Scotts Valley High utility player Quinn Turowski has been “Mr. Clutch” for the Falcons football team since the season officially kicked off in August. So, it was no surprise he was all over the field yet again for No. 6 Scott Valley in a 33-21...

Scotts Valley High boys basketball coach Gabe Gonzales has been on the same boat with just about every winter sports coach by trying to keep players healthy from both injuries and illness. The Falcons took a big hit on the depth chart two weeks ago...

Never say never. That has been the mantra in 2024 for the San Lorenzo Valley High boys’ golf team, which was on the verge Tuesday of capturing the program’s first-ever Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League championship. The Cougars got the job done following a 179-199 win...

Levi Stadium started the tradition of Friday Night Lights high school football games at the 49-ers home-field last year, with the double-header at the end of August, 2014.It grew up to be a triple-header this year, with six local schools participating in the Sept 18 event.The middle, 6 p.m. game, will square-off Scotts Valley High School vs. Watsonville High School. The last time these two played was in 2005, when both schools were still in the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League, and the Falcons won, 21-0. WHS was realigned in 2006, and play now in the Monterey Bay League.Except perhaps in Texas, it's hard to fill an over 60,000 seat stadium for a high-school football game. The fact that it's a triple-header might help a bit, but reportedly each team guaranteed the Levi Stadium organization to sell at least 500 tickets or 1,000 total tickets. However, WHS has 3,000 tickets for adults and 2,000 for students according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel, while SVHS has 1,000 student tickets and 500 adult tickets. If WHS sells 5,000 tickets and SVHS sells only 1,500 tickets then the two teams would have moved 6,500 tickets. That would leave 53,500 seats for other people.In interviews with the Watsonville-Pajaronian newspaper, WHS players spoke about their entire extended families coming, including some flying in from the east coast. Scotts Valley's community has such capability, too.The tickets for the game went on sale Wednesday, August 19, at three locations in Scotts Valley and at least one in Watsonville:Rita’s Italian Ice in Scotts Valley, located at 222 Mount Hermon Road in the Nob Hill shopping centerSVHS main officeSVHS students storeCarmona’s BBQ Deli at 1040 East Lake Avenue in the East Lake Village Shopping Center in WatsonvilleThe adult tickets are $20, students $5, but the best deal is a trip on a rooter-bus. It's for students only, and for $20 includes a round-trip on one of two buses going to Santa Clara, a ticket to the game and a souvenir t-shirt [see image of t-shirt logo above]. A ticket for one of the High School games is good for the entire triple-header. Parking won’t be free, but as of press time, the 49-ers office could not quote a price except to say “it’ll be less than an NFL game parking fee.”

Chris Anderson never envisioned watching the Central Coast Section Cross Country Championships from the sideline or missing the 2018 CIF State Meet. After all, the senior co-captain of San Lorenzo Valley’s Cross Country team was considered a favorite to reach the podium at both events this year. Likewise, Rishi Chandiramani, also a senior co-captain and inspirational leader of the Scotts Valley’s Boys team never imagined that he’d be watching his peers compete at CCS while he could only watch via FaceTime.
