Not to be redundant, but La Jolla's standing in the Western League stood starkly in contrast to that of Canyon Hills, the Vikings' opponent Wed., Oct. 30.
There they are: The standings in the conference show Coach Amanda Combs Warford's team in second place, at 6-4, behind Bishop's.
Below them is Scripps Ranch, under .500 with four wins and five losses.
Way below them comes up the Rattlers, they of the other decades-long dominance, now humbled at 4-6 for fifth place.
Mind you, things can all change with the postseason, which start next week (Nov. 5). But again, the point is made, La Jolla is in the upper echelon, their two former mortal enemies--the Falcons and Rattlers, back then the Conquistadors--bringing up the rear.
It's hard to explain to a newbie who hasn't lived the reality of the way things were under the two dominant coaches in the area.
Combs doesn't have a big head, and she's not talking trash as her Vikings continue to play well after a successful trip to the Bay Area Oct. 18-20. She lets her girls play.
Sydney Hersman, a freshman, is a product of the new feeder program at Muirlands Middle School. She's already a starter on the varsity as a ninth-grader, with hopefully many years of productivity ahead of her.
