Athletes of The Week

SOFTBALL- Junior Varsity 

Aliciana Elias '19
Aliciana played very well in our 3 games this week, making some key plays at 1st Base and in the outfield. She also hit a double against Foothill HS, which is one of our toughest EBAL opponents. Since the start of our season, Aliciana has come to practice and games with the same positive attitude and hustle and is a pleasure to coach. Great work, Aliciana!


SOFTBALL- Junior Varsity 

Caroline McLaughlin '19
We continue to see Caroline grow into our starting 1st Baseman, bringing her strong work ethic to both practices and games. Caroline had 2 hits and a walk in our win over Livermore HS last week, and made several great plays at 1st Base against Foothill HS.  We look forward to seeing her improve throughout the season.  Great job, Caroline!
