Nearly 20 years ago, when San Lorenzo Valley and Harbor High football teams squared off to decide the league championship under the lights at the Harbor field in Santa Cruz, there were cheering fans, missed opportunities, fumbles and lots of rain and mud.

As the fog lifted early Sunday morning, swimmers gathered at Cowell's Beach for the 2016 Cruise-Cruz.

The San Lorenzo Valley Cougars boys golf team had a split week, topping Soquel at home on April 22 at the Boulder Creek Golf and Country Club, and facing a tough Aptos team on April 26 on its home Seascape Golf Course.

The San Lorenzo Valley Boys Golf Team won two matches yesterday at Boulder Creek Golf Club, defeating the Santa Cruz High Cardinals and the Sharks of St. Francis.

On Friday the Falcons and Cougars squared off in their annual Dual in the Pool. Both teams train at the SLVHS facility and know it very well — which usually gives rise to some fast swims and a fun, competitive meet. This year did not disappoint.

There was never any doubt that the Scotts Valley Girls’ Basketball team would qualify for the Central Coast Section playoffs this year. After all, the Falcons cruised through Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League play undefeated (12-0) for the third straight year and beat Soquel in the SCCAL post-season tournament championship game.

On Tuesday, February 24, at the Boulder Creek Golf and Country Club, Mark Mercer, Athletic Director at San Lorenzo Valley High School and Head Golf Coach, made his first ever hole-in-one.
