Played in my last battle of the beach on Saturday against the top competition in Cali! Grateful for everyone in our program that makes the event possible. Made the semis with wins over Cathedral Catholic, Tustin, Millikan, and Capo Valley before a tough 1 point loss to Centennial

Congrats on a great run!

👀Girls golf: Congrats to @SMCHSEagles reppin' Cali and rolling to the title at the Girls High School Golf National Invitational at historic Pinehurst in North Carolina, Eagles also won the tourney in Texas in '24

Didn’t get the results we wanted @BATB7v7, but we learned a lot. Lost 3 games in the final 20 seconds—every game was there for the taking. First time since track season we’ve had our full offense together, and I’m excited about where we’re headed. The goal isn’t winning 7v7 tournaments—it’s being ready when the pads come on. Proud of my guys. We’ll keep stacking days. Excited for what’s ahead and ready to compete in the toughest league in the country. ⏳🏈 @GarretsonRick @ServiteFootball @coach_hadac @CoachReyes_ @ocvarsityguy @latsondheimer @GregBiggins @ChadSimmons_ @adamgorney @BrandonHuffman @BlairAngulo @Stumpf_Brian @Hayesfawcett3 #AGTG #2028QB #BuiltNotBorn #Credo
