By Jeremy Balan
A remarkable year in San Francisco high school sports was marked by lengthy championship droughts coming to an end, epic runs through the playoffs and one historic football game at AT&T Park.
Here are the top 25 moments from City high school sports in 2011.

Saturday is going to be a memorable one for those associated with Galileo Academy of Science and Technology.
The school public located near Fisherman’s Wharf is hosting Berean Christian of Walnut Creek in football at 1 p.m., but that’s just the appetizer to a full day of celebration.
Galileo is celebrating its 90th anniversary by unveiling the Galileo Sports Hall of Fame and the new Hall of Merit.
SanFranPreps.com Male Athlete of the Year: Christian Pulusian
By Bonta Hill
When thinking about the best prep male athlete in San Francisco, names like University’s Noah Springwater, St. Ignatius’s Johnny Mrlik and Washington’s Jeremy Jetton pop up immediately.
While those respective student athletes had excellent seasons for their schools, the impressive senior season of Balboa High School’s Christian Pulusian exceeded them all, as the three-sport star has earned the accolade of SanFranPreps.com Male Athlete of the Year.
Baseball: SanFranPreps.com All-City Team
By Jeremy Balan
In high school baseball, the most valuable players on any given team are those who are as effective on the mound as they are at the plate.
No other player exemplified that combination, at the highest level of play, like Sacred Heart Cathedral’s Chris Miguel. That’s why he’s the SanFranPreps.com Player of the Year.

Baseball: Giants select Jewish Community’s Sosnick in MLB Draft
By Jeremy Balan
Only two players were selected in this year’s Major League Baseball draft with San Francisco high school ties.
The first, former Washington High School and Sonoma State star O’Koyea Dickson, was a lock, but the second came from maybe the most unlikely source — Jewish Community High School of the Bay.
The Giants selected Jewish Community senior Benny Sosnick in the 49th round (1,497th overall) on Wednesday, marking one of the most noteworthy moments in the school’s 10-year history. Sosnick is the first player from Jewish Community ever taken in the draft.
Baseball: Washington grad Dickson selected by Dodgers in MLB Draft
By Bonta Hill
Growing up a Giants fan, former Academic Athletic Association baseball star O’Koyea Dickson’s dream of getting drafted to a Major League Baseball team came true.
Ironically, Dickson was drafted by the team he grew up to hate — the Los Angeles Dodgers.
A graduate of Washington High School in 2008, Dickson was drafted in the 12th round (374th overall) by the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Baseball: International’s run ends in NCS semifinals against Head-Royce
By Jeremy Balan
OAKLAND — For four innings, International starting pitcher Jordan Malik walked the tightrope against a dangerous Head-Royce lineup — one run, four hits and seven stranded baserunnners.
But the danger of walking that right rope is that you can fall off at any time, and all it took was one inning to turn a nerve-wracking tie into a rout.
The Jayhawks rallied for six runs with two outs in the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie, and cruised to a 7-1 win in the North Coast Section Division V semifinals on Wednesday at Head-Royce.

Game of the day – International vs. Head-Royce baseball: As the final baseball team alive in the City, the Jaguars’ next opponent will be second-seeded Head-Royce (16-8). International may be dodging a bullet, as Head-Royce ace Spenser Linney, who has committed to Stanford, pitched against Athenian in the quarterfinals on Monday. The weather may not cooperate, but until further notice, the game is on.

Baseball: International holds off Stuart Hall in NCS quarterfinals
By Bonta Hill
SAN BRUNO — International High School took a 2-1 lead in the third inning over Stuart Hall before play was suspended Saturday afternoon — and it turns out, that was all it needed to advance to the North Coast Section Division V semifinals.
When play resumed Monday afternoon at Skyline College, Jaguars senior Clay Bloszies matched Stuart Hall pitcher Ben Carrasco pitch-for-pitch — striking out seven and allowing only two base runners to reach second base after the third inning — leading International to the one-run win and punching a ticket to Wednesday’s semifinal against second-seeded Head-Royce.
