That is especially true of its baseball team, which took the Central Coast Section Division II title a year ago.
The Panthers are back at it and, after winning the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division title this season, have the 11th seed and will take on Saratoga in the CCS Division II playoffs on Thursday.
“I don’t think [that] we should have a nerve factor,” Burlingame coach Shawn Scott said about his team’s experience. “They know what to expect, know it’s not going to be a blowout.”

Experience is invaluable as the Central Coast Section track and field trials approach, but that has not seemed to bother the Aragon boys’ and girls’ teams.
The Aragon boys won the Peninsula Athletic League Dual Meet and saw its girls’ team finish third, two spots behind perennial powerhouse Westmoor.

The Lowell High School girls’ soccer team has been put on probation for four years by the San Francisco Section.
The sanction was originally reported by the Twitter feed of The Lowell, the school’s newspaper, and has been confirmed by Lowell athletic director Rob Ray and S.F. Section commissioner Don Collins.

You likely won’t find Washington High School baseball coach Rob Fung in a more emotional state than where he was on Saturday, standing in the middle of the infield at AT&T Park.
Despite a largely anticlimactic finish to the Eagles’ 10-0 mercy-rule win over Balboa to clinch their second straight San Francisco Section-Academic Athletic Association championship, Fung stood on the infield grass watching his team run around the outfield with the championship trophy, silently taking it all in.

Due to an oversight by the St. Ignatius athletic department, the school’s swim team was forced to forfeit two wins, two of its best swimmers were deemed ineligible for the rest of the season and were not allowed to compete in the West Catholic Athletic League trials and finals this past weekend.
One swimmer from the boys’ team and another from the girls’ team competed in the National Club Swimming Association Junior Nationals in Orlando, Fla. in late March, but that alone was not what caused the infraction.
