Team thoughts | “Offensively we did great, defensively we were struggling,” junior linebacker Luis Giron said. “Specifically in the first half, but we were able to get it together for the rest of the game. We were able to get through it by having players on the team step up and push us to do our best.”

Parents and students cheered on the team as seniors on the field and bleachers mourned their last homecoming game. With a strong homecoming win in the books, students were filled with excitement for the following night; homecoming.

About the contributor

Isabel Valles, Athletics Editor
Through participating in multiple sports writing competitions, I was able to prove my commitment to the class and was chosen to become sports editor in my second year of journalism. My love for sports writing came around the time my love for sports developed around 6 years ago. Another thing I love about writing about sports is being able to inform and catch up readers about games that they may have missed. Currently I play three sports, flag football, track and field, and basketball. After high school I plan on attending either the University of Pennsylvania or the University of Santa Cruz. My goal for this year as editor is to become a better leader and learn from any mistakes that I might make in the process.
