Champions<br />
Congratulations to the SHP Boys Tennis Team on<br />
winning the NHSCA National High School Boys<br />
Team Tennis Crown. The NHSCA (National High<br />
School Coaches Association) designed this new tournament<br />
to determine “Who is America’s Best Boys High<br />
School Tennis Team?” They invited 32 teams across<br />
the country to play (eight teams from four regions).<br />
After winning the Western regional championship<br />
on March 23-24, the SHP team went on to the national<br />
competition, held April 21-22 in Cincinnati, OH.<br />
SHP defeated Dr. Michael Krop Senior High School<br />
of Florida, The Bullis School of Maryland, and St.<br />
Xavier High School of Ohio to bring home the championship.<br />
Our Scholarly Athletes<br />
The Girls’ Lacrosse team has come a long way this year, led by Head Coach<br />
Brandon Badgley and Assistant Coaches Ron Cox and Pati Galvin (SHP Spanish<br />
teacher). They set a new school record with ten wins, and ended the season<br />
with a best-ever third place finish in the Peninsula Athletic League.<br />
To top it all off, they won the prestigious CCS Scholastic Team Award. This<br />
award, instituted by the Central Coast Section Board of Managers, recognizes the<br />
Varsity team from each CCS athletic program with the highest collective grade<br />
point average of all<br />
teams competing in<br />
that program during<br />
that season of competition.<br />
Our Gator girls<br />
had a cumulative GPA<br />
average of 3.51.<br />

Team USA<br />
This year two SHP water polo players<br />
were named to the USA National Teams:<br />
Caroline (KK) Clark and Paul Rudolph. Only<br />
15 players from the entire country are chosen<br />
for each age group— KK is on the Youth<br />
Team and Paul is on the Cadet Team. They<br />
will both be traveling around the world representing<br />
Team USA in the coming months.<br />
KK is the first SHP girl ever to be selected<br />
for a national team, while Paul is following<br />
in the illustrious footsteps of Dylan Mobley<br />
(SHP ‘05).<br />
Powder Puff!<br />
The 22 eighth-grade girls on the SJSH Flag Football<br />
team emerged victorious from the sixth annual<br />
Powder Puff game against Menlo in June. Our girls<br />
dominated Menlo with a score of 33 to 19. This year’s<br />
game put our SJSH Girls Football record at 4-2.<br />
The team’s great coaching staff included SJSH<br />
past parents Bill Campbell, Mike Moe, Mark Flynn,<br />
and Gary Graumann, along with Pat Dillingham<br />
(SJSH ‘97). The coaches and players trained hard<br />
for the two weeks leading up to the big game.<br />
