Terence Loville, Serra football. Loville impacted Saturday’s CCS Division I opener both sides of the ball in Serra’s 42-14 win over Half Moon Bay. On offense, the wide receiver recorded five catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. Just as important as his 24-yard TD reception to tie the game at the start of the third quarter, however, was his 47-yard catch to advance Serra into Half Moon Bay territory for the first time in the game with under four minutes to play in the first half to set up the Padres’ first score. Loville also came up with a third-quarter interception to set up another TD.
Kaiya Brooks, Crystal Springs Uplands girls’ cross-country. The freshman continued her breakout season in a big way Saturday, claiming the CCS Division V championship Saturday at the Crystal Springs Cross-Country Course. Brooks, who logged the fifth best girls’ time throughout all five division races, recorded a time of 18 minutes, 7.6 seconds, finishing with an amazing cushion between she and the rest of the field. Castilleja senior Tevah Gevelber took second place in the race with a time of 18:55.
Michael Heller, Menlo-Atherton boys’ water polo. The Bears pulled off an improbable triple-overtime win 15-14 over Mitty in the CCS Division I championship game, but all the OT dramatics would not have been possible without Heller’s heroics at the end of regulation. With M-A trailing by 1 with 10 seconds to go, Gabe Montoya came up with a steal and passed it over to Heller, who got fouled, then scored the tying goal on the restart to force overtime. Heller finish with six goals to lead M-A to its first CCS title since 2007.
Yvonne Brien Miller, Sequoia girls’ cross-country. Miller finished with the best time of any Peninsula Athletic League girls’ runner in the CCS championships Saturday at the Crystal Springs Cross-Country Course. Competing in the Division I race, Miller took second place with a time of 18:17.7, with only the champion, Los Altos freshman Lauren Soobrian (17:58.2), faring better.
Nathan Iskander, Hillsdale football. The Fighting Knights didn’t get many points, but they didn’t need them, shutting down Santa Cruz 10-0 on opening night in the CCS Division III playoffs. Iskander did his usual damage out of the backfield, rushing for 181 yards, which actually snapped a streak of four straight games in which he gained over 200 rushing yards. Still, the senior has the best total of any running back out of the PAL, now sitting on 1,930 yards on the year.

Megan Norris, Sacred Heart Prep girls’ water polo. The goalkeeper dominated in the cage in the Gators’ CCS Division championship victory, totaling as many saves as her team had goals. Norris racked up 17 saves in the 17-7 win, and also helped out the offense by tabbing two assists and one goal.
