Football Preview: Galileo revival will continue in 2010
By Jeremy Balan
Simply put, it was one of the biggest turnarounds in Academic Athletic Association history.
Heading into the 2009 season, Galileo’s football program was in disarray. The Lions had lost 18 consecutive games, including 14 consecutive AAA losses, encompassing two winless seasons. The team had missed postseason play for five consecutive seasons.
Then it all changed.

By Ernest Stone

Football: St. Ignatius-Marin Catholic is opening week’s top matchup
By Jeremy Balan
There is no shortage of story lines in The City’s opening week of football action, but the St. Ignatius-Marin Catholic game on Saturday stands out as the week’s premier matchup.
Visiting St. Ignatius will travel to Kentfield for a rematch of last season’s opener, when the Wildcats edged Marin Catholic 29-28.
Zac Shuller scored the go-ahead touchdown in the game, and Schuller, now a senior and St. Ignatius’ top returning rusher, will be a key to a Wildcats victory. Schuller is also a starter on defense and special teams.
