Freshman, Janina Bolhorn, commented ,”We do a cheer every time before the swim meet starts. Plus, we have pasta parties that help us get to know one another and build team spirit”. The girls swim coach also encourages the girls sitting down, waiting for their turn to swim, to cheer for their teammate swimming down the lane because “it makes a big difference”. Freshman Desiree Fisk said “We usually tap each other on the face and jump around right before our race so it gets our adrenaline going. It’s kinda funny”.

Girls’ Water Polo Senior Night

by

Varsity huddles up to encourage one another before their last game of the season.

During the last game of the season, girls’ varsity water polo players cheered on their only senior varsity member at their annual senior night. As a time-honored tradition, the varsity seniors were congratulated for their sportsmanship and teamwork. This year, Meghan Rafael was the only senior on varsity and was honored by coaches, parents, and teammates before the last home game begun. “What made Senior Night so special was the poster all the girls signed for me. Their quotes made me feel super loved and I will truly miss them all! Water polo has been such a great experience and I’m so sad to see it end.” said Rafael.

Following senior night we played in one of the best games of the year. Water polo is a game of determination, hard-work, and teamwork; three perks that our Lady Titans proved to be vital in the game against the Laguna Hills Hawks. Throughout the entire game, Goalie sophomore Amy Jenson put the team on her back and dominated the cage. Sophomore Emma Peterson scored three goals against the Hawks, and all the girls did a tremendous job by working together. Sadly, the Hawks won in a very close game of 10 to 14. We wrapped up the season last night and we will get them during swim season!

Tesoro Girls’ Basketball off to CIF

by

Captin Lea Wodach, 10, scored 29 points in the tie-breaker game which is only one away from the record for points in a single game.

With only two returning varsity players from last season it didn’t seem like the odds were very good for the girls to make CIF this season. However, the ladies were able to rally together and finish the season tied for third in league. Because they were tied for third they had to play a playoff game against Trabuco Hills last Friday night. The ladies played their best and fought hard but lost 56-46. It was a crushing loss but Coach Jim Arneson was able to petition for an at large bid and it got accepted! The ladies play Saturday night at 7 at Segerstrom High School in Santa Ana in the first round of the Division 2AA.
