SV/SLV teams head to CCS play

As February draws to a close, several teams from Scotts Valley and San Lorenzo Valley high schools are headed to playoff competition in the Central Coast Section.
Scotts Valley Girls’ Soccer
The No. 2-seeded Falcon girls automatically qualified for the CCS Division III quarterfinals with their second-place run in the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League play, which ended last Thursday with a 2-0 loss to first-place Aptos High.
Scotts Valley will play Sacred Heart Cathedral on Saturday, Feb. 28, but will do so without their leading scorer, SCCAL All-League Offensive Player of the Year Brittany Cartee, who was lost to a knee injury in last week’s game against Aptos.
“It’s just one game, we’re just going to have to play our best ball,” said Head Coach Art Munoz. “Everybody’s going to have to step their game up and we’ll be fine.”
