Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this week's athletic update!
Week of Jan. 14-18:
City Champions!
The three Fullerton High Schools compete for the title of City Champions in any sport. This year, the Fullerton High School wrestling team won this honor!
Last Wednesday night, we traveled to Troy High School for a match. This match was to decide not only the city champion but also the 2nd league playoff entry and the JV league championship! We achieved all three! We won both levels of matches against Troy HS, we are JV league champions, playoff bound and city champions! Congratulations to the athletes and coaches for a great season!
The girls soccer team also had an important victory this week. Last Thursday night, as the rain was just ending, the girls beat La Habra HS in their league game. The girls are hoping to rebound from a disappointing first half of the league season with a stronger second half. This game "jump starts" the girls to play their best with four league games remaining. The team plays Sonora and Sunny Hills this week. And come out to their game against Sonora on Friday night at 7pm in our Stadium. The game is dedicated to Fight Cancer! Come out and support this great cause.
In Boys Soccer, the team continues to play well. They beat Troy on Wednesday, 2-1. On Friday the team battled La Habra for the 2nd time this season. At the end of regulation, the score was tied. The game went to the first overtime and also ended in a tie. In the second overtime, La Habra scored a late goal and won the game. Disappointing yes, but the team is still in first place in the Freeway League with four games to play. Good luck boys!
Our girls water polo team continues to battle for a Freeway League Playoff spot. The girls play Troy this week. Then, on Thursday, the league carousel begins. In the carousel, the teams play in a tournament style format to determine the league champion and playoff entries. Teams that may have struggled in the first round of play still have a chance to win league! The games will be on Thursday, Monday and Tuesday. The championship game will be on Wednesday. Hopefully we will be playing in that game!
The girls basketball team had an exciting game last Friday against La Habra. The girls outscored the Highlanders from La Habra in the first half. But La Habra out scored our Lady Indians in the second half. Regulation time ended with the game tied. Fullerton jumped ahead early in the overtime. La Habra battled but in the end, we won by two points! The girls were really excited. It was thrilling to watch the team battle in such a close game. Congratulations to our girls on the great win!
In boys basketball, the boys continue to battle for each point, rebound and loose ball. The team did not have a victory this week, but they continue to give it their all in every practice and game. We are proud of you. Continue to utilize the pride you have in yourselves, your team, your school, your family and your community to be victorious even if the score does not go in our favor. Persevere even though the journey can be rough.
