Historic Seeds Set for Local Teams
The latest batch of North Coast Section champions have earned their spots in the California Interscholastic Federation’s Northern California playoffs, marking a milestone for both programs.
Sonoma Valley baseball, the Division 5 champion, arrives as the No. 8 seed and will test its mettle against the top‑seeded Half Moon Bay squad. Across the diamond, Justin‑Siena softball, the Division 6 winner, enters as the No. 7 seed and is slated to meet the No. 2 ranked Le Grand team.
Both squads are making their inaugural appearances in the NorCal postseason, a feat that has galvanized their schools and surrounding communities. The matchups represent a blend of underdog spirit and seasoned competition, promising tightly contested games.
The opening round is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, kicking off a series of contests that will determine which teams advance to the next stage of the Northern California bracket. Fans and alumni alike are expected to turn out in force to support the local representatives.
