Game Notes

It is a homecoming week of sorts in NorCal High School Football. In his first season at Windsor, Paul Cronin has the Jaguars at 7-0 with a tough to defend offense and a defense that is giving up 12 points per game. This week, Windsor will host Cardinal Newman to kick off an action packed three week stretch in the North Bay League - Oak Division.

In the Sac-Joaquin Section, Oak Ridge will travel to Del Oro in the first game back in Loomis for head coach Casey Taylor, who left the program after the 2016 season. This year, Oak Ridge is 3-5 with all losses coming to Top 35 ranked teams. Last week, it beat Grant for its first SFL win. Del Oro is 4-4 with four straight losses following its 4-0 start.
