St. Francis football coach Greg Calcagno never planned to follow in his father’s large and deep footsteps. After quarterbacking St. Francis to its first undefeated season (13-0) in 1982 and a college football career at Santa Clara, Greg entered the business world for 20 years before returning to his high school, where his three children attended and many close friends worked. [...] Calcagno relishes the challenge and the notion that he and his family’s life “has come full circle.” After their first win over Mitty in eight seasons last weekend, a 15-14 slugfest, the Lancers are 4-1 and tied for the West Catholic Athletic League lead with Serra at 2-0. Last week against Mitty, Devin Hurtado rushed for 182 yards and two touchdowns, and 6-foot-5, 220-pound outside linebacker Steven Dinneen had 15 tackles and three sacks, giving him 11 sacks this season. Foothill snapped a five-game losing streak to a similarly big and physical San Ramon Valley-Danville this season, winning 40-28. Coach Vic Galli always seems to get the Pirates rolling by the time Bay Valley Athletic League play begins. Washington-bound LB Ben Burr-Kirven could return for SHP after missing five games with calf and Achilles tendon injuries.
