The BIG event this week is Open House. Come by on Thursday, Jan. 17 from 6-8 and say hello. Our teams are ready to meet prospective students and parents and let them know how great it is to be an Indian!
Let's begin this weeks wrap up with wrestling. Our wrestling team notched another victory this week, downing Buena Park 48-33 The team is 3-1 in league play (the JV is 4-0). Our victory sets up a huge match this Wednesday against Troy. The warriors are also 3-1, so 2nd place is at stake; and the playoffs! With the closure of our gym, the game has been moved to Troy HS. The JV matches begin at 5:30 and Varsity following. A large crowd is expected so come early!
Our girls water polo team continues to battle in league play. The girls are 8-4 overall and 1-2 in league play. The Lady Indians battle Buena Park this week on Wednesday at the Troy HS pool. The game begins at 7pm. You can catch 2 sports on one night as the wrestling team is also at Troy that night. Go Ladies!
Our boys basketball team competed in two games this past week. They lost to Sunny Hills on Tuesday but bounced back against Buena Park with a 70-43 win. The boys play Troy and La Habra this upcoming week. Both games are at home. All of our remaining home games have been moved to Fullerton College. The game times remain the same. Both games are going to be incredibly competitive. Come by and support the boys!
The girls basketball team continues to play with determination and enthusiasm. The girls also played Sunny Hills and Buena Park this last week. The outcome of the games was not in our favor, however the girls continue to persevere and give each game their best. League play continues this upcoming week against Troy and La Habra. Like the boys games, these games will be played at Fullerton College, same day and time as scheduled.
Girls soccer achieved their first league victory this week! The girls record is 8-10-1 and 1-3 in league play. The next few games are critical as we seek a playoff berth. The team beat Buena Park last Thursday. They play at Troy HS on Tuesday and at La Habra on Thursday. Good luck ladies!
The boys soccer team continues to play great! The team played our biggest rival and last year's league champion, Sunny Hills on Wednesday. After regulation play, the game was tied 0-0. In the first overtime, we scored! And again in the second overtime to win 2-0! On Friday, we battled Buena Park to a 0-0 tie. The team is 14-1-1 and ranked first in our CIF division. The team has recorded 10 shutouts! We wish them continued success this next week against Troy and La Habra!
