Here are the top stories in Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch today:

1. Getting the coronavirus vaccine might mean free Padres Tickets! 150 people will get a free pair of tickets to the Sept. 8 game against the Los Angeles Angels along with a commemorative T-shirt. First and second shots will be available on site for those who are interested. (Press Release Desk)
2. Stone Ranch Elementary’s new principal wants to be a role model. After working as a substitute teacher, principal, Larry Hausner felt that teaching was his calling. He saw a need for male role models in schools. Hausner finds Poway USD to be student centered and focused on equity and inclusion — an atmosphere that he is drawn to. As principal, Hausner looks forward to building relationships with Stone Ranch students, the staff, and the 4s Ranch community. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
3. Last spring, Poway High football captured the Palomar League championship. Coronavirus shortened the season to 5 or 6 games with no postseason. Rancho Bernardo, which lost the regular-season finale at Poway, has some returning starters on defense as well as a quarterback, a running back and three offensive linemen. Del Norte has six returning starters on offense and another nine on defense. On Friday Del Norte hosts Escondido, Poway visits Granite Hills, and Rancho Bernardo visits San Marcos. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
4. Poway Titans girls cross country team are the preseason favorite in the Palomar League. Mt. Carmel is thought to be the top boys team in the league. Del Norte Nighthawks are not too far behind. The big question is how will Rancho Bernardo’s team come together after seven runners graduated. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
