FREMONT — It wasn’t all that long ago the California High football team would have been happy with a winning season — making the North Coast Section playoffs would have simply been icing on the cake.

Enter Tony Sanchez.

The fifth-year Cal coach doesn’t stand for anything but 100 percent hard work. Win or lose, that’s what he wants.

Now it helps that Cal has become a winning program — especially in the last two years.

Green spent most of his Friday night finding big holes and lowering his shoulder pads as California-San Ramon cruised to a 41-0 opening-round North Coast Section Division I victory over Washington at Fremont’s Tak Fudenna Stadium.

Green, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound senior, finished with 202 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries. He rushed for 132 yards in the first half.

Last year was all about milestones for the California High football team.

It earned its first share of the East Bay Athletic League title, won its first North Coast Section playoff game and made its first appearance in an NCS title game. The accomplishments added up to the best season in school history, and essentially put the program on the map.

If this year has proved anything, it’s that the Grizzlies were not a one-hit wonder. The schedule shows four losses, but none came by more than one score, including seven-point losses to Washington’s No. 1-ranked team (Bellevue) and California’s No. 3-ranked team (De La Salle).
