Markelle, Savannah, Bridget, Brooke, Cielo, Kristiana, Terah, Briana, Jessica and Kendal just finished a great season, leading the JV team to a 14-5-1 overall record and 7-1 record in Desert Sky League Conference.

Freshmen Kaitlin and Naomi and their varsity teammates have played their way into the CIF-SS division 5A post season.  Their first post season game will be on Tuesday.  In their last regular season match they beat Baker Valley who was tied with Trona for the lead in the Hi-Lo Conference.

Aryn and Katie playing on the 8th grade St. Ann Middle School team.

St. Ann had a very young 8th grade team this year - four 8th grade players (including Aryn), four 7th grade players (including Katie) and two 6th grade players.  But they still brought home a second place finish at an El Tejon Tournament back in September and finished in third at this weekends Middle School Championship Tournament at Cerro Coso Community College.
