As soon as our day camp site was cleaned and 'left better than we arrived' (Boy Scout rule...), I drove down the canyon to make it to Christine's last game of the tournament.
Action Shots.
After the game, the goalie leads the team in a respectful high-five with their competitors.
Face-Off.
Look at the ball position between the two sticks.
Very tricky.
It gets thrown up in the air and whichever team gets it first has the offense.
Team yells.
Get that adrenaline pumping.
Teamwork.
In the goal.
It was a shut-out.
Fighting for that ball.
Christine saved this penalty shot to keep the shut out.
(The newspaper article)
Surprising many with their rapidly developing skills, the JV girls lacrosse are making a definite impression in southern Orange County. In the annual Sticks and Stones tournament, the Tesoro girls brought up the intensity in their game against Corona Del Mar High School but fell short 2-4. They returned with a win of 6-2 against El Toro, and ended the tournament with a shut out ( yeah, that's our goalie girl: CHRISTINE!) against the renowned Mater Dei. The wins were a true success, but the memories of the event proved just as wonderful. Sophomore Faith Duarte said “the best part of the tournament was definitely playing hard and growing together as a team. I thought it was going to be pretty exhausting but there was never a dull moment; the spirits were high and everyone was so supportive and positive. Overall it was an awesome experience and I would for sure do again!”
Most importantly, the strong bonds played a huge role in their success. Sophomore Leah Jelaco said, “the whole team worked really hard and everyone contributed to the wins and the scores really showed how far we have all come to work together.”
The shutout against Mater Dei was magical. It is a private religious school with one of the best programs in socal. Their coach used to be our coach until she accepted a position there this year.
Go Titans!
