By Vick A. '27 ***WRITTEN WITH DATA ENDING AFTER THE FIRST WEEK OF THE PLAYOFFS** One of the fundamental axioms of football is that fans will always hate kickers. No matter how well they play, one simple miss will attract a level of criticism and hate that most players won’t experience in their lifetime. As time goes on, kickers have progressively gotten better and better. Now, kickers routinely take 50+ yard field goals, something unheard of even 15 years ago. But even with

By Virginia H '27 Everything You Need to Know About Men’s Volleyball It’s that time of year again, and men’s volleyball is officially back. One game into the year, varsity is already gearing up for what could be another fantastic season. Here’s a closer look at the team as they set their sights on a league championship and a deep run in the postseason. ROSTER: Head Coach: Monica Lyman Assistant Coach: Courtney Vu Wiley Bedsworth ‘26 (#11) Ben Boyd ‘26 (#14) Sean Kelly\ ‘26 (#

By Wells R. ‘27 CPS Men’s Basketball has certainly had an up-and-down season. They started the season off red hot, winning twelve straight, but have since slowed down, going 4-8 in their last twelve. Obviously, the two halves of the season have been completely different, so why is that?  The team’s first half of the season was certainly an amazing run. One highlight of the season was when the Cougars took their first victory over Lick Wilmerding in over five years, winning 37

By Vick A. '27 The cold breeze ripped through Tom Bates Field, but the warmth emanating from the College Prep’s sideline section was undeniable. On a momentous Friday night, under the glow of the lights, the Girls' Varsity Soccer team celebrated their senior night. As the final whistle blew, sealing a decisive and emotional 3-0 victory against Making Waves Academy, three seniors, the critical pillars of this year's squad, walked off the turf for one of the very last times on

By Virginia H. '27 Women’s Varsity Basketball: The Road Back to NCS League play has wrapped up for College Prep Women’s Basketball, but the season isn’t over just yet. Advancing to the North Coast Sectional ( NCS) for the first time in over 10 years, your women’s basketball team has had a very successful season. With a 5-5 record in league play, they’ve triumphed over some tough opponents like Bentley to earn their spot in the playoff tournament. But what has been their key t

By Surina P '27 Note: Written on Saturday, February 7, 2026 On February 4th, 2026, the night before the NBA trade deadline, the Warriors dealt Jonathan Kuminga and team-favorite Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks, receiving 7’2” Kristaps Porziņģis in return. Later that night, they also traded away one of their bigs, Trayce-Jackson-Davis, to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for a future second-round draft pick. The Warriors’ parting with Jonathan Kuminga is no surprise. This mut

By Desmond H '27 With the end of the football season, it’s time for Bay Area sports fans to take a look at the 49ers and ask ourselves: Is this team ever going to win a Super Bowl? This season was a frustrating one for the 49ers. They were wracked by injuries, had an almost entirely new coaching staff, and still managed to make the playoffs, only to be crushed in the second round. All of that has led us to this offseason, and today I am going to describe what the 49ers need t

By Arnav J '27 With the 2026 season starting, the CPS varsity golf team enters the year with high expectations, strong leadership, but one major challenge: availability.  According to senior captain Jonathan Woo, one of the defining twists of this season has already become injuries. Two key players, captain Chris Chang and Rishi Junaid, are both sidelined with wrist injuries sustained outside of golf. Chris notes that this “means our first few matches may be a struggle, even

By Jaeda N. “WAGs,” shorthand for athletes’ “wives and girlfriends,” have grabbed the spotlight in sports ranging from soccer to basketball to Formula One. However, their prominence has been especially significant in football. Whether on social media or magazine covers, the attention given to players’ personal lives seems to almost rival that dedicated to their athletic careers. Viewed with adoration by some, lambasted and mocked by others, these women are undeniably at the f

By Vick A. '27 and Wells R. '27 After quite an eventful college football season, it's playoff season. With that being said, I’m well aware that many fans only pick up the sport come playoff time. So, allow Wells and me to give you a full breakdown of the previous week of games, our bracket reactions, Heisman picks and favorites, and our predictions for the full first round of the playoffs. Championship Week and Playoff Bracket Reactions: Vick: First of all, I know a lot of pe

By Andrew M. '27 Shot by Mike Chan As a cross-country runner, I have often heard other athletes say, “Your sport is our sport’s punishment!” While this may be true, the sport in question, Cross country, just cemented itself as arguably College Prep’s best sport.  Over the last few years, it has been quite clear that the College Prep cross country teams have been pretty strong–or at least increasingly improving. This year, College Prep swept BCL league titles, winning both JV

By Virginia H. '27 If you’ve heard of one team this college volleyball season, chances are it’s the Nebraska Huskers. With an undefeated 20-0 record in the Big Ten Conference and a perfect 30-0 overall record, the Huskers have dominated their regular season and earned themselves the No. 1 overall seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament.  So what has allowed the team to dominate all season long? One of the most impactful changes to Nebraska this year is actually their new coach, Dani

By Jaeda N. '28 (Note: this article was written before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, when the drivers’ champion had yet to be decided.) The 2025 Formula One season has been one for the books! This past season has brought us outstanding performances from rookie drivers, mid-season shake-ups of drivers and team principals, and even a romantic engagement for Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc. However, the biggest headlines have been about the three-way fight for the world drivers’ cham

By Vick A. '27 First, a note:   This past weekend, Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo’s house was egged by angry fans. This is unacceptable behavior — despite any animosity that people may have towards him, it’s just a game. Any real-life attacks against players or coaches like this are both immature and unacceptable. While in this article, I will (viciously) critique the entire coaching staff and players, the act of a physical assault on something so personal as a co

By Wells R. '27 It’s no secret that College Prep isn’t a sports school. People are drawn to College Prep for many reasons: its academics, community, teachers, campus, and so much more. One thing noticeably missing from that list, though, is sports. In fact, people come to College Prep for almost every reason except sports.  Despite the lack of emphasis on athletics, College Prep sports teams are actually pretty competitive. For example, the men's soccer team is currently rank

By Arnav J. '27 Dubbed the Tiger Woods of our school, or ‘Cougar’ Woods, if you will, William Chang has cemented himself as a dominant golfer. After picking up his first club at the age of four, he has been on a 13-year journey of dedication, discipline, and drive. Now a senior and two-time NCS Division II Champion, Will Chang embodies a true athlete's spirit and has solidified his reputation as one of the nation’s top junior golfers. “My parents and grandparents got me into
