Attacker and sophomore Olivia Ganes scoops the ball and cradles it through two players from Irvine High. Ganes was able to play more aggressively during this game, according to head girls’ lacrosse coach Julie Primero. “Olivia scoring three goals was crazy,” utility player and sophomore Claire Hsin said. “I'm super proud of her for that.”
Junior Leon Yang makes a putt on hole six at Portola High’s home course, Rancho San Joaquin. Boys’ golf (6-1) won against Irvine High with a final score of 194-196 on March 21. Their next game will be against Sage Hill on April 9.
Shortstop and sophomore Keyan Park bats during the third inning. The team was energetic and played cohesively throughout the game, according to Park.
