TODAY'S TOP STORY

Friday, May 09, 2008

By Dan Tucker - Gazette Publisher

Mariposa head varsity football coach J.C. McNally has stepped down, laying down his clipboard after many years on local football fields. "This was a tough decision, but I don't think it would have been any easier next year," McNally said Monday evening. "I feel really bad about leaving some of these players. I've been preaching dedication for years, and then I step away. But it's just time."

Soccer gals' playoff hopes dashed

The Mariposa County High School varsity girls' soccer team's worst fear was realized Monday afternoon when Denair upended Le Grand in a Southern Athletic League make-up match that left the Lady Grizzlies out of the playoffs.
Denair won that contest, 3-1, to take second place in league play and make Mariposa's Tuesday afternoon SAL victory over Turlock Christian meaningless in the final standings
