San Marin High School Varsity Football Team, with 2 games remaining, is North Coast Section Division 5 rankings #1. The San Marin Junior Varsity Team is 8-0.
Last year the San Marin Varsity Football Team captured the North Coast Section Division 5 Championship. It could happen again.
I went early Friday for the 4:30 game to catch the Junior Varsity home game against Tamalpais. I wanted to witness the Division double history of 15-year-old, 5’5’ female Katie Martin Slot receiver, second string option for head coach Marco Crivello. Martin is also considered a Team leader. The coach said she can catch anything thrown her way. She caught a touchdown the week before and that was also history making as a female for the Marin County Athletic League.
The Junior Varsity Football team score was 48-0. A long-time resident of Novato I am witnessing a glacial shift in County football dominance, northward.
I saw a minimum of 50 plus parent volunteers, students, teachers and the coaches working to create a safe playing field for the students. I showed my ID, my bag searched and an impossible to remove without tools, a wrist band. Five bucks with my senior discount.
