Th e girls basketball team had a solid year going 17-11 overall and 9-3 in league. Th e Bears won CCS and their season ultimately ended with a tough loss in NorCal against LickWilmerding. “My favorite sports moment for the girls basketball team this year was winning the CCS Division 1 Championship. Th e girls worked so hard throughout the year and it was a special moment for everyone involved. My fi rst year coaching this team was very rewarding. I enjoyed the journey and daily practices with the team throughout the entire season.” - Coach Steve Yob Th e boys soccer team had a solid season, going 10-8-5 overall and 9-3-2 in league. Th e season ended with a 1-0 loss against Las Lomas in NorCals. “Th e quarterfi nal game versus Sacred Heart Cathedral was defi nitely the highlight of the season. I have never been a part of anything like it! It was our best game this season versus the best team in CCS, in my opinion. 4:4 in regulations, 5:5 after overtime and winning on the last penalty kick...can’t get better than that. Unfortunately, that game took everything out of us both physically and defi nitely emotionally. We just couldn’t bounce back from it, but what a game that everyone who was involved will remember.” - Coach Leo Krupnik Th e Bears volleyball team had a successful year going 26-7 and 13-1 in league. Th e season came to an end with a 3-1 loss against Campolindo in the NorCal Championship. “Th e best moment this season was defeating Clovis West in three sets in the NorCal Semifi nals. A majority of the girls on the team this year were on the team two years ago when we had a losing record and placed last in league, so to see our hard work over the last couple seasons pay off this way was extremely rewarding. As a senior, this game was also special because I knew it was the last one I would ever play in Ayers gym. Th e team had such a large and enthusiastic crowd supporting us and I am so grateful I was able to fi nish off my high school volleyball career in Ayers gym with a win. Th is season was long and tiring but I am proud of how the team focused on our goal of making the NorCal championship and were relentless in making it happen.” - Marit Hoyem 32
