November Athletes of the Week
Cheer, football and tennis Eagles wrap up their fall seasons
Week of Nov. 14
Layla Solano, Varsity Cheer
“Layla is one of our senior captains and she is a huge asset to the team. Her positive attitude and strong work ethic are always evident at each game and practice. She leads her team by example and good direction. Layla is the first to help a teammate in need and she is always willing to step into another position to fill a spot. She has been super supportive to the coaching staff all season and she is always willing to lend a hand with music or equipment. Layla works hard and pushes herself every week by continually learning new things to improve herself and lead her teammates,” Coach Mara Smialek said.
Kadyn Parr, Varsity Football
“Kadyn has been our starting quarterback all year and has been a wonderful leader on the field. He works hard and has led us to the quarterfinals in CIF Southern Section playoffs,” Coach Casey Webb said.
Week of Nov. 28
Niyati Guram, Varsity Girls Tennis
“Niyati had an amazing season in so many ways! She started off her freshman season at 18-0! Niyati finished the regular season at 35-3! Niyati was also a true team player, staying after practice to play with her teammates and supporting them after her match was finished. Niyati will represent our school at the CIF Individual Championships on Nov. 21. She was a pleasure to have on the team, not only for her dominant play, but also her positive and friendly attitude,” Coach Adam Nielson said.
