 Hey warriors! On Wednesday the 26th, we have an away game against Evergreen Valley High School. Currently our record is 1 - 3, and unfortunately on a two game losing streak. Last year EV won the league and went undefeated. With our next match against EV we hope we can win to snap this unfortunate streak. We hope players like Molly Do, AnhBang Nguyen, and Nam Duong can do well like they have recently to support our team and go for the win. Come out if you can and Goodluck YB!

 Hey Hey warriors! On Friday March 28th we head to Leland highschool to face off against the chargers! Their record is currently set at 1 - 4, and Leland’s record is 2 - 3. So this match might be a close one!
