After establishing himself as one of the best pitchers in the Central Coast Section this past season, Diego Fisher was rewarded with an offer from UC Davis that he couldn’t turn down. Fisher, an incoming San Benito High senior, received an offer from the Aggies after taking an unofficial visit to the school on July 15.

The San Benito High football team participated in the second annual USA Football/Max Preps Media Day presented by the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on July 13. In all, 33 teams from Northern California and as far away as central Oregon took the stage in a press conference setting to answer questions from a dozen media members.

The Hollister American 11-and-under All-Star team saw its fine season come to an end on Tuesday in a loss to Los Altos in the championship round of the Section 5 Tournament at Berryessa Little League Field in San Jose.

Matt Lewis was the manager of the Hollister National 9-and-under All-Star team that won the District 9 championship last year. Because of the team’s makeup, Lewis wondered what the squad could’ve done had there been another round of play (the 9s age division ends with the district tournament).

David Kaplansky was on a recruiting trip when he walked into the Humboldt State University gymnasium in the summer of 1996. The only person there was a man dripping with sweat wearing board shorts and beat-up sneakers. Of course, it was Gene Cotter.

To say the Hollister American 12-and-under All-Star team ran roughshod in the recently completed District 9 tournament would be a vast understatement. Hollister’s 11-1 win over Atlantic of Salinas in the championship game last Sunday capped a scintillating run in which it outscored eight opponents by a combined margin of 109-17.

When the San Benito High boys cross country team made the CIF State Championships two years ago, coaches Ryan Shorey and Leanna Morgan had a feeling the girls team wouldn’t be that far behind. Their intuition proved to be spot on.
