Girls wrestling team captures first place

Despite going 5-0 in League, the girls did not make CIF because it only has two divisions in the playoffs. The Indians will travel to Sonora for the League Finals match on Feb. 2.

They currently sit in fourth with a league record of 3-6. Despite a coaching change, senior captain Janelle Flores says the team has developed a good mentality they have carried throughout the season and has helped them improve. “I feel like the team [dynamic] is different from last year. The team really wants it and our work ethic has changed,” Flores said.

Girls water polo

Junior Olivia Brazo (pictured) in a 1-5 loss on Dec. 12 against Rancho Cucamonga who are undefeated in their Baseline League. The Indians came into the season with a new team and new attitude. With seniors leaving and junior varsity players moving up, learning to work as a team was another aspect that had to be practiced. Brazo said the switch from playing junior varsity to varsity was a learning curve. “There’s only three varsity returners this year. It’s basically a completely new team, so it’s almost a completely new game,” Brazo said. “There are stronger players and just learning how to play in a varsity game is very different.” The girls water polo team will travel to La Habra in their League Carousel on Feb. 1 with a 0-4 record in league and sitting in fifth overall.
