The Lady Tigers played host to the visiting Lions in the second and final Apple Game of the season on Jan. 25, using an outstanding all-around effort to post a 43-17 rout.

It’s been a challenging start for Analy and El Molino varsity baseball teams in the early stages of their respective North Bay League seasons, as evidenced by a pair of divisional losses for both last week. 

To establish consistency at the junior varsity level, in a small school, is a difficult challenge each and every year. The coaching staff is handed a roster and asked to run with it. The varsity program picks and chooses its players and fills its roster with those “varsity ready” athletes, which usually means the JV program has a fresh new group to rally around and compete with year after year. This year’s championship team (18-8 over-all) was no exception returning only three players from last year’s successful campaign.
