MVAL/WACC FOOTHILL DIVISION(Predicted order of finish)No. 1 JAMES LOGANCoach: Eddie SmithRecord in 2022: 7-4What to expect: The runner-up to Tennyson in the MVAL/WACC Foothill last season, Logan is the pick to finish on top this fall. The Colts have experience in the proverbial “athlete” role as Robert Mendez and Tu’unahala Leao are three-year starters. Both are seniors. Coach Eddie Smith called Leao the “heart and soul of the squad.” Jonathan Craft is the team’s new QB after transferring from Valley Christian. Smith said Craft, a junior, is dynamic and a leader.

MVAL/WACC MISSION DIVISION(Predicted order of finish)No. 1 BERKELEY Coach: David Perry2022 record: 7-4What to expect: All-BANG wide receiver Jackson Harris may have graduated, but coach David Perry can still count on production from elite players on both sides of the ball. Senior quarterback Drew Henderson passed for 38 touchdowns and is the best QB in the league. Three-star athlete B.J Thurman will be “the next great wide receiver to come out of Berkeley” while also rushing the passer on defense, Perry said. The coach believes halfback Jalen Harris has college-level athleticism as both a DB and running back, and linemen Eli Cohen-Moulton and Terrance Phillips will set the tone in the trenches. Junior linebacker Lucas Cord was called a “tempo setter” and a model of consistency on defense. Season opener: Aug. 25 at Miramonte, 7 p.m.No. 2 HAYWARDCoach: Virgil Hart2022 record: 5-5What to expect: Four-year starter Kennedy Braziel is the definition of a tough dual-threat, passing for mor...

Inman: Sam Darnold’s ‘great’ debut, plus 10 observations from 49ers’ flop

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:20:39 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Did Sam Darnold come out looking best from the 49ers’ rather unsightly debut to the NFL’s preseason?“I thought he did a great job,” coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday’s 34-7 defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders. “… We want to be careful with Sam (playing among backups), but we also want him to play, too. Hopefully, Sam will get a little more time next week.”Thus, the expectation is that Darnold starts Saturday’s preseason game at Levi’s Stadium against the Denver Broncos.What about the other options? Expect Brock Purdy to idle until starting the regular-season opener. Trey Lance figures to rotate back into the No. 2 role Saturday. And Brandon Allen hopes to rejoin the team Thursday, after racing postgame to Florida, where his wife, Sarah, is expected to give birth today to their second son.Darnold did not necessarily wow in his 49ers debut. He also did not turn the ball over or panic in the pocket. He looked...
