Alumni battle it out to win three out of four contests at Alumni Sports Day
An annual tradition, Alumni Sports Day is the perfect mix of competition and camaraderie. Spectators who like to root for the Rebels might find themselves confused. Who do you root for when everyone’s basically on the same team?
“The alumni—always root for the alumni,” says Athletic Director Alex Rivera. “It’s their day!”
And they had a great day, overall winning three out of four contests (Coed Soccer 6-1, Coed Water Polo 11-10, and Girls’ Basketball 44-34). Highlights from the games included the shootout against the varsity water polo team, who just went to CIF for the first time in five years, and the fact that the Varsity boys’ basketball team, defending its CIF title, appropriately mopped up the floor with the alumni (118-91).
Good news if it’s been a while since graduation – in a matchup of youth versus experience, experience typically wins out. Which reminds us – has it been a while since you participated in Alumni Sports Day? Why not pencil it on your calendar for next December?
