FOOTBALL

In October the Lancers dove into league play. The boys had tough run through league play that was highlighted by a clutch win over Esperanza HS 17-14. In the Kappa League the Lancers faced off against Portola, Esperanza, Fullerton and Canyon. Unfortunately the Lancers were unable to play St. Margaret's due to the wildfires. The Lancers finished the season with a record of 3-9, with wins over Westminster, Kennedy and Esperanza. The final home game versus Portola was highlighted by Dad's Night, where the dads came into the locker room pregame and be a part of the pregame locker room experience with their sons.
