November 2, 2021 – Sophomore Joseph Bey has turned into a defensive specialist for the Serra Padres. The experience of being a freshman varsity player is paying off for Coach Walsh and his staff. It was a smart move, to say the least. Bey, in his second season with the Padres, has definitely shown tremendous growth along the way. He is one of the best free safeties in the league with one of the “others”, is his teammate, senior Malakai Hoeft.

Serra’s secondary is one of the best in NorCal with seven interceptions and multiple forced fumbles and pass breakups. Bey leads the Padre’s DB squad with 35 total tackles, behind fellow sophomore Jabari Mann’s 49. Mann is Serra’s hard-hitting MLB. Bey and Mann along with Danny Niu and Collin Tahitua, all played varsity in the five-game Spring 2021 season. All four got plenty of action and mentorship from the Padre’s senior leadership.

With the regular season wrapping up, Bey’s role will be key in defending St. Francis’ speedy running back JuJu Teu and wide receivers Tim Netane and Andrew Adkison. Serra doesn’t give up a lot of points and Bey is the insurance policy that sits back deep to make sure no one advances the ball or scores past him. 

Saturday afternoon will be a great showdown of talent between the Serra Padres and the St. Francis Lancers. The regular-season finale features two undefeated teams with one winner for the coveted West Catholic Athletic League championship. Kick-off time is at 2:30pm at the Brady Family Stadium in San Meteo on the campus of Serra High School.

July 4, 2021 – Serra Football’s future is bright with talents coming in and out of a program that has experienced some successes in recent years. Despite the 2020-2021 season being delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Padres overcame and gifted their long-time coach of 20 years an undefeated season. Head football coach Patrick Walsh, the man responsible for igniting the movement to bring back high school and youth athletics back in California, was the inspiration, and the motivation, that kept Serra firing on all cylinders this past season. Serra was led by a group of seniors that took the underclassmen, including four freshmen, under their wings to fight and sacrifice for each other, an act of love and brotherhood that is the foundation of the program. Joseph Bey, was one of those underclassmen, a freshman and a young budding leader on the defense who caught two major universities’ attention so far, Arizona State and Pittsburgh. Bey started and played a considerable amount of time on defense and special teams. And with the 2021 Fall season fast approaching, the offseason grind just got more intense for “the future” of Padre football.
