REVHS Commences Soccer TryoutsBy JESSICA VANDERWOOD and AREYANNA CANDELERIA
Last week Redlands East Valley held boys soccer tryouts at the AYSO fields. Tryouts are grueling and nerve wracking. They consisted of drills, scrimmages, and sprints. Each of these tasks showed the strengths and weaknesses of each individual player. The players that tried out included upperclassmen, underclassmen, and transfers from other schools. Cooper Lindfelt, a freshman center midfielder that recently made varsity, said one of his strengths during tryouts was his ball control which helped during the difficult tryouts. Jesus Mora, a junior center back returning to varsity explained that the hardest part for him was his spot not being secured or guaranteed. Jacob Urbano, a junior center midfielder and transfer from Cajon, recently made varsity as well. Jacob said the hardest part about tryouts was coming from a new school and having to fight for his spot on the team. Many of the players found tryouts to be strenuous but well worth it. Tryouts came to an end by announcing the freshman, junior varsity, and varsity soccer teams for the 2016-2017 school year. Citrus Varsity Basketball Has High HopesBy ANTHONY MAURICIO

REV Cross Country Advances to CIFBy LEA CLARK
Cross Country is a sport that is often confused with Track, for the reason that, “It’s running, it's all the same…” etc., but unknown to many, the training put into Cross Country requires far more endurance, is more volume based, and especially more scenic than Track. In Cross Country, the top runners will race a three mile course in hopes to be able to compete at the next level. Cross Country is scored by the first five runners on a team to cross the finish line, with the sixth person as a tie-breaker. The lower the score, the better; a perfect score is fifteen points. Eli Opsahl shared his thoughts on the current season and his performance so far... |
