Soccer had a terrific week of games and celebrations. On Friday 1/24 the Freshman had a flawless win over Livermore at the CAC. With the weekend off the teams were able to get some much needed rest! On Tuesday 1/28 the JV team had a tight battle with Granada ending in a 1-1 tie. Following the JV game we celebrated a truly amazing group of Seniors before the Varsity team played Granada. The following seniors have given so much to Cougar Soccer and the impact they have had will be felt in many years to come:  Carissa Capinpin, Julia Freeman, Liana Huerta, Ellie Ospeck, Grace Watson, Maddie Winter, and  Lexi Zandonella.  Following the Senior Night festivities the Cougars took the field and put together a solid game winning 2-0!  On Wednesday 1/29 the Freshmen team traveled down to Livermore to take on Granada and continued to play to their potential winning  2-0!

January 22 we had a visit from Carondelet Hall of Famer Jayne Appel Marinelli! She gave the girls some great words of wisdom on the mental side of the game, playing for the girls around you, pregame rituals, and how hard work pays off.  The basketball teams had a busy Friday and Saturday. On Friday, the basketball program headed down the 680 for their match up with Amador Valley. The Freshmen team set the tone with a strong win backed by solid defense. The JV team won their game in typical grind it out style. While the Varsity had an exciting game winning by 1! Saturday saw the Varsity team heading over to Heritage HS to play against St. Mary's of Stockton. They played tough all four quarters but just couldn't finish with a win. On Tuesday, the Freshmen had a break, and the JV and Varsity played excellent games vs. Amador Valley at home solidifying two wins at home!
