Center E. Okusi scores in his first game of the season.
Hooker and captain Neil Barrett scored
the initial try.
Sheeran Field, Treasure Island, San Francisco -- For the second time in this young Pacific Rugby Premiership, SFGG made enough mistakes to lose a game. Santa Monica notched their second win by capitalizing on the home team's errors by a score of 16-14. SFGG scored first with a 75 meter dash down the sideline initiated by the backs with good inside support resulting in captain Neil Barrett's score of a try (converted) about 10 minutes into the game. SFGG's solid defensive alignment then stopped Santa Monica's potent offense repeatedly, only to concede egregious errors, allowing Santa Monica's fly half, Max Rodman, to kick three penalties, then score a converted try with a rolling maul (following another SFGG penalty) and take a 13-7 lead at half time. SFGG scored a very patient try (converted) to close the gap, but Santa Monica held on to win the game. Coach Neil Foote was clearly frustrated with his young squad, noting that 20 minutes before kickoff, five players were yet to arrive. One, the reserve Prop, never appeared. The returning veteran players are equally frustrated with their young team mates, who don't seem to understand that losing a winnable game is not acceptable in this premier rugby league.

Sports Prep Star -- Jovon McClanahan
Salesian-Richmond -- Basketball -- Senior
It's been a dominant first two months of the season for nationally-ranked Salesian, and Jovon McClanahan (above) has been right at the center of it. He showed that again on Jan. 26 at Solano College in Fairfield. He accounted for 19 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals to help lead the Pride to a convincing 65-41 victory over Nevada-power Clark-Las Vegas. The win improved Salesian to 24-0 and moved them into the Top 10 of the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 National Rankings. It also keeps the Pride firmly in the driver's seat for the No. 1 seed in the Open Division of the CIF Northern Regional playoffs which begin in late February. McClanahan's twin brother Jaden is also a starter and major contributor to the team's success.
