FUHS Athletics

Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this week's athletic update! Week of March 4-9: Here we go... Hello Tribe! Our softball team has been very busy. Not only did they have practice and games, but with the Mark Takkinen Softball Tournament, we've had to get our fields ready for tournament games and then throw in the rain! But the coaches, players and parents all chipped in and got the fields ready. The girls had a tough week. They won one game, against Garden Grove, but lost 3. The team is 4-6 with more games this week. They play Paramount HS at 3:15 on Monday, March 11 at home.  The baseball team continued league play this week. On Tuesday, they took on Sonora in their home opening game. The Raiders won 8-0. Disappointing but we can bounce back later in the season. We play them two more times. Then, on Friday, March 8th, the Indians traveled to Sunny Hills and defeated the Lancers 8-3. Nice win boys! The team takes on Buena Park, Wednesday away and Troy at home on Friday. Our swim teams traveled to Bonita and Sage Hill High Schools this past week. Our varsity teams did not win either contest, but that is not the end of the story. Swim, like many other high school sports has both team and individual championships. To compete in the individual CIF championships, a swimmer must achieve a qualifying time. We had 4 swimmers already reach this milestone! We look forward to many more. Our team takes on La Habra this week at La Habra HS on Wednesday at 3pm. Our boys golf team had two matches this week against Kennedy. The boys did not win as far as the score is concerned, but are improving under the leadership of our new Head Coach Jon Marquez. The boys have two matches against California High this week. The matches are on Tuesday at Fullerton Golf Course and Thursday away. Good luck golfers! Our boys tennis and track teams did not have contests this week. Both due to the rain. Both programs take on La Habra this week, both are away on Thursday. We wish our teams success. Our FUHS Athletics website is updated regularly with stories, information, scores and photos. Take a look at Fullertonindiansathletics.com . Go Indians!
