Nice. Are they mixed teams ?

#1 could have used some more ball in the picture.

nice shots Gary - I like the header!

re the mixed teams... at least Temecula Prep is mixed. They are a small charter school with maybe 200-400 students. In schools of that size, it may be difficult to pull together a full roster for 11 v 11 soccer (especially if they also have teams for bb), so they may play co-ed.

My son's school usually plays against them and I was surprised to see these pictures b/c I didn't think they had managed to pull together a team this year (I looked b/c they weren't on our schedule like usual and last year we played them 4 times!). Last year they had a terrible season (didn't look like they did much better this year...) and given the school size (at least at ours, but we're really small w/ only 120 high school students) the interest can ebb and fall.

Temecula is certainly coed ... Whitney is not.

I like the Gestalt feel of #1.

Thanks Colleen. This was a CIF playoff game ... so I guess Temecula did pretty good this year. Whitney is also pretty small. Whitney is rated academically, (by testing), as the #1 public high school in California and, per US News and World Report, #3 in the nation.

don't know how TP made CIF playoffs; they were 3-9-0 this season... (oh, I just looked a bit more closely, they were 3-3 for their conference; looked to be an easy win for Whitney).

Whitney sounds like a pretty cool school!

It was rather one-sided. WHS quickly scored 4 unanswered goals ... so for three-quarters of the match WHS's goalie played striker et cetera. (He's the tall one heading the ball #3.)

Whitney is a very special place. I find that a strong principal running the school makes a superior environment for learning than a weak principal allowing the teachers to run the school. WHS has more students at our military academies (West Point, Annapolis, et cetera) than another other high school in the US. Every year a kid goes to an academy ... last year three were accepted at West Point. 2008-2009 school WHS earned more than $8 million in scholarships.
