St. Mary's College. Stanford-bound shortstop Tyler Spangler continued a mammoth junior season with three hits including a pair of triples. Cal Poly-bound Antonio Castro added two hits and three RBIs. It was De La Salle's 31st NCS playoff win in the last 32 games, the lone setback being a 1-0 loss to Granada-Livermore in last year's title game. That contest took 15 innings and two days to complete. Granada also ended De La Salle's string of four straight Northern California playoff titles as well last season. 'Our whole goal is to get back the dogpile (celebration),' Spangler said after a semifinal win over Foothill-Pleasanton last week. That was secured largely Saturday with six runs in the second inning, with three more tacked on in the sixth. Half of De La Salle's 10 hits went for extra bases and winning pitcher Roman Bartosh allowed four hits in six innings before Mason Cortez pitched one scoreless inning. Softball roundup: Hayden Hummel, Peyton Tsao, Gabby Rocha and Isabella Sandoval drove in two runs apiece as second-seed St. Francis ended top seed Willow Glen-San Jose's undefeated season with a 9-6 CCS Open Division title win that took eight innings. The Lancers (27-3), the third seed, host No. 6 Rocklin (22-6) in a first-round NorCal game Tuesday. … Sophomore Lola Jones struck out seven and allowed six hits and added an RBI single, leading Hillsdale-San Mateo (19-9-1) to a CCS Division 2 title with a 4-1 win over San Mateo. … Liberty-Brentwood (23-4) won its third NCS title and first since 1997 with a 4-0 win over Casa Grande-Petaluma as Kate Skinner fired a two-hitter with 13 strikeouts. … Nicole DiMarco had a triple, homer and five RBIs leading Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa (22-6) to a 12-8 NCS Division 2 title win over Carondelet-Concord. Acalanes baseball ends drought: The Dons of Lafayette (17-10) won their seventh NCS baseball title, but first since 2016 with a 7-1 Division 2 win over Rancho Cotate-Rohnert Park as Brady Quinn and Austin McManamon combined on a four-hitter. James Stadt had three hits and three RBIs and Jimmy Cusumano had a double, single and three RBIs. Acalanes, the sixth seed, travels to Northern Section power Chico (28-1), for a first-round NorCal D2 game. California baseball wins first: The Grizzlies from San Ramon (16-11) won their first NCS championship, with a 6-1 Division 3 title win over Marin Catholic-Kentfield as Ryan Giffins and Ryken Redondo combined on a three-hitter. Grayden Wright and Nolan Jess each drove in a pair of runs for California High, which is the eighth seed in the NorCal Division 3 tournament. The Grizzlies travel to top-seed Roseville (21-11). Track follow: Three Metro athletes were inadvertently left off the CIF State Track and Field medal list Monday, including girls high jump co-champion Lelani Laruelle, a junior from Monta Vista-Cupertino, who cleared 5 feet, 7 inches. Others were Serra shot putter Luke Lewis (third place, 58-6¾) and Woodside 400 boys runner Mattheo LaCasia, who placed fourth in the state at 47.04. … Clara Adams, a CCS athlete from North Salinas, was stripped of her first-place medal after winning the 400 due to her victory celebration, 'extinguishing' her shoes with a fire extinguisher she took from her dad out of the stands. Since Adams, a sophomore, was disqualified for what was deemed an unsportsmanlike act, she was not allowed to run in the 200 finals, which she was a co-favorite to win. Her season bests of 53.23 (400) and 23.71 (200) ranked first and sixth in the state, according to

A ‘long overdue' groundbreaking on Ross Road improvements
DEL VALLE, Texas (KXAN) — For years, we've reported on the growth in Del Valle and the impact that it has had on Ross Road — a key corridor for that community and its students. 'Since I've been out here, I think I've heard about three times long overdue,' said Anna Martin, the Assistant Director for the city of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department. The city broke ground on a road deemed substandard in Del Valle, a project that has been in the works since 2018. Ross Road, between State Highway 71 and Pearce Lane, will get an overhaul. 'With the explosive growth that is happening in our school district, there is a lot of congestion, and so with this major thoroughfare, the expansion is really going to improve the quality of life, and it is going to enhance safety for our community,' said Matthew Gutierrez, the Del Valle ISD superintendent. Ross Road is currently only two lanes, and in some areas doesn't have sidewalks, but once construction is complete that stretch of Ross Road will be four lanes with center medians, shared use paths, upgraded traffic signals, new lighting and upgrades to water drainage. The shared use paths will play a very important role for the staff who work and the students who go to school at Del Valle Elementary, Middle and High School — all of which are located on that portion of Ross Road. 'So you can just imagine the issues that they have during school, drop off and pick up. And there's kids that want other ways to get to school, to safely walk and bike. And this project will ease, will make it easier for drivers, as well as kids walking and biking to school,' Martin said. A heads up for those who utilize Ross Road to get to and from school, construction will take place during the next two school years. 'We will be sending updates as far as the district is concerned keeping our community apprised of what is happening, so that they are aware of any changes that occur, so that they are prepared for morning drop off and afternoon pickup,' Gutierrez said. Funding for this $30 million dollar project comes from the 2020 Mobility Bond, and it will take about two years to complete. In fall 2022 the city made some improvements for safer options for pedestrians while planning for this bigger project was finalized. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
