South Pasadena Sports

Last year on this Memorial Day weekend, we attended the CIF Southern Section Boys Volleyball championship match at Cypress College. South Pasadena was in the finals for the first time ever, but they lost in a very exciting match.

This year, the South Pasadena High School Boys Volleyball team did not make it out of the first round. Two weeks ago, they played the Mayfair Monsoons. After losing the first game, South Pasadena came back to win the second game. The third game was very exciting, but South Pasadena made too many unforced errors, and lost 29-27, after being ahead 24-21. This loss seemed to take the wind out of the Tigers' sails, and they went on to lose the fourth game. End of playoffs. End of season. There's always next year.

A week ago, the South Pasadena High School Boys Soccer team held its end of the season banquet. Both JV and Varsity players attended, and after a fine meal from Charlie's Trio, the coach presented some awards. Mark received an award for Best Defender. He also was surprised to find that he had been named as an Honorable Mention All League Defender for the Rio Hondo League. Nice job, son!
