Board honors district winter champions, sends teams to NorCal and state finals
Summary
Salinas Union High trustees recognized multiple winter-season league champions and individual athletes across wrestling, basketball and soccer; coaches praised student achievements and several teams advance to NorCal/state-level competition.
Trustees at the March 10 Salinas Union High School District meeting formally recognized winter-season league champions and outstanding athletes from schools across the district.
Coaches and principals highlighted undefeated seasons, CCS and NorCal placings and exceptional academic performance by athletes. Coach Ralph Bozzo of Salinas High praised his girls soccer team’s combination of athletic and academic success, noting a team GPA of 3.8 and senior leaders who had not lost a county match in recent years. The board read resolutions naming rosters and coaching staffs for the honored teams and presented them with certificates.
Notable recognition included Everett Alvarez boys claiming back‑to‑back Division 1 NorCal titles and qualifying for the first-ever state championship match for high-school soccer between NorCal and SoCal teams, and Alisal/Salinas teams reporting individual champions at CCS.
Why it matters: trustees said these recognitions underscore athletics’ role in community building and student development. Board members encouraged community support for teams traveling to state competitions and noted district transportation plans for supporters.
Next steps: the board took photos with teams, approved resolutions honoring the rosters, and encouraged staff to continue supporting athletics and related facilities projects.
