“It feels great to advance to CIF because we actually have a chance to go far this year and we have so many good players that help this team so much,” said Carlos Dela Rosa, varsity senior.

Frosh, JV, and varsity teams were all victorious against Pacifica Sea Bulldogs, 13-6, 10-2 and 15-5, respectively Oct. 22, at home. Facing the El Dorado Aztecs, varsity won, 9-3, and JV won, 3-2, while the freshmen lost, 15-4, Oct.18 at home.

“Being part of this team has helped me learn to work together as a team and as a rookie I have learned a lot from my teammates. Teamwork is a group effort and if everyone doesn’t contribute then we won’t be successful,” said Andrew De Hoyos, frosh freshman.

“We have a team mainly built of juniors that have played for a while together. The three seniors we have on varsity have a lot of experience, and we seem to be jelling at the right time. We’ve taken every opponent seriously and we don’t plan on taking any opponent lightly,” said Head Coach David Argumosa.
