Fall Sports
Let’s take a look at how our teams are doing
Girls Tennis – PCL
LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!
CIF Division 1 Runner Up
Our girls tennis team ran into a superb Peninsula team last Friday at the CIF championships. Our girls put
up a great fight but ended the day as the CIF Division 1 Runner Up. What a great accomplishment for our
girls. Despite the loss, our girls were selected to play in the state tournament and were awarded the
overall #3 seed. Our girls cruised through their first round match on Tuesday winning 7-0. Tomorrow our
girls will play in the quarterfinals and if they win the semifinals are right after. The finals would be on
Saturday. Good Luck girls and congratulations on another outstanding year.
Winter Sports
We are currently in transition from the fall season to the winter season. All of our winter sports are
practicing hard for their season openers. Most sports will play their first games the first week of
December. There will be no Trojan Thursday next week but we will be back with updates on our winter
teams on December 4th.

will kick things off at 5:00. At 6:00 the JV team will take on a team of UNI staff members. At 7:00 you will
