Mtn Lions Set Roster/ Coulson Not There
The Sacramento Mountain Lions released a copy of their 54-man roster Thursday. Nowhere to be seen is former Elk Grove H.S. and Nevada defensive end Ryan Coulson. He was trying to make the UFL team roster as a long snapper.
Scanning the Mountain Lions' list there's a few Cal alums like guard Justin Cheadle, tight end Anthony Miller and tackle Mike Tepper. Former Sacramento State quarterback Jeff Fleming also made the squad.
The Mountain Lions, coached by Turk Schoenert, open the season tonight at Raley Field against Virginia.
Another former Herd player, Marcus Riley, played a few seasons in the UFL for the Las Vegas affiliate but he's now a graduate assistant at SMU.

Wednesday's Notebook/Scoreboard
Franklin's volleyball team defeated Pioneer in four games Wednesday, 25-15, 13-25, 25-16, 25-23. Brenna Leon had 8 kills, 4 blocks and 3 aces. ...
We're nearing the end of the first academic quarter at the high schools. This is important because the athletes we follow must indicate the ability to be students, too. Unfortunately, this is the time of the year where coaches must also coach in the classroom to keep several players eligible to play the rest of the season. Be watching our football teams for there are some big names that struggle with their grades. ....
Girls' golf Wednesday, Franklin won the Delta Valley Conference event at Bartley-Cavanaugh. Here were the team and individual results:
Team results: Franklin 407, Davis 433, Laguna Creek 527, Elk Grove 591.
Individual results: Fong, F, 70; Kaur, F, 73; Masiel, D, 76; Xiang, D, 82; Hardy, F, 87.
In boys' water polo, Jesuit defeated Laguna Creek, 13-4. In girls' St. Francis beat Laguna Creek, 15-8.
There are several local football teams not playing this week. Elk Grove, Franklin, Pleasant Grove and Sheldon all have byes.
Cosumnes Oaks opens its Sierra Valley League season at Union Mine. The Wolfpack look strong enough to run right through SVL this season, but Liberty Ranch and Vista del Lago both have quality squads.
Laguna Creek will host Jesuit in a non-conference game. The Cardinals need a win to bounce itself into the Delta Valley Conference schedule in a week.
Monterey Trail, who is much better than a lot of us thought before the season, will play at Pioneer High School in Woodland. Bradshaw Christian plays at Rio Vista.
Florin will likely pick up its first Metro Conference win tomorrow night when it hosts Johnson. Valley is at Rosemont.

Wednesday Notebook/Valley Hires B-Ball Coaches
Valley High School’s athletic director Rod Edmiston has hired a new varsity head basketball coach for both the boys’ and the girls’ programs.
The new boys’ coach will be Jerod Hyden, who replaces Mat Bradley, now an assistant basketball coach at Cosumnes River College.
“The kids love him,” Edmiston said of Hyden, who is also a teacher on campus. “He’s a good fit for the school.”
Bradley resigned this summer after four seasons as Valley’s head coach.
The Vikings will open the season Nov. 28 when they host Capital Christian, the defending Sac-Joaquin Section Division V champions.

Inderkum Upsets Pleasant Grove On Pooch Kicks
Hard to believe you beat a team on a pair of pooch kicks, but that's what Inderkum used Friday night to upset the Pleasant Grove Eagles, 42-28. Pleasant Grove started the game with a long drive that died out at the Tigers' 28 on downs. After the teams exchanged punts, Inderkum scored first on Terence White's one-yard plunge.
On the ensueing kick return, the Eagles' Ian Broom fumbled the ball at midfield. Eight plays later White scored again on a two-yard run to make it 14-0, Inderkum.
Tigers' coach Terry Starks then told kicker/quarterback C.J. Spencer to pooch the ball to the right and land around the Eagles' 35. White sprinted downfield and was the first man to the ball so Inderkum kept possession at the Pleasant Grove 30. Five plays later Eric Walters scored on a five-yard run and it was 20-0, Tigers.
Starks called for the same thing again and this time it worked, again. Spencer's pooch kick was recovered by Mark Mathews at the Eagles' 27-yardline. N.J. Falo bulled through the pile on a one-yard plunge five plays later and it was 28-0, Inderkum with a little under seven minutes remaining in the first half.
Four straight Tiger offensive possessions, four touchdowns and Pleasant Grove didn't touch the ball for a little more than eight minutes.
The Tigers led 34-6 at halftime and then held the ball for eight more minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter to slow down an Eagle attempted comeback. Pleasant Grove got to within 34-21 heading into the final quarter, but could stop Inderkum's 15-play, 89-yard drive to open the final period.
Watch and listen to my post-game interview with Pleasant Grove head coach Joe Catollico.
With the loss, the Eagles drop to 2-2 while Inderkum remained undefeated at 3-0.

Wednesday's Notebook
Elk Grove High School alum Lance Briggs thinks this season’s
Chicago Bears is the best squad he’s been a part of in his eight seasons with
the NFL club.
"Adding to the team that we had last year can only make
it better," said Briggs told the NFL Network. "That should only make
it better. We made some great pickups, we got really aggressive, grabbing
Brandon Marshall, bringing in Kelvin Hayden, Wilhite, [return specialist Eric] Weems. It
gives us a chance to make a championship run this year."
Plus, starting quarterback Jay Cutler is healthy this fall.
The seven-time All-Pro linebacker spent much of the
pre-season as the ambassador to New Era’s NFL sideline hats.

Sheldon Parents React To Principal's Decision
Sheldon High School principal Paula Duncan told me Thursday she completed a three-week investigation into parents' claims that varsity baseball coach Mike Hughes was recruiting players from other high schools, thus not giving their sons a chance for playing time.
“I have interviewed many students, I have looked into the allegations, I can tell you there is nothing that sustains any recruiting,” Duncan said Thursday.
The parents in calling for Hughes' to be fired cite in their letter dated Aug. 10 and emailed to the Citizen that day four players by name who played for a tournament team coached by Hughes the past few summers. Two of those players were freshmen on the varsity squad at Sheldon this past spring and had playing time.
CIF rules do not allow athletes to follow a non-school team coach to a high school and compete in sports. The parents say those two players should have been ineligible last season.
EGUSD athletic director Jim Smrekar ruled about three weeks ago that those players transferred to Sheldon legally.
“When (Sheldon athletic director) Denise
(Aguilar) offered to meet with any parent, especially those who were involved
in the parents’ letter, not one parent would come forward, not one,” Duncan
said.

Duncan also said Thursday that she attempted to meet in person with the
parents responsible for writing the letter.
I contacted three parents for their reaction. I was the person that informed them of Duncan's decision. Upset and disappointed are understatements for their reaction.
The parents asked their names not be used in this story
because of the fear their sons would be harassed at school.
Update (9/11) - One father of a parent did want to go on the record. Read his comments in Friday's Elk Grove Citizen. A copy of a letter signed by 21 parents of baseball players demanding Hughes' firing was also delivered to the Citizen's office today. The parent said a copy of the letter was also hand-delivered to Smrekar and to Duncan.
