With about 4 minutes remaining, one of the girls fouled out. Down to only four players, the girls adapted and rose to the occasion to pull out a 42-34 victory, their first victory of the season...Go Cougars!
The Girls Varsity and JV combined played together and pulled out a great win against Vallejo last week!

AHS ATHLETE - SPOTLIGHT ON SUCCESS
"JV boys soccer would like to recognize Magnus Tangherlini for his outstanding defensive efforts this year. Magnus has been an outstanding reliable defender who has constantly worked hard to improve while simultaneously humble in his mannerisms. Magnus has been to all the practices and is always good at communicating to the coach and is a great teammate. Opponents have come to fear the cougar defensive line as the cougars have only been scored on 4 times this year with a 7-1 record. Good job Magnus!" - Coach David Janinis
