Well, sports fans, they’ve come through turn four, heading down the last stretch with one week of games to play — Pacific Slope still up by two lengths with Ajax and Creekstone running close and Forest Lumber on their heels to stay in the money for Division 1 playoffs.

In Division 2, the second year Team Perez is beginning to stabilize into a steady group and getting its foundation strengthened to build on to compete well into the future with the more experienced teams. The new Idyllwild Arts team is patching some holes and will for sure do the same.

The young Ridgeline and Higher Grounds teams continue to come out and fight for games under determined leadership of their respective managers, Jess Wilkerson and T.J. Titus.

Adult Coed Soccer

In other sports news, adult “high speed” soccer is getting ready to go with six to eight teams ready to roll Aug. 23. There is still time to get in as individuals or bring seven and get into the action.

Youth soccer is taking signups to get ready for a September start also.

 

Adult Coed Basketball

And, something to think about if you’re a hoopster, November will bring a new look to basketball season with an adult 3-on-3 league. Wednesday evenings and Saturday days there will be separate men’s and women’s divisions.

For information on all or any of these subjects, call Richard at 909-241-2662.
