[media-credit name=”FC file photo” align=”alignright” width=”300″][/media-credit]In the hopes of better communication, the athletic department will offer a short sports news brief every three to four weeks that will be published on Mondays. Sports Center will publish dates, times and locations of upcoming contests as well as highlight crucial events that our parents, supporters and students might wish to attend.

The winter sports calendars are beginning to heat up and this month’s soccer and basketball beginning their seasons the first week of December. Both sports are also getting ready for tournaments by mid month.

While the football team lost the CIF Central Section 8-man division championship, they ended their season with a 4-1 record in the Central Sierra League and 7-4 overall record. The girls varsity volleyball team finished the season, losing in the semi-final round of the CIF Central Section Division 5 play-offs to Minarets High School, the eventual division champions. The girls finished the season with 13-12 overall record, going 5-5 in West Sequoia League play.

Finally, in cross country, seniors Daniel Moore and Tyler Laird finished 24th and 25th in the Central Section Valley Championships at Woodward Park, Nov. 21. Senior Aliciana Quintana also ran in the girls’ race and finished ninth, sending her to the CIF State Championships.

The department includes Athletic Director Mick Fuller, Athletic Secretary Michelle Morse and Facilities Supervisor Val Rivera. They can still be reached via email, phone and on Twitter: @FCEaglesSports

As a reminder, all high school students must have their sports physicals completed before they will be allowed to practice. Athletes must also complete an athletic packet.

Athletes will receive their uniforms at practice from their coach within the first few weeks of practice.
