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...

Now those governments are wrestling with the fallout from exceptionally high inflation, including the increasing costs of services, materials, and labor.Cities and towns throughout the United States vary drastically in terms of how well they are managed and operated on a daily and yearly basis. Cities that work efficiently and effectively usually have stronger economies, lower crime rates, and higher median annual incomes.Some of the best-run American cities, such as Fargo, North Dakota; Huntington Beach, California; and Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky, offer opportunities for economic growth and education, which in turn increases the quality of services and quality of life for their residents.
