MUSINGS
Tim Holdgrafer will end up in the LJHS Baseball Hall of Fame in five years (or however many years you have to wait to be inducted): CIF Player of the Year, Western League Player of the Year, and set many school records. Phenomenal senior season, leading the Vikings to the CIF Final, but also excellent junior and sophomore seasons. I have talked about this with Coach Gary Frank...The new context of the Scripps Archway leading onto the new football field should be nice. As former principal Dana Shelburne explained it to me, there will be steps leading up to the field level from the archway area. Very dramatic...People have talked about starting an LJHS Sports Hall of Fame, which hasn't existed before. Malaika Underwood, a woman who starred for La Jolla Class of 1999, would be a logical vote for the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Sports Hall of Fame. She was a trailblazer, besides being named CIF Athlete of the Year in her senior season as a three-sport star. She started at second base for the boys baseball team...As Mission Bay's and Kearny's new stadiums have shown, Vikings fans have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming improvements to the LJHS sports complex.
