• Meet The Bee's All-Metro flag football teams: McClatchy star is Player of the Year (sacbee.com) — Colfax flag football fans will spot several familiar names on The Sacramento Bee’s All-Metro teams, including seniors Kaylee Fore and Sophia Smiley plus honorable mention Gwyn Sinor, with Colfax ranked No. 9 in the final regional Top 20. The story centers on McClatchy’s standout quarterback and coach, but it also shows how Colfax’s successful tackle tradition and rising flag program stack up against bigger Sacramento-area schools.
