St. Ignatius and Sacred Heart Cathedral were not only tied heading into the sixth inning, but faced a nearly identical situation in each half of the frame.

Brenden Glapion, Johnny Mrlik and Noah Springwater really have a lot in common.
All three are left-handed guards, stone-cold scorers, senior leaders and candidates for city Player of the Year.
While Glapion averaged 23 points per game to lead Washington to its first Academic Athletic Association title in 29 years, and Springwater wrapped up a four-year varsity career as University’s top scorer in school history en route to three consecutive Bay Counties League West titles, no player carried his team quite like Mrlik.

Just looking at the benches, it is clear the Balboa High School and Urban School boys’ volleyball programs are at different stages of development.
The Buccaneers, just a year removed from their first Academic Athletic Association championship in 2009, had a packed bench of 10 players, while Urban, in just its third year of varsity competition, featured two.
Still, the Blues didn’t go down without a fight, but the Bucs’ depth and experience proved too much to overcome in a 25-17, 25-15, 25-18 nonleague win Wednesday at Balboa High School.

After dominating play for the first 78 minutes, all it took was one slip-up to make University’s 2-1 nonleague win over College Prep of Oakland at Crocker Amazon Soccer Fields a little too close for comfort.
The Red Devils (3-1-1) were up 2-0 and in total control when College Prep’s Nour Fawz scored on the Cougars’ only shot on target in the game in the 79th minute.

The second-inning hit from Stuart Hall junior outfielder Alex Asadorian looked normal enough, as the line drive past Sacred Heart Cathedral first baseman Patrick Murphy fell into right field.
