I congratulated Athletic Director Paula Conway on the Vikings' spring sports teams' success, with several competing in post-season CIF playoffs.
"Your magic touch has worked," I told her, smiling. Paula had a big grin on her face. "A busy week," she said in acknowledgement of Viking success recently. This was during the boys' volleyball second round match in the Open Division, an honor itself, at home against Mt. Carmel.
The boys lacrosse team won its first round match Tues., May 19, 12-8, over visiting Country Day.
La Jolla's softball team opens play in CIF Thursday afternoon, May 21, at home against Monte Vista.
The girls lacrosse team, with its season completed, vied in the Open Division playoffs, though losing its initial game.
Of course, the boys tennis team, a perennial power, competed in the Open Division as well--unfortunately matched up against Torrey Pines, which has won a CIF title every year since the late 1980's.
The baseball team looks to be a first or second seed when the CIF meeting is held Sat., May 23, with its first game to be Wed., May 27, following the three-day Memorial Day Weekend.
Meanwhile, the boys volleyball team had its hands full in the second round match against visiting Mt. Carmel as Paula and I spoke.
Another remarkable thing is the fact that many or most of these teams mentioned above have been seeded high enough to host playoff games. This is truly a golden spring of sports at the 93-year-old school on Westbourne.
Everyone is enjoying it.
