Gavin Newsom, please change the law of having school start no earlier than 8:30 am
It affects student-athletes…which is close to 50% of all high schoolers.
Practice later, miss more class time for games, do homework later and go to bed later. Please RT!

Will Wentworth left a positive impression upon his classmates, teammates, teachers and coaches. His legacy is one of character, integrity, caring and work ethic.
So many amazing memories of this young man from his time at Granada.
Our Deepest Condolences are with Will’s family during this most Difficult Time!! He was a amazing kid, teammate and student that we will all deeply miss!!

Getting in your tuxes with your boys in the GHS locker room…priceless!!!
Please use Altamont Limo!! Jody Amos (owner)donated it for our Seniors so they could get work done on the field and the dance floor!!
Because of an umpire shortage, JV player, Brendan O’Hara stepped up yesterday and umpired the Frosh double header.
Numerous sources reported “he was as good or better” than the seasoned umpires we have had this season.
#granadapride
AJ Hattaway. Unheralded but so valuable. This dude threw 15 innings without giving up a run!!!!…including the last 7 outs of the NorCal championship! Ultimate team guy!
Riley Winchell, still
#uncommitted
. I cannot fathom this. This dude leads the NCS in bombs and RBIs, is a great catcher, firstbaseman and unbelievable leader
Parker Warner throws a CG shutout against DLS to bring the Matadors to the CIF D1 Championships!!!!
We face St. Marys of Stockton on Saturday. Time TBD
Thx
@westcoastpreps_
This is a coaching staff and team award not an individual recognition. Coach Field, Rankin and Sekany were phenomenal..all good friends. Sekany expertly led the best pitching staff in Norcal!
His team may have been the best in NorCal history.
Congratulations to Granada’s Corrigan Willis, who is the West Coast Preps Bay Area ⚾️ Coach of the Year!
