Sports: The sports at Granite Hills high school have been going on since the year has started and there are many things that have been going on with our athletic teams this year. This is to show how we have been doing the past couple of years and if there has been a change and growth and how it affects our school.

VolleyBallVolleyball : In this volley ball season of 2011, after in-terviewing Karina Tapia, in her opinion she thinks the volleyball team is doing way much better than last year’s team as a freshman. We Asked Karina, “how do you feel about this year’s team?” she replies, “Pretty excited, hop-ing to push myself a little harder and play better than I did before.” She hopes to do way much better than she’s played before. Also asking “How the team improved throughout the years?” Karina: “We actually won more games; we won more than last year and improved way more.” What is the team doing to prepare for the season? “it is better because we are doing more drills than last year” question: are there mores students coming out this year? “For j.v this year there are 9 girls, last year (fresh-man year) there was 30 girls.” Question: why/why not is there a growth in the sports? “I think it decreased be-cause last year there was a bunch of girls” question: how big is the teams growth/ “it grew just a little more. Ques-tion: how do students do better when they go and try out for a sport? “it distracts them from doing other bad things and keep there grades up

Soccer

Soccer season is around the corner, with whole lot of girls coming out for soccer. Many excited for this season with plenty of girls ready for hard con-ditioning! As Coach Gabe Rodriguez for Varsity, Ms. Esfeaff as Assistant Coach and Coach Mari for Junior varsity. Last Year’s season was an awesome year, Varsity went off to the EYL Playoffs, which they went with a fight, and played their hearts out. Hope-fully this year Varsity goes off to playoffs once again! During conditioning the coaches have been pushing every girl to give a 100%, so they can see their great potential. A lot of sweat is given in by all the girls trying out. With a lot of girls trying out, there’s going to be a lot of good opportunities, for a great season.

FootballFootball: The football season for the Granite Hills High School players was rough. Granite Hills football has made it to the division V playoffs twice. Last year they lost against the Caruthers Blue Raiders from Caruthers, CA. But this year they faced the Liberty Hawks from Madera, CA. They lost this years play off game but they made it far. The team came a long way and was able to have a really good year. They gave the best of there effort this year and made a great difference.

Water polo: Our water polo team has done a fantastic job this year. The boys and girls this year worked really hard to get where they got. They practice every day after school to prepare themselves for every game. This year they won their last game they played this year. they did not make play offs this year but they will next year. Both boys and girls have made a great increase in thier playing.

Wrestling: Wrestling: Wrestling conditioning started on No-vember 14, 2011. We have boys and girls both go to participate for this sport. It seems like we will have a good team this year. They are preparing themselves now to make sure they are ready for when the season starts. Their main goal is to do better than they did last year. This looks like a great year to star off this year for our wrestling team. One of the boys on the team this year is Brandon Moody. This is his first year participating for the sport as a sophomore.

Thanks to our team this year for working hard in order to get this done. they have put effort in their work and have had the experince to work together and become closer to each other.
