Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this week's athletic update!
Week of Feb. 25 - Mar. 1:
Here is the next edition...
Let's begin with a look at our varsity softball team. The team's record is 3-3. The girls started with 3 losses but have rebounded nicely with 3 wins! They beat J.Serra, Trabuco Hills and Segerstrom High Schools. The team was scheduled to play two more games on Saturday, March 2, but were rained out. Upcoming, our softball program is sponsoring the Mark Takkinen Classic Softball Tournament which begins on Monday, March 4, with games all week (weather permitting). The games are all at Fullerton HS and begin at 3:15.
Our boys tennis program also had a good week. They beat La Mirada HS by a wide margin on Tuesday, Feb. 26. Then they played a very good Woodbridge team on Thursday, Feb. 28. The boys lost the match but played very well. Several of the games were decided by the smallest detail. It could have gone either way. We are encouraged by the progress that our team is making and look forward to many quality matches in the future. The team plays Valley Christian HS on Tuesday, March 5 at home.
Our boys golf team began play this past week. They played two matches against Santa Fe HS (Tuesday and Thursday). We did not win either match, but the boys played well and our coach is encouraged by the progress they are making. The boys play two matches against Kennedy HS this week. Good luck golfers!
Our varsity baseball team is riding high after a week that saw them gain two more victories. They defeated Estancia HS and opened Freeway League play with a 4-1 win over La Habra! The team is 5-3 overall and 1-0 in the Freeway League standings. The team is combining solid pitching and defense with timely hitting to pick up the latest wins. The team plays Sonora HS at home at 2:30 on Tuesday and Sunny Hills HS at Sunny Hills at 2:30 on Friday this week. After this week, the games will be begin at 3:15. Go Tribe!
Our swim teams start competition this week. On Tuesday, they travel to Bonita HS and on Friday, the swimmers take on Sage Hill at their pool. Both matches begin at 3pm. We have Boys and Girls Varsity, Girls JV and Boys and Girls Frosh/Soph teams,
Last, our track team competed in a scrimmage meet against Anaheim HS last Monday, Feb.25. Scrimmages are a good way to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of our teams. We don't keep score, but all the athletes compete at their best. Often, in track and field events, the athlete competes to achieve their PR (personal record). We look forward to many PRs being set by our athletes! The next track meet is at La Habra on March 14. The City Track meet scheduled for March 2 has been rescheduled to March 16.
