Marin Catholic Wildcats: A Legacy of Champions

The Marin Catholic Wildcats have just unveiled their 2025 schedule, and it’s filled with high-stakes matchups that will surely keep fans on the edge of their seats. With an impressive history of 14 North Coast Section (NCS) titles and two state championships in the last four years, the Wildcats are no strangers to success. They have clocked in an incredible performance over the past five seasons, with ten or more wins every year from 2019 to 2023. Oh, and let’s not forget that perfect record of 5-0 during the COVID season in spring 2021!

Last season, Marin Catholic finished strong with an 8-3 record. But as any sportsman knows, history is in the past, and the real challenge lies ahead. The Wildcats face a challenging non-league schedule, which includes the four-time defending NCS Division I champion, Pittsburg, alongside other tough contenders like St. Mary’s-Stockton and their North Bay rival Cardinal Newman, who ended their season last year. The stage is set for a thrilling rematch!

Here’s a sneak peek at the Wildcats’ upcoming fixtures for 2025:

Pittsburg Pirates: Rising to the Challenge

Meanwhile, in Pittsburg, the Pirates are reloading and ready to hit the ground running. After finishing as runners-up in the CIF state D1-A title game last season, they have their eyes set on claiming the coveted state title this year. However, they’ll need to fill some big shoes as several star players have signed letters of intent with Division I programs. This includes safety Jadyn Hudson who’s off to UCLA, alongside key players like defensive end JuJul Walls, running back Jamar Searcy, and others.

The Pirates’ head coach, Charlie Ramirez, is embracing the challenge and has put together a thrilling non-league schedule that will surely sharpen their skills:

  • Aug. 29: vs. Granite Bay
  • Sept. 6: at Bishop Manogue (Reno, NV)
  • Sept. 13: at Archbishop Riordan
  • Sept. 26: vs. Marin Catholic
  • Oct. 3: at Los Gatos
  • Oct. 10: vs. Heritage
  • Oct. 17: at Liberty
  • Oct. 24: vs. Deer Valley
  • Oct. 31: at Freedom
  • Nov. 8: vs. Antioch

With this ambitious approach, both Marin Catholic and Pittsburg hope to further develop their programs while providing exhilarating football for their fans.

Mark your calendars, folks! The countdown to a thrilling 2025 football season is officially underway. With intense rivalries and remarkable talent on both sides, it’s going to be a year to remember!
