Anglers off Pajaro caught sea bass to 60 pounds, while some are still being caught off Monterey and Half Moon Bay.

Head Coach Dave Poetzinger returns for another season of leading the Cougars’ football team. For 20 years, Poetzinger was the right-hand man of retired coach Doug Morris. During that era, the Cougars won the numerous Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League’s football titles and made high rounds of CCS tournament. Some refer to that time as the ‘glory years’ for the Cougars. Last year, SLVHS returned to the CCS playoffs for the first time since 2010, with 8-3 overall, 4-1 league record and Poetzinger was voted league's Coach of the Year.
