Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:44:12 GMT

Los Gatos made headlines in 2020 when “Party Mom” Shannon O’Connor was arrested for hosting alcohol-filled parties for her teenage son and his friends.While her trial is ongoing, the town of Los Gatos has made efforts to prevent underage drinking – and its consequences – through a social host ordinance that fines adults for parties at their house where underage youth have access to alcohol, whether the parents are present or not.In the year since it was put into effect, there have been at least three social host violations in Los Gatos.

BLOSSOM VALLEY ATHLETIC LEAGUE SANTA TERESA-VALLEY DIVISION(Predicted order of finish)No. 1 OVERFELTCoach: Carlo Maningo 2022 record: What to expect: There are a lot of good linebackers in the Bay Area, but few, if any, hit as hard as senior San Jose State commit John Stowers, a 240-pound wrecking ball who had 39 tackles for loss last season. Overfelt, which should be the favorite to repeat as league champion, also has plenty of speed. Walter Smith, a 6-3 senior wide receiver, led the team with 697 receiving yards, and will once again form a potent duo with senior QB Gabriel Martinez, who threw 19 touchdowns last season. Regardless of who runs the ball, they’ll do so behind burly offensive linemen such as Antonio Lopez-Escamilla and senior center Andrew Cameron. The last game of the season at Sobrato could determine the league champion. Season Opener: Aug. 24 vs. San Jose, 7:15 p.m.No. 2 SOBRATOCoach: Joel Rueda2022 record: 3-7What to expect: The offense will run through senior Noah...
