For the past few weeks the American Canyon High School football team was without its star quarterback Mason Harris, who suffered a concussion in the team’s regular season finale. He returned in the North Coast Section Division IV semifinal and his head seemed just right on Friday night. His legs looked even better. Harris — often playing as a running back — danced in the rain like Gene Kelly, rushing for 204 yards and four touchdowns in the Wolves’ 45-12 win over Granada at Wolf Den Stadium. Harris also threw for 65 yards and a touchdown. “Look, we played Casa Grande a month ago in the rain and they beat us. In this rain. We played absolutely horrible,” American Canyon head coach Trevor Hudson said. “All week we didn’t ask for the rain to go away, we wanted more and more. We embraced the rain. We practiced in the rain and we didn’t cut anything short and we dumped balls in water so when we came out for this game we would be prepared. “We showed up and we showed out. But we’re not done. This was just the next step.” The foul and rainy weather didn’t deter Harris, who looked like his old self. “He looks pretty good now,” Hudson said with a huge grin. “He played a hell of a game. He did a fantastic job but most of the team looked good. They came together. They didn’t worry about how big they (Granada) looked on film. We didn’t care about how many games they won or the league they played in. We played through all of that. Now, saying all of that, Granada is a great football team.Their coaches had the team prepared, but tonight they got beat by Wolves.” “I was ready to go before the game even started,” Harris said. “I couldn’t worry about getting hit. I just had to stick to playing how I usually do.” Harris said that running for yards as a tailback instead of a quarterback wasn’t a problem. “Not as much, no, because I’ve been running all year,” Harris said. “It’s become second nature. Just run straight and it always works for the best.” With the win, the Wolves equaled the deepest postseason run in program history — the section final. With Redwood High upsetting top-seeded Ukiah on Friday night, the Wolves’ travel plans are less significant. Instead of a four-hour trip, American Canyon will play Saturday, Nov. 30 at Napa’s Memorial Coliseum with a 7 p.m. scheduled kickoff. In order to get to Napa, the Wolves had to brave the storm on Friday night. With 9:27 left in the first quarter Harris showed he was running on all cylinders with a 44-yard dash down the right sideline for a touchdown to make it 7-0. Five minutes later Harris showed off his arm with a six-yard touchdown pass to Miles Baylor that made it 14-0. Granada answered with a touchdown at the start of the second quarter to bridge the gap to 14-6, but that’s as close as it would get. American Canyon scored on a 32-yard run by Harris to make it 21-6 with 8:19 left in the first half and then added to its lead as time expired in the second quarter on a 28-yard field goal by Edoardo Pelagatti. The Wolves recovered a fumble on the second play of the third quarter and two plays later took advantage of the turnover with Harris’ third touchdown run of the contest, this one a 36-yard romp to make it 31-6. With 7:48 left in the third Harris duplicated his success with another 36-yard touchdown run to make it 38-6. Harris let someone else have some scoring fun in the fourth when Khairee Baker scored on a 56-yard run to make it 45-6. The score gave the Wolves a running clock and eventual 45-12 win. Granada scored its final touchdown as time expired in the fourth. Things got testy in the fourth with a few unsportsmanlike penalties, prompting Hudson to tell his team to not get baited into further penalties that could jeopardize playing time in the championship. Hudson said he’s happy the team won’t be traveling far for the title game, but knows the Wolves are in for a tough battle. “Look, you don’t always get a chance for revenge against a team you got beat by earlier in the year,” Hudson said. “They beat our tail last time and they’re not just going to lay down. We need to be ready. They just won in a mud bowl so they’re going to be even better in phenomenal conditions. They’re going to be ready to go, so we need to be ready to go.”

Labor is more focused on the culture wars than our economic wellbeing8. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio) - The Serbian midfielder has been a consistent performer for Lazio in Serie A. With his contract expiring next year, several top clubs are said to be monitoring his situation closely.Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items. Turkey Day may be over, but rejoice in the leftovers, because you’ve got much to be thankful for, Baylor fans. What a difference a year makes? Nah, squash that. What a difference eight weeks make. Three thoughts from Baylor’s 45-17 win over Kansas Saturday afternoon at McLane Stadium. Look, when Lazarus came back from the dead, I’m sure it was rather mind-blowing that day, but it didn’t stop being impressive two months later. If ol’ Lazzy had been out there turning cartwheels and performing high-kicks 60 days after wearing embalming fluid as a cologne, you’d probably find yourself slack-jawed a lot of the time as an observer. That’s where we are with these plucky Bears. Dave Aranda’s team completed its resurrection from 2-4 to 8-4 with a thorough 45-17 dismantling of previously percolating Kansas in the regular-season capper on Saturday at McLane Stadium. It was as awe-inspiring on the last day of November as it was on the third Saturday in October, when the rehabilitation launched. These Bears should be the national spokesmen for resilience. They’ve had the most underrated turnaround in college football, transforming themselves from left-for-dead to alive-and- kicking-the-tails-of-everyone-in-their-way. Look, I was one of the guys kicking dirt onto their graves. I’ll own that turd in the punch bowl. Following Baylor’s home loss to BYU on Sept. 28 that dropped the Bears to 2-3 (with a loss the next week to Iowa State still to come), I wrote that the Aranda Era was “going nowhere” and that while there were still seven games remaining in the season, “that’s shaping up to be a death march now.” Yeah, I was wrong. Big-time. Death March? More like a Resurrection Strut. “Everybody knew we had a good team. I know we can point to the 2-4 (start), it’s easy to do,” Aranda said. “But I think everybody felt like we’re being buried, but we’re still alive. It’s hard to breathe when they’re putting dirt on you, you know what I mean? And, so, to get some oxygen and to breathe a little bit, I think you look at (defensive back) Devyn Bobby as a great example of that. Devyn has an opportunity to make picks and he drops them, and now all of the sudden he’s grabbing picks out of the air, all over the place. That’s just the power of belief and the power of being positive. It’s cool to see.” Bobby is certainly one of the poster boys for Baylor’s resurgence, though far from the only one. The secondary as a unit has been eviscerated at times, and absorbed probably the cruelest twist of the knife when they surrendered a Hail Mary touchdown to Colorado at the end of regulation of that overtime loss in Boulder. But now these dudes are making game-changing plays when it matters most. Bobby snared two interceptions on the day, highlighted by an absolute beauty in the end zone to snuff out a potential KU scoring drive. Those takeaways give the Baylor defense 13 picks on the season, including six in the last three games. That’s a marked improvement over last year, when the Bears made seven total interceptions and none over their final three games. “I think it’s just a will,” Baylor linebacker Kyler Jordan said. “It’s our end zone, and they’re not getting in. We made a few mistakes to let them get down there, and it’s like, are we going to finish it like we finished the season or are we just going to let them score? So, yeah, just a will.” Baylor Football: Highlights vs. Kansas | November 30, 2024 // via BaylorAthletics on YouTube Another leading character in the “Baylor Comeback Story” — coming soon to a YouTube video near you — is none other than Sawyer Robertson. You know, the guy who didn’t even start out the season as the starting quarterback. Robertson’s resilience has been writ large over the season. His consistency has been the offense’s stabilizing influence. Sure, he had a ragged game last week against Houston. But he still led the Bears to the win that day. And he was brilliant in this one against Kansas, throwing on-target darts like Ted Lasso in an English pub. Robertson completed his first 10 tosses of the game on his way to a 310-yard, four-TD performance. “I don’t really know. It’s a good question,” said Robertson, when asked if he could have imagined this at the start of the season. “I think God’s bigger than the situations and circumstances we find ourselves in. The 2-4 start, whether I was the starter or the backup, he’s bigger than all of that. “I couldn’t be happier to be where I’m at now with the teammates that I’m with, with the coaches that I’m with, it’s just such a cool moment and I’m going to enjoy it, just because it’s not (promised).” And then there’s Aranda. If anyone deserves to smile and enjoy himself, it’s Deadpan Dave. Granted, he’s not going to, because, again, he’s Deadpan Dave. He smiled twice during a 14-minute postgame press conference, and as usual it came when he tickled himself with one of his own analogies. At one point, in probably his most intense oratory of the presser, he talked about being “effin’ pissed off” about some of the yardage the Bears gave up defensively to the Jayhawks, who, remember, were playing for their postseason lives, needing a win to reach bowl eligibility. (Kansas had also beaten three straight ranked opponents coming into this one.) Baylor Football: Postgame vs. Kansas (Aranda, Ma'ae, Jordan, Robertson, Washington) | Nov. 30, 2024 // via BaylorAthletics on YouTube I’m not trying to suggest Aranda isn’t proud of his team or satisfied with their effort and their grit. Far from it. He talks about that all the time. I’m not even suggesting that he’s unhappy. He’s just not one that’s going to do a lot of joke-cracking or cheesy smiles in an interview setting. That’s not his personality, and that’s perfectly OK. But Aranda turned out to be the perfect coach at the perfect time for Baylor. Heck, I’ll take it a step further and pass along this message to Mack Rhoades: If you want to give Dave another contract extension, it makes a heck of a lot of sense now. (Not that Mack needs to take any advice from me, he’s doing just fine on his own.) “The growth has been exhausting,” said Aranda, when asked about his journey as a head coach this season. “But I think it’s important, because I think the game is changing.” Baylor put up more than 600 yards of offense and beat Kansas on Saturday to finish the season on a six-game winning streak. Aranda’s peel-the-Band-Aid-back frankness is probably his most refreshing quality, as he’s always quick to point out his mistakes and shortcomings. But he doesn’t flip it around the other way and thump his chest over his successes, which is a testament to his humility. He kept this team on track when it seemed like the season was completely derailed. Want proof? Remember that BYU loss I referenced earlier? The one where I was writing Baylor’s obituary (and a lot of other media and fans were doing the same)? In the midst of all of that, Aranda stayed calm, level-headed. He could see hope where few others could. “I don’t think last year really has too much to do with this year,” Aranda said that day. “I understand the record of last year. I think this is a very different team. And I think this circumstance for this game is very different than last year’s circumstance. I think we do have to play better.” He was right. We were wrong. The nice thing is, he’s not one to gloat. “I’m proud of that team in the locker room there. Just the grit that they showed,” Aranda said, following Saturday’s win over the Jayhawks. “I told them this — to go through the season that we did and to continue to believe and to not let the outside get on the inside, all those things are just really hard. Nowadays it’s multiplied times a hundred, the force of the outside. Just way proud of them.” You should be, Dave. It’s not every day you see somebody rise from the dead.
