First Home Game Highlights
On Friday our Sea Kings took on the Edison Chargers in our first home game of the year. This was the first time our Red Tide section was able to cheer on our team in the stands for two years. Our students were excited to be a part of Red Tide and contributed with positive energy to the game and school culture. Even though the team lost, it was a great day to be a Sea King. Make sure to come out on Friday as we play Banning at home!
