The Sac-Joaquin Section high school football playoffs kick off Friday night, and three Merced County teams are looking to go on a run and claim a blue banner. Here’s a look at the quarterfinal matchups (all games scheduled for 6 p.m. kickoff): Division 3: Merced at Vanden After going 2-2 during nonleague play, the Bears have been on a roll. Merced, which won six straight games to claim the Central California Conference championship, now heads to Fairfield for a Division 3 quarterfinal matchup. Merced features a powerful running attack, with seniors Anthony Tacheira (530 yards, 12 touchdowns) and Dougie Andrews (774 yards, 8 TDs) running behind a solid offensive line. Vanden is 9-1 and won the Monticello Empire League with a 6-0 record. The two teams met in the Division 3 quarterfinals in 2025, with the Vikings edging the Bears 26-25 in Merced. Division 5: Casa Roble at Hilmar Top-seeded Hilmar takes its perfect record (10-0) into a first-round matchup against eighth-seeded Casa Roble of Orangevale. The Yellowjackets, having won the Trans-Valley League title at 6-0, are the clear favorites to take home the Division 5 title. The Hilmar offense has been unstoppable this season.

Professors urge CSU system to use AI for admin work instead of instruction

Professors at the California State University are urging the 22-campus system to exercise caution in its enthusiastic adoption of artificial intelligence for use in the classroom. Ahead of the November meeting of the CSU Board of Trustees, the academic senate has passed a resolution asking CSU leadership to focus its AI efforts on simplifying administrative tasks for faculty instead of encouraging its use for teaching and learning. The 53-member senate serves as the official voice of the system’s 28,000 faculty members across the state. “Because Generative AI tools easily generate long-form responses to questions, faculty are struggling to carry out meaningful assessment,” says the resolution, which was approved Nov. 5 . “Rushing ahead without being able to measure whether students are learning may harm students, society, and the economy more broadly. Until we are confident that we have solved the assessment problem, indiscriminate deployment of GenAI in the classroom may do more harm than good.” Amid a nationwide debate on the use of AI in higher education , the CSU prides itself on being what it calls the “nation’s first and largest AI-empowered university system.” Jumping on the AI train in early 2025, it partnered with tech companies such as
