Fall Sports By Tori Galloway and Alex Phiang Football The Panthers football team has had a rough time getting started in there 2018 season. The boys are 0-2 in league and 4-3 overall. Since the creation of the new league CCC, the competition in all sports has in- creased tremendously, and Panthers football is one that has been getting hit the hardest. Jaquile Ingram (19) says, “During pre-season we were off to a great start at 3-1, and going into league we were really hyped and looking forward to it. Then we played Gregori and we just couldn’t seem to pull it together after that. I am hop- ing we at least beat Downey and get a few more wins this season”. The season has been tough. Coach Bradley Taylor says, “This year, the expectations were high due to the number of speedy athletes on our roster. While our team has shown glimpses of what we are truly ca- pable of, we have yet to fully come together as a collective unit and showcase our teamwork”. Coach Taylor has an optimistic view for the rest of the season de- spite the rough times. He says, “we are confident our athletes can band together and finish the season on a high note”. __ Boys’ Water Polo This year’s season of water polo is a tran- sitional year. With new coaches and new plays, the season hasn’t been all that great for the boys’ team. The seasonal score is 0-5, placing them last in the league. Things look pretty bleak and the sea- son is quickly ending. According to Francisco Arrizon (19), “It’s been a rough one (season), by far. But the team is slowly coming together. It’s been rough because the team hasn’t been together. We’ve had some players out for surgery other have gotten hurt but we’re going to come together at the end of the season and get some wins that we need”. But despite the rough moments, Francisco has a positive outlook for the future of the season. He says, “I expect the team to get a lot better. Be a more cohesive unit and play a lot better at games than we’ve have in the past”. Girls’ Water Polo The Girls’ team is in a better shape this season. The seasonal score is 4-3 placing them 4th in the league. This year’s girls’ team is also in a transitional phase with a new coach, but they seem to be adapting well and it hasn’t stopped them from playing their best. Jessica Martin (19) says, “So far in the season, we’ve had our ups and downs, but our team has grown closer and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season”. Jessica also says she, “expect [her] team to finish the season strong”. As do we! Cross Country As for the Cross-Country teams, the boys’ varsity team is doing pretty well. They are currently 2nd in league and battling for the title of league champions. Alan Guerrero (19) says, “We want to win the league championship. We have been close before and can do it at the end of the year when we are at our peak for the season”. Alan also hopes they can beat Gregori, the only league team the boys haven’t beat yet. The Girls’ varsity team isn’t so lucky. With many injuries and health issues, the team is struggling. They are currently 4th in the league. Despite their place, Isabella (20) has a positive attitude for the rest of the season. She says, “I expect to PR (Personal Record) and get a medal in the upcoming races”. Girls’ Tennis The Lady Panther Tennis team is running for fourth in league. They are 1-6 in league and 3-8 overall. Claire Turner says, “I feel that we all improved a lot as a team, even though we may not have won many games I think we all have collectively come together as a team”. And this is important for any team. Coach Vaughan says,“I’ve really come to enjoy the team. We have 18 girls who are eager to improve and constantly push them- selves and compete even when the odds are stacked against them. I’m so proud of their work ethic and continued pursuit of perfection. I have some true fighters on the team”. Coach Vaughan has been coaching Tennis for 11 years, and has also coached many years in other sports at Modesto High. Girls’ Golf Where the other sports still have a couple weeks left, our MHS golfers’ season is the first to end. They will place 4th in the league. There have been many improve- ments within the team and they are happy with that. Lucy Suarez (19) says, “My favorite moment was the tournament because we were all together having fun and we also thought we were going to lose”. But they didn’t. Way to go Panthers! Volleyball The Lady Panthers Volleyball team is doing a phenomenal job at being the team to beat this 2018 season. This season these ladies have gone 25-4 and are tied for first in league with an outstanding record of 6-1 against Pitman High. These girls have worked extremely hard for a season like this. Tori Galloway says (19), “I am so proud of how far we have come over the past four years because no one deserves this more than we do.

It started as a back-and-forth run from “O” Street to “G” Street that happened every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Later, 10th Street became a one-way street and a loop was formed at 10th Street, “G” Street, 11th Street and "nally to “O” Street where Burge’s Drive-In would anchor the turn-around.

  • The Show Must Go on Modesto High Continues to Adjust to the Challenges Brought on by the Pandemic
    The Show Must go On Modesto High continues to adjust to the challenges brought on by the pandemic. Schools Reopening: Our Path Forward After almost an entire semester of distance learning, many students, teachers, and parents are eager for schools to reopen for in-person learning. In fact, according to a district survey, 66.75% of grade 7-12 parents said they would send their student back to school if MCS is able to safely transition back to in-person learning. Howev- er, with new cases of the Coronavirus surging, the question remains of how the district will be able to reopen schools while maintaining public health and safety. The school district has been meticulously work- ing on a plan to fulfill students’ and parents’ desires to reopen schools, while keeping safety at the forefront of their decision-making pro- cess. At the board meeting on November ninth, Modesto City Schools approved the “7-12 Safe Schools Reopening Plan.” According to the plan, students will be divided into two cohorts, groups A and B, which will attend in-person classes on different days. The district will also focus on enforcing mask-wearing and sanitizing practices during school hours. Carson Carranza, the Student Representative to the Board, supported the decision, stating that, “The longer we stay in distance learning, the more students are going to fall behind… these numbers keep slipping.” He elaborated by bring- ing attention to the fact that failing grades have nearly doubled during distance learning. Currently, grades TK-6 have already returned to in-person learning, which has proved to be suc- cessful thus far.
