Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:46:45 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO – Mikatoa Scanlan was exhausted, spending the time in between plays huffing air with hands on hips. But with Archbishop Riordan needing a stop, the beefy 280-pound defensive tackle jumped in front of and intercepted a screen pass to end Archbishop Mitty’s potential game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter. Riordan’s offense scored the insurance touchdown two plays later to clinch the West Catholic Athletic League victory.In a game where Archbishop Riordan and Archbishop Mitty spent 48 minutes making play after play after play, trading touchdowns on Riordan’s senior day, it was only fitting that a Crusader senior was the one who clinched the San Francisco school’s 56-42 win. “Even though we gave up a lot of points in the first half, we still fought to the end of the game,” Scanlan said. Riordan’s Mikatoa Scanlan #55 catches his breath after intercepting a Mitty pass late in the 4th quarter helping preserve a 56-42 victory, Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in San Franci...

What did Newsom sign — and veto — this legislative season?

And community colleges will be required to provide in-state tuition for some in Mexico, including low-income students that live less than 45 miles from California’s border.Those were among 100 new measures Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Friday, working through the last of a stack of 1,046 bills sent to his desk from the legislature dominated by his fellow Democrats.In his final day of bill signings Friday — the deadline was midnight Saturday — Newsom vetoed just two bills, for a total of 890 signed and 156 vetoed in 2023. That’s a slight uptick in rejecting proposed legislation that reflects both his concerns about the state’s finances in an uncertain economy, as well as his national political ambitions.“Newsom has been put in a position of serving as the leg...
