![]() By: Eduardo Yanez With soccer season coming to an end, an update is in need. The boys started off rough but it seems now that they have managed to gain a four-game winning streak. The girls seem to be doing fine as they have just beat their local rivals once again for the second time this season. The boys are appearing to be making somewhat of a comeback as they defeat the team currently in first place. The boys turned the season around after they took their fourth defeat against Cristo Rey High School. Since then the boys have defeated Summit Shasta for the second time, first place holder Summit Prep, their local rivals DCP Alum Rock, and last but not least LCPA. The girls seemed to take a turn for the worst up until last week when the girls defeated their local rivals for the second time. The boys seem to have flipped the script as they are now on a four-game winning streak. Their next matchup is against first place team Summit Prep who are looking for revenge after losing to KIPP on the first match. The KIPP boys are looking to defeat Summit once more and take a spot among the top three schools on the leaderboard. One of the captains from the KIPP boys varsity team said, “ Summit is our last hard game. After winning this game the rest of the league will be a smooth cruise. I’m proud of the boys because they all have learned so much and we have really turned things around in the league.” The boys seem optimistic about the league despite having a rough start. The girls seemed to have a downfall after losing two games in a row, but that all changed last week. The KIPP girls varsity soccer team faced their local rivals, DCP Alum Rock, for the second time and they came out victorious. The KIPP girls were triumphant after winning by a score of three to zero. The KIPP girls varsity soccer team captain had this to say, “This is what the girls needed. We needed to win to get our motivation and now we will use this as momentum to hopefully defeat the rest of the teams left in the season.” The girls seem motivated to end off the season strong as they prepare for their next match against Cristo Rey. The season may be coming to an end, but both the boys and the girls seemed determined to end off the season with a bang. The Wolfpack may have had a rough start, but now it’s their turn to leave their mark on the league. How will the boys and girls finish the season? Stay tuned to find out.

It’s the 2nd year of the KSJC Golf team in the division and they aren’t off to a great start. This team has some returning players and a majority of them are young, so they’re going to develop throughout the season. They’ve had four games and it isn’t looking too good which is causing them to suffer from a 0-4 record. “We’re getting there. Just give us some time” Cristian Becerra had said after being reminded of the record. However, even though a lot of people play this game, they still don’t have a correct understanding of the rules. Golf is a unique game. Others consider golf as more of a “game” compared to a “sport”. A variety of sticks are able to be used to hit the golf ball, depending on what area the ball is. Unlike most sports, the score is determined differently. In golf, the lower the score, the more it’s actually worth. A round of golf is played over 18 holes. The score is based on the number of tries it takes a person of the team to get the golf ball into the hole. So, the lower your score is, the higher chance you have of winning. Generally, you are in charge of keeping track of the score for your opponent, and your opponent is responsible for keeping track of your score. I interviewed one of the golf players and asked them why they decided to join the golf team this spring and he responded saying,“I joined the golf team because I had past experience as a younger kid and I thought it would be something that I would go back to” Ethan Khuu-Tran has said. Then I asked Daniel Le, what is the hardest part of playing golf and he said,“Getting your strokes right. When you aim incorrectly, the ball doesn’t go where you want it to go”. Head coach of the KSJC Golf team, Coach Thomas has brought the team to a 0-4 record. The team consists of a total of 12 players with ranging from all different grade levels. There is three freshmen, six sophomores, one junior, and two seniors. The three freshman on the team is Kayla Wong, Cristian Becerra, and Daniel Le. The six sophomores are Ethan Khuu-Tran, Samantha Delgado, Daisy Carmona, Andre Pham, Thuy Nguyen, and Celine De Villa. The only junior on the team is Ethan Pugay, and lastly, the two seniors are Chloee Wong, and team captain Tyler Thai. The team’s latest game was against Independence High School on April 2nd. They lost to a score of 310 to 244. With more time and practice, their next few games shouldn’t be so hard. |
