No seniors? No problem. The MacDonald Condors first-year varsity softball program delivered an impressive performance Wednesday, April 2. Despite no senior class, the Condors traveled into hostile Fremont Firebirds territory and doubled up the Firebirds to the tune of a 12-6 victory.

The Condors battled back from some early adversity as the team fell behind 3-1 after the first inning. Junior pitcher Ileyah Sanchez settled down on the mound, and her catcher Kyleena Stone delivered the biggest hit of the afternoon. Stone’s two-out, two-run double in the second pushed the Condors’ lead to 6-3.

“That first inning could have gotten out of hand and it has for us in the past, but I told these girls just get one out at a time,” remarked MacDonald Manager Daniel Sanchez. “I knew if we held them to three, we would have a chance and we did just that. Gotta give these girls credit, they hung in there.”

“The first inning, I was a little scared because I know some people on that team, I’ve played with them before,” acknowledged Sanchez. “Once I got those first three outs, I was able to settle in a lot more and my defense did really well behind me.”

“Her being able to let that first inning go was great,” chimed Stone on her batterymate’s effective short-term memory. “We know what we can do, and we know that wasn’t our best. So, we all kind of had that attitude and just kept pushing.”

It’s still early in the high school baseball season, but Tuesday, March 18, was the setting of a big battle between the Fremont Firebirds and Santa Clara Bruins baseball teams. The winner would take sole control of first place in the El Camino division.

Fremont entered the afternoon 4-0 in league and 6-2 overall. Santa Clara, meanwhile, carried a record of 6-1 overall and 3-0 in league. It had all the makings of a clash of the Titans.

First place on the line, and in the very first inning, both teams showed their best selves. Fremont started ace lefty Tyler Gray on the mound, and his pitches were hitting their spots perfectly, except one.

Andrew Traffas, arguably the Bruins’ biggest star, launched a high fastball to his pull side over the right-field fence for a home run. It was a left-on-left moonshot, a rarity in Major League Baseball, much less high school ball.

1979 was the year Joe Montana was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers. Star Wars: A New Hope was released in theaters in 1977. The Golden State Warriors won their first NBA Championship as a Bay Area franchise in 1975. All of these things happened after Fremont’s Miguel Castillo began coaching high school basketball.

The Fremont Firebirds wrestling program has annually been one of the top teams in the Central Coast Section. Fremont has maintained a top-5 finish in the CCS year after year.

And it’s not just the boys getting it done; Fremont has had one of the strongest complements of girls wrestling each season. Back in 2018 and 2019, Melissa Lee finished first in CCS in her weight class. And this year, for the first time in many years, the Firebirds have a returning state placer in Aila Duus.

Here are 10 tips for parents of kids new to organized sports.

The temperature is steadily decreasing and days are getting shorter; fall sports at FHS are coming to an end. Winter brings five teams across three different sports. The fields at FHS are starting to clear up for boys’ and girls’ soccer tryouts, volleyball nets are being taken down to make way for boys’ and girls’ basketball, and the wrestling team is training in the weight room to prepare for the upcoming season.

As the air gets colder, the excitement of fall sports is still lingering. This fall season kicked off the FHS school year with its teams and sportsmanship. The season consists of eight sports: football, cheerleading, field hockey, volleyball, tennis, cross country, waterpolo and dance. Several teams have celebrated significant wins, while others grew from tough losses.

The Fremont Firebirds varsity volleyball squad earned some revenge with an impressive straight-sets win over the Santa Clara Bruins on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Back on Sept. 23, the Firebirds fell to Santa Clara in a grueling five-set marathon. In the rematch on their home court, though, the Firebirds managed to make quick work of the Bruins, winning 25-22, 25-17, 25-17.

To say Friday night’s matchup between the Fremont Firebirds and Westmont Warriors wasn’t the cleanest football game would certainly be an understatement. Neither team will likely use much of the game tape in season highlight reels, except perhaps for the video of Fremont wide receiver Isaac Garcia’s dazzling one-handed catch midway through the fourth quarter.
