Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this athletic update!
Athletics for the Week of Dec. 3-7:
The big story this past week has been the play of our Boys Soccer team. The team is currently undefeated with a perfect 7-0 record! The boys played two very tough opponents this week, Valencia HS and La Habra HS. Against Valencia, the Indians jumped out to a 4-1 lead at half. They ended up winning 5-3. Then the boys played in the league opener, against La Habra. They were behind early, with La Habra leading 2-1 at the half. Then we scored to tie the game. Then on to overtime and we scored twice to win the game 4-2!
In Girls Soccer, the girls played Corona HS on Monday. The team came up with a victory by a 2-1 score. Then the team battled La Habra in their league opener. The Lady Indians led at halftime, but La Habra scored twice in the second half to win 2-1. We continue league play this upcoming week against Sonora HS on Thursday.
The Girls Basketball team had another solid week. The team squared off against Western HS on Tuesday. The girls swept the Pioneers at all three levels! Then, on Friday, another League opening game, also against La Habra. The girls played very well and led after 3 quarters. However, La Habra got the hot hand and outscored the team to take the victory. The JV Girls Basketball team is undefeated!
The Boys Basketball team also took on La Habra this past Friday in league opening play. The boys got off to a great start, but the size and depth of La Habra took over and our boys lost. Next up, the team plays Sonora in the home opener of league play on Friday, Dec. 21 in which we will also be celebrating our 125 Year Anniversary with Alumni in a Pre-Game Show! Game time is 7:30. Come out and support the team!.
In Girls Water Polo, the team came into their league opening contest undefeated, with a 7-0 record. Unfortunately, the girls lost in their league opening game against La Habra. The girls are committed to correcting errors in their play and to give 100% effort in each game. The team takes on Sonora on Thursday at the Troy HS pool at 6pm. Go Tribe!
Finally, in Wrestling, the team took on league champion Sonora HS. The Indian wrestlers did not win the meet but battled in every match and gave it their best. The team also wrestled in the Downey Invitational this past weekend. Several athletes placed high in their weight classes. The team travels to Sunny Hills this upcoming Thursday to take on the Lancers.
