FUHS Athletics

Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this week's athletic update! Week of Feb. 18-22: Here are the highlights of the week! Let's look at our Boys Tennis team. They are off to a strong start! They have victories over Servite and Magnolia-two strong programs. Last Friday, they took on El Dorado. They lost a close match but our boys continue to improve. As in the case of many sports, it is often one little detail that can change the contest. Our boys are working hard to turn these details in our favor! Baseball had a strong week, in spite of the rain. The rain has caused many games to be rescheduled often affecting the amount of practice time as well. The team is currently 3-3. This last week the boys defeated Schurr HS and Paramount HS. They are looking to build on these victories and build momentum as the league season starts on Friday, March 1. Softball also is improving! They started the season with three losses. But last Saturday, they defeated Pomona Catholic HS 2-1! Great win girls! If the rain stays away, the girls will have several games this upcoming week. And beginning Monday, March 4, the Coach Takkinen Memorial Classic Softball Tournament begins! There will be games every afternoon that week. Come out and support the team! Our track team was rained out last Thursday. The meet has been rescheduled for Monday, Feb. 25 in our Stadium against Anaheim HS. Then, on Saturday, one of the big track events of the year is happening. Starting at 9am, The Rotary Club of Fullerton is sponsoring the All City Track Meet with Fullerton HS, Troy HS and Sunny HS battling it out. The meet lasts till 1pm and there will be lots of food and fun. Come out and watch us compete! Our Boys Golf team and our Swim teams have not yet had any matches or meets. Boys Golf has two matches this week against Santa Fe HS. They play on Tuesday at Fullerton Golf Course and Thursday away at Santa Fe. Swim has their first meet on Tuesday, March 5. We look forward to watching our swimmers compete! Our FUHS Athletics website is updated regularly with stories, information, scores and photos. Take a look at Fullertonindiansathletics.com .
