ATHLETICS RECAP 9/15 – 9/19

 

• • Football defeated La Serna 38-14! The Saints came out blistering hot, scoring on their first offensive possession in only three plays. Caden Jones and the offense put up 24 points in the first, with Caden throwing the ball and Dillon Booth rushing for two touchdowns. The defense stifled the La Serna offense, which was unable to move the ball until the end of the game.  Currently, in the OC Register rankings, the Saints are ranked 11th. They will head into their bye this week.

  • Girls Volleyball swept both of their opponents this week. On the road at La Habra, the Saints took care of business and won all three sets. When hosting Troy, the girls were able to control the game the entire time, winning all three sets. The Saints are now 3-0 in league, at the halfway point, and are currently 20-1 overall!

  • Girls Flag Football lost their league game against Cypress on Wednesday. It was a game that could have gone either way, but the Saints couldn’t hold on for the victory, losing 12-21. They are 9-6 overall and only a quarter into the league schedule.

  • Boys Water Polo played in one game against Long Beach Poly last week. It was a great game for the Saints, where they put up 18 goals! The defense was solid as well, only allowing nine. The Saints will play two important games this week: the first is against reigning league champions Foothill. If they can beat them, they have an excellent opportunity to win the league. The other is against the OC Top 10 team, Laguna Beach.

  • Girls Tennis lost their only match of the week to San Juan Hills. It was a close matchup that came down to only one game; they lost 8-10. After a very tough non-league schedule, they are 4-3 on the season heading into league.

  • Cross Country competed in the Woodbridge Invitational on Friday. It was a great event for all of the teams! The Saints had 21 athletes who ran their PR! The girls’ varsity team finished 9th out of 22 teams, and the boys’ varsity finished 13th out of 26 teams.
