Sadly, Christian Brothers lost.

Christian Brothers beat Del Oro High School Tuesday night in 3 sets.

Thais, Lenin, and I went to Sophia’s playoff game. Christian Brothers beat Rio Americano High School.

I hope Halloween was a big treat for all of you!

Playoffs: Christian Brothers beat Armijo High School from Fairfield on Tuesday night.

While Avery played in the playoffs at Jesuit, Carson played in the playoffs at Christian Brothers.

Last home game of the season.

Leo is a freshman at Jesuit, Lauren is a freshman at University of Nevada Reno, Brooklyn is in 2nd grade at St Francis of Assisi.
