End of an era

If King City doesn't win its final two regular season girls basketball games, it will miss the playoffs for the first time in 27 years.
No program, not even the Palma football program, has had a longer run.
There are players on the Mustangs current team, whose mothers played on the earlier King City playoff teams.

North County can gather no worse than a share of its first Monterey Bay League girls basketball title in eight years with a win on Thursday over Monterey. This is the same North County team that went through a 2-8 stretch in the preseason.

After winning just two games last year, North Salinas has 18 and counting under first year boys basketball coach Alan Green.

If Palma make another CCS title run later this month, it will look back at a win over North Salinas, in which it came back from a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter to pull it out. Palma hasn't lost since.

Gonzales can't seem to get any respect from the CCS in boys soccer. Seeded No. 16 last season, the Spartans went out and won the boys Division II soccer title.
Despite a 12-1-5 mark this year, the Spartans received the No. 14 seed. Could we see another magical run?
