J.V. Baseball on Fire
By Ryan Eshoff

Even with the recent youth movement in the Valley Christian baseball family, the second-place finish by the freshmen team in 2005 came as somewhat of a surprise to those outside the program. In their J.V. season, the guys hope to ride last year’s momentum into another triumphant campaign.
Hoping to start off the year on the right foot, the Warriors traveled to Wilcox High School to take on the Chargers. Behind the solid pitching of sophomore Anthony Kupbens, and balanced hitting that knocked five doubles, the boys shut out Wilcox 5-0. On March 4, the team hosted West High School. The Warrior bats caught fire early and poured it on in victory, coming out triumphant 13-3. Kupbens pitched his way to a second consecutive win, while the impressive offensive showing was led by a three-run home run off the bat of sophomore Kyle Smith. The next test for VC was the De La Salle Spartans, one of the top teams in the state. Showing they deserved their high ranking, De La Salle clubbed a pair of home runs en route to an 11-0 victory.
According to sophomore Todd Grilli, the guys “are having a great time together,” and he encourages everyone out there to “come and watch our games.”

Student Experiences the Grammys
For most students, February third was exciting simply because it marked the beginning of the weekend. Valley Christian junior Yuma Sung found the day exciting for other reasons.
Yuma was selected to play in the 2006 Grammy Trio as a pianist, an honor that few receive, let alone a sixteen year old. Staying in Los Angeles for ten days, Yuma had the opportunity to play with many famous Jazz musicians and experience the prestige of the awards show.
