Clayton Valley just couldn’t stop shooting themselves in the foot Friday night as they met Monte Vista in the NCS Div. II football championship. Three possessions to start the game ended in turnovers, and MV turned them all into TDs.

Pretty much spelled defeat, 24-10.

The world (not just #Oakland) lost a very good person today, to stupid, pointless #GunViolence.

Coach John Beam mentored hundreds of young men (and women) and made this city a better one.

My condolences and prayers go out to his family.
