The COVID pandemic has been a tough storm to weather, but some programs are prospering as they come out of it.
La Jolla High's baseball team, building a 14-2 record so far in the 2021 season, has reached the championship game in each of their first three tournaments. This has never been done before, according to a source.
The Vikings under head coach Gary Frank have won two of the three tourneys, the latest a 5-3 win over Christian High to take the GMC Tournament Sat., April 24. GMC stands for Grossmont-Metro-City.
"What is most gratifying," said Frank, "is that different players in each game have stepped up with clutch hits and key performances on the mound."
Simon Baker had two hits and two RBI, and Beau Brown had two hits and an RBI.
Ryan Lancaster, Kevin Steel, and Brown turned in strong pitching performances in the latest tournament.
The big guns for La Jolla have included Gavin Graff, hitting .447 with five wins on the mound, Luke Roberts, at .400, and Owen McNally, also a winner of five games.
Reportedly, the Vikings have never reached the championship game in their first three tournaments before in the history of the school, which dates back to 1922.
