West Coast Soccer Success in the GA League<br />
Submitted by Adaurie Dayak<br />
This past weekend Mountain House’s local soccer<br />
club, West Coast Soccer, traveled to Fresno to play<br />
in a six game GA league fixture coming away with<br />
good results with 3 wins, 1 loss and 2 draws.<br />
The age groups that compete in the National Girls<br />
Academy League are U13-U19 Girls. The age<br />
groups are designated by their birth years. West<br />
Coast 2011’s won 7-0, the 2010’s tied 0-0, the 2009’s<br />
lost 0-3, the 2008’s won 2-1, the 2007’s won 4-1, and<br />
the 2006/5’s tied 3-3. Half way through the fall GA<br />
league play West Coast Soccer has three age groups<br />
(2010, 2008 & 2007) that are currently undefeated<br />
while 2011 and 2007 have only lost one game.<br />
West Coast Director Troy Dayak commented “We<br />
are very happy with the results thus far, the girls<br />
are developing nicely, having success and fun<br />
playing the sport. Last weekend we had three local<br />
NCAA College Coaches on our sideline watching<br />
our players. Fresno State, Fresno Pacific and CSU<br />
Bakersfield attended the games and the weekend<br />
prior UC Berkeleys head coach and SF State head<br />
coach came to recruit West Coast Soccer players.”<br />
Last weekend West Coast Soccer Club hosted Santa<br />
Clara Sporting in the Girls Academy (GA) fixture.<br />
2010 and 2007 GA age group teams started of the<br />
day side by side at 9:00am. The end result for the<br />
2007s was a 2-0 victory with goals scored by local<br />
player (Mountain House HS) Jayden Rynolds and<br />
Isabella Tognolini scored the second and sealed the<br />
2-0 shutout. The 2010s tied 1-1 with Skylar Burford<br />
scoring the equalizer.<br />
The second fixture games were the 2008 and 2011<br />
GA teams. The 2008s won their game 2-1 with Aliya<br />
Lopez and Elise Trevino being the goal scorers. And<br />
the 2011s had an astounding victory of 7-0 with<br />
goals scored by Adisyn Quadros (3), Capri Spycher<br />
(2), Mila Apodaca (1), and Diana Real (1). The final<br />
GA Fixture games of the day were for the 2009s and<br />
2006/05s. The 2009s won their game 4-0 with the<br />
goal scorers being Makayla Nenonene (2), Madelynn<br />
Hernandez, and Yazmin Karcher. The 2006s<br />
earned a 2-0 victory with goals scored by Hayden<br />
Crotty Romero and Olivia Maragos, leaving West<br />

Anthony Hicks Earns His Eagle Scout Award!<br />
“We have an Eagle in the house!,” posted proud mom and scouting leader, Kim Hicks. “Anthony passed<br />
his board of review September 7 and officially earned his Eagle Scout award.”<br />
14 year old Anthony’s Eagle project was an 8x8 sandbox on the kindergarten yard at Bethany School.<br />
Anthony planned and oversaw the project. He is the 3rd Eagle Scout from an MH troop. It’s rare in the<br />
scouting world to see a young<br />
person reach this crown of<br />
achievement at Anthony’s age.<br />
“To say we are proud is an understatement,”<br />
Kim continued.<br />
“The amount of sweat, grit,<br />
determination, tears, joy and<br />
blood this boy put into getting<br />
here can only be diminished<br />
by putting it into words. The<br />
journey is not over…once an<br />
Eagle, always an Eagle,” she<br />
stated flatly.<br />
Mrs. Hicks serves the Scouting<br />
community at a high level,<br />
along with her husband, Ryan.<br />
She is the Chief Operating Officer<br />
at Mountain House Scouting<br />
Foundation.<br />
As part of Troop 511, she says,<br />
“Anthony will continue to mentor<br />
younger Scouts and help his<br />
troop-mates join him in the nest!<br />
MH Rotary Named Small Club of the Year<br />
The Mountain House Rotary Club held their second<br />
annual Bowling Tournament Sunday, September<br />
17, 2023 at West Valley Bowl in Tracy.<br />
The event was a fund raiser to help the victims of<br />
the Lahaina fire storm. 16 teams came together,<br />
playing a total of three games each. For the most<br />
part it was just a fun afternoon of entertainment.<br />
But, for the winners, it was game on!<br />
Numbers are still being tallied for the donation.<br />
Folks may still contribute to the fund, but going<br />
to RotaryMH.org.<br />
While at the bowling alley, club members learned<br />
that the Rotary Club of Mountain House was<br />
named “Small Club of The Year” at the district<br />
conference the week prior. A big feather in the<br />
cap for a growing group of do-gooders.<br />
“The Bro-lers” took first place in the bowling tourney<br />
“What the Hell” took second place<br />
