PANTHERS ON TOP IN GIRLS SOCCER
The AAA Middle School Girls Soccer title match was held January 17 at Washington HS with Presidio shutting out Giannini 4-0. The Panthers opened the scoring with a goal in first half stoppage time by Jasmine Leshnick. It was the first shot on goal for Presidio and seemed to light a spark in the Richmond District squad. They came out firing after the break, tallying three more goals on eleven shots. Two scores came from the foot of Chloe Hudson, with Sydney Scott netting the fourth goal. The victory earned the Panthers their third straight title and fourth overall. Unfortunately for Giannini, they weren't able to provide a victory for their retiring coach and athletic director Klaus Waiblinger, who completes his 34th year with the SFUSD. But a runner up spot is not too shabby! Congratulations to both teams on a hard fought match and overall successful seasons! |

GIANNINI COMPLETES UNDEFEATED HOOPS SEASON
The AAA Middle School Boys Basketball championship was held December 12 at Kezar Pavilion with Giannini besting Aptos 68-52. The first half was a real tightly contested battle with the Tigers holding a slim two point lead at the break. The Jaguars, however, upped their game in the third quarter outscoring their opponent 26-10, breaking the game wide open and ultimately the hearts of the Aptos squad. Jeremyah May-Aquino lead the way for Giannini with 22 points with his twin brother Justin chipping in 11. The Jaguar win gives them back-to-back titles and their seventh overall championship. Congratulations to both schools on very successful seasons! |

EVERETT ON TOP IN BOYS SOCCER
The AAA Middle School Boys Soccer final was held October 20 at Boxer Stadium with Everett besting Visitacion Valley 4-1. Both teams tallied one goal in a hard fought first half (Brandon Giron of Vis. Valley and Andy Fuentes of Everett). After the break, Everett came out on fire with a quick goal in the 33rd minute (Michael Garcia). Unfortunately the larger pitch and a small Falcon roster combined with the fresh legs and frequent substitutes of the Owls wore down the Vis. Valley squad, allowing Everett to push across two addition goals in the 52nd minute (Josue Francisco) and 59th minute (Andy Fuentes) to seal the victory. The title is the second in four years for the Owls and sixth overall. Congratulations to both schools on putting out a full effort on the field and for very successful seasons overall. |

BASEBALL TITLE GOES TO THE PANTHERS
The AAA Middle School Baseball championship was held October 18 at Moscone Park's Hennessey Field with Presidio slipping past Aptos 1-0. The game was scoreless through five and a half innings with only one hit being recorded by the Tigers Ewan Hadley. In the bottom of the sixth, Presidio finally ended the no hit bid of Aptos hurler Nicholas Katz with a Frank Zapata solid single. That hit would, a few batters later, become the only run of the game when Zapata hustled home from third after a dropped third strike throw out at first base. The Panther's Devon Benningfield, who came on in relief of starting pitcher Peter Swenson-Heim in the sixth, quickly dispatched the three Tiger batters in the top of the seventh to complete the one hit shutout and bring the champions trophy back to the Richmond District school. Congratulations to Presidio on their victory and to both teams on a well played error-less game and very successful seasons overall! |

FRANCISCO EARNS SOFTBALL TITLE
In what proved to be one of the classics of all time, Francisco battled back twice in extra innings to defeat Giannini 16-15 in the title game held October 11 at Lang Field. After jumping out to an early 7-0 lead, the Rams let the Jaguars back in the game with five errors in the fourth and fifth innings allowing the visitors to cut the lead to 7-6. Francisco plated two more runs in the bottom of the fifth to increase their advantage, however the Jaguars brought home three runs in their half of the sixth to tie the game at nine. Neither team scored in the seventh, so it was off to extra innings. It was still deadlocked at nine heading to the ninth inning when Giannini broke through for four runs. The Rams fought back though and scored four of their own in the bottom of the ninth to tie the score once again at 13-13, and the game continued. The Jaguars again took the lead in the top of the tenth with two runs giving them a 15-13 lead. But Francisco would not be denied as they came back to score three runs in the bottom of the tenth to walk off a winner 16-15. The victory completed an undefeated season for the Rams and brought the North Beach school their first ever Softball title! Congratulations to Francisco on their hard fought championship and to the Jaguars as well for giving it their all and battling to the end. |
