Baseball: Washington uses 7-run third to secure second straight AAA title over Balboa
By Jeremy Balan
You likely won’t find Washington High School head baseball coach Rob Fung in a more emotional state than where he was on Saturday, standing in the middle of the infield at AT&T Park.
Despite a largely anticlimactic finish to the Eagles’ 10-0 mercy-rule win over Balboa to clinch their second straight Academic Athletic Association championship, Fung stood on the infield grass watching his team run around the outfield with the championship trophy, silently taking it all in

Baseball: Balboa takes out Lowell again in AAA semifinals behind Arnold’s shutout
By Jeremy Balan On a scorecard, Balboa High School senior Alex Arnold’s groundout to second base in the second inning of the Academic Athletic Association baseball semifinals looks routine, but it’s the kind of groundout that makes coaches gush. It was also the difference in Balboa’s 1-0 upset win over Lowell on Thursday at Big [...]

The Washington High School girls soccer team is back in a familiar place.
After missing the playoffs last season, the Eagles fought through a tough Mission defense to win 3-0 in the Academic Athletic Association semifinals on Tuesday at Boxer Stadium.

Baseball: Marshall stuns Galileo to claim first playoff win in school history
By Jeremy Balan
Marshall High School head baseball coach Gerald Rankin has said it for years.
All he wants for his players is the respect of the rest of the Academic Athletic Association, but the Phoenix had to earn it.
With a 3-2 win over Galileo on Tuesday at Moscone Recreation Center, Marshall became the first team from the B Division to defeat an A Division squad in postseason play since the AAA employed a tiered-division format in 2008.
