What’s up with the weather?
What in the heck is going on with our weather? Where is the
cool, fall weather and where oh where is the rain? It’s pretty hard
to get into the holiday spirit when it’s 90 degrees outside.
Hopefully things will change this week and we’ll get back into a
fall weather pattern.

There was some great football action in King City last week. The girls took to the field last Thursday night in the annual Powder puff game. Some of those from South County taking in the action included J.W. and Candace Brewen and their girls, and Jim and Betty Barrington. The sophomore/junior team was the big winner against the freshmen/senior team this year. The final score was 20-0. Touchdowns were made by Brooke Tavernetti and Mackenzie Salcido and an interception was made by Sierra Jo Sans. The game was very entertaining, but the cheerleaders were almost as entertaining as the girls! Anytime a football player dresses as and tries to be a cheerleader, you can’t help but laugh. The boys did a good job and definitely entertained the crowd.
The KCHS varsity football team ended its season on Friday night with a huge win against Gonzales. Rory Johnsen had an outstanding game as he had three interceptions and ran one back 93 yards for a touchdown. It was such a great play that it even made the highlights on the 11 p.m. news on Channel 8. What a way to end your senior year Rory. We’re proud of you!
Saturday afternoon the KCHS girls’ basketball teams played in their first scrimmage of the season. The junior varsity played each other, while the varsity played a game against former KCHS alumni. Now that was entertaining and very competitive. It was such a good game and so entertaining, it should become a fundraiser next year. With a little advertisement, it would be a great crowd pleaser for the community. The alumni made a great game out of it but the Varsity girls ended up with the win with the final score of 51-54. Some of the alumni playing included Tamra Barrington (who was playing against daughter Mattie), Kanani Barbree, Wendy Davis, Teri Lugert, Nelli Alcantar and Audry Barbree. The alumni were very competitive as they even argued a few of the fouls being called against them, they definitely wanted the win against the younger girls. Tamra ended the game on a fine note by going up for a rebound and shooting for a basket, unfortunately it was at the wrong basket! It was a great game and one I will look forward to next year.

She won the team penning with cousins Taylor Jo Hurley and Sierra Jo Sans, and she won the calf branding with Rian Barth. Congratulations Alyssa!
