Laguna Beach, CA — These beach schools are not friendly to us! At least this time we rode the wave right up to the end and were "Hangin' Ten', smiling big, before crashing into the surf. Brady Schaefgen upset Laguna's #1 player, then disposed of their #2 player in another close set, but had a tough loss at line#3. Zach Champine defeated their 2 and 3 lines , but fell to line #1, 4-6 in round 3. Gary Davidson, with Joe Bond, at #1 dubs also disposed of the Waves 1 and 2 teams, but, lost a close round 3 to the #3 team. Aiden German and Hudson Aase took care of their line 2 and 3 duo opponents , but came up short vs. Beach's top team. "I have never had this happen to any of our teams here, boys or girls", says KOach, "So, we chalk it up as a learning experience for ALL of us. There is a art to closing out matches that can only be learned through exerience along with maturity. This group has not experienced this and need to mature." Hopefully, the Lions can regroup for our league home opener this Thursday vs SMargarita. Since Thursday won't be an 'approved' senior ditch day, the Lions should be back at full strength. GO LIONS
