Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:50:34 GMT

SAN MATEO — Serra left no doubt.There was no need for a dramatic comeback, no need to sweat out the final minutes of another Northern California heavyweight matchup against De La Salle.Serra had two defining moments in what became a 28-0 victory on Saturday over the storied opponent from Concord: A 99-yard touchdown drive in the final minutes of the opening half that broke a scoreless tie and a relentless defense that kept pounding and pounding until it became the first team since Clovis West in 2005 to shut out De La Salle.It was DLS’s worst shutout loss since Salesian beat the Spartans 32-0 in 1979.When Saturday’s game ended, Serra had completed a sweep of its closest pursuers in NorCal’s hierarchy, De La Salle and Folsom, for the second year in a row.But unlike a week ago, when the Padres started fast but didn’t play a complete game against Folsom, the San Mateo powerhouse felt much better about its performance Saturday.“Of course, the signatur...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:50:34 GMT

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Carson Beck overcame a sluggish first half to throw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Mekhi Mews and No. 1 Georgia, the two-time defending national champion, leaned on its defense to overwhelm Tennessee-Martin 48-7 on Saturday night.Georgia (1-0) showed it must make progress on offense if it can realize its dream of becoming the first team to win three straight national championships in The Associated Press poll era. The Bulldogs were outgained in the opening quarter and led only 17-0 at halftime against the Football Championship Subdivision Skyhawks (0-1).Beck, placed in the difficult position of following Stetson Bennett’s back-to-back championship seasons at quarterback, gained momentum in the second half. He threw a short completion to his left to Mews, who cut back to the middle of the field, dodged a would-be tackler and used his speed for his first career scoring catch.It was the longest career completion for Beck, a junior who beat out Brock Vandagriff for...
