    Hello Bears fans! Welcome to MA’s girls home game against PAL and SUHSD rival Sequoia HS!
    @ 4:26 PM

  3. Commentary

    Tonight’s opponent, Sequoia, has started well this year, 8-5 overall and 2-0 in the PAL, after last year’s 11-14/4-8 finish
    @ 4:28 PM

  4. Commentary

    They’ve won 4 straight and 5 of their last 6
    @ 4:30 PM

  5. Commentary

    For common opponents this year, they lost to Sacred Heart by 17 while MA won by 17; & beat Mountain View by 3, while the Bears did by 20
    @ 4:33 PM

  6. Commentary

    Meanwhile, these 2 schools are very familiar with each other. They’ve met 30 times since MaxPreps records began in 2004-05
    @ 4:33 PM

  7. Commentary

    The Bears hold a 21-9 edge, but after winning 18 in a row against the Ravens at one point, have now lost 6 of the last 9
    @ 4:34 PM

  8. Commentary

    Last year, MA won 42-33, but also lost a nail biter 39-41
    @ 4:35 PM

  9. Commentary

    In that win, Steinmetz led MA with 19, and Sheldon added 14
    @ 4:44 PM

  10. Commentary

    But now, to this year: MA has had a hot start! 12-2 overall! That’s their best since the spectacular 2016-17 team’s 26-1 beginning!
    @ 5:19 PM

  11. Commentary

    That places them #7 of the 86 CCS teams; 28th of 187 in the Bay Area (top 15%); & 129th out of 1,137 high schools in California, or top 11%!
    @ 5:21 PM

  12. Commentary

    Though the Bears split their first 4 games, they’re now on a 10-game win streak!
    @ 5:21 PM

  13. Commentary

    In the PAL, their 2-0 record tied them for 1st so far with Aragon, Mills…and, you guessed it, Sequoia
    @ 5:23 PM

  14. Commentary

    So their matching 2-0 league records, as well as Sequoia’s having won 5 of their last 6, plus 6 of the last 9 vs MA, makes this intriguing
    @ 5:24 PM

  15. Commentary

    In the PAL overall, MA is #1, with that 12-2 mark. Next is Hillsdale at 11-3, then Mills 10-4, Carlmont 9-4, & Sequoia’s 8-5
    @ 5:25 PM

  16. Commentary

    In their last game, MA beat Eastside Prep, 63-17, up 52-7 after 3 quarters, ECP only having 6 players in uniform
    @ 5:27 PM

  17. Commentary

    The Bears were led by Gray & Sheldon with 11 each, and Djafari’s 9; 11 players scoring overall
    @ 5:28 PM

  18. Commentary

    So join us in a bit for this home game, or better yet, come on over to MA and watch in person, cheering on the Bears!
    @ 5:29 PM

  19. Commentary

    Also a quick shoutout to the boys, 9-3 this year & leading #14-in-the-state San Ramon Vly into the 4th quarter before losing: strong start!
