Mario Cendejas’ journey from the Napa Valley to Oakland Roots Sports Club
By MARTY JAMES martyjames.sports@gmail.com
Each day, on his way to work as the Social Media Manager for the Oakland Roots Sports Club, Mario Cendejas takes time to think about his journey in life – including his years at Napa Valley College and also Napa Valley 1839 FC, a men’s semi-pro soccer team.
For Cendejas, there is a lot to reflect on – which goes back to getting his start as a photo intern with Napa Valley 1839 FC and then taking on more and more duties, such as sports marketing and videography.
“Despite having to leave home and working in my backyard, had it not been for 1839 FC, I don't think I would be where I'm at now,” Cendejas said, recently. “And that's why, on my way to Oakland, my commute during the week, it’s a time of reflection for me. I get to reflect and realize how much I've accomplished. I had no idea where I was going with this. But now, I've gotten somewhere.”

Mark Corbett can’t say enough about the all-around effort and quality of play that his Napa Valley College women’s soccer team – with just 11 players and no reserves – consistently puts forth in matches.
“I think it was a team-collective effort,” Corbett said, following the Storm’s 6-1 loss on Tuesday at home to Los Medanos College-Pittsburg, the Bay Valley Conference’s first-place team. “We spoke about not stopping, getting back when we lose the ball, getting back behind it.
