Valley Oak League season tips off

Chill out, it’s not that cold around here
It's not cold. Maybe cool, possibly chilly, not cold. It can't be that cold if the lady at Starbucks asked me if I wanted my green tea hot or cold. To her credit, I was wearing one portion of my Marmot winter jacket, albeit just the lining. If it truly was cold, I'd be rocking the whole thing, complete with a flannel button-up and my water-proof moccasins. Trust me, I love winter gear. I turn ...
Leader of the Pack
Sierra High offensive coordinator Jeff Abrew installed the spread offense in 2007. With a quarterback like Mike Garcia and wide receivers Nigel Malone and Avery White in the arsenal, how could he resist? But when that talented trio graduated, what were the Timberwolves to do?
