“Who controls the past controls the future.
Who controls the present controls the past.”
1984, George Orwell
George Orwell, in 1984, gave a dystopian view of the future. Much of what he wrote about has become a part of our daily lives, which is one of the reasons that this book is a favorite.

Nathan Whisman, senior guard, is quickly approaching the 1,000-point plateau in Varsity Boys basketball. He is 35 points shy of topping the mark. Nathan has played four years at the Varsity level. He is a fiery player who brings energy to the court every time he’s on it. Nathan is looking to play at the college level and will lead the Warriors into the VACA playoffs in three weeks.
Watch him in his next home game this Saturday at 5 PM, vs. SWVHS. It is also Senior Night. We will celebrate our seven seniors.

Thanks to GCS Parents Lou Cozzolino and Jay Reid, aka "Those Guys," who announced our JVB game on homecoming night. Our VG and VB games were canceled twice, consecutively due to COVID protocols at our opponents' schools. So, our JVB were the headlining act in a tough-fought loss to the SWVHS Conquerors. They have a had a great season, going 8-1 so far.
