Graduation, the day that every senior has dreamed about since the first day that he or she stepped foot on campus, is less than a month away. However, seniors can still be prevented from graduating if they don’t follow school rules.

The no-hope-for-CCS Falcons have piled up a 10-0 record in league. The team attributes its success not only to the skill of its individuals but also to the cohesiveness of the unit.

Some would say that there is little pressure on the boys’ varsity tennis team this year. After all, they will not be competing for the CCS title as a result of the team’s suspension for failing to appear at NorCals last year. However, doubts are now surfacing as a result of the boys’ second place finish at the Fresno Tournament. The team lost a tough match 4-3 to Monte Vista, but defeated Palo Alto. Palo Alto in turn beat Monte Vista, leading to a three-way tie, broken by counting the number of individual matches each team lost.

During those 10 straight weeks at the beginning of the school year, when there are no days off, the only thing that keeps students motivated is the presence of the Veterans Day holiday on Nov. 11.

Senior pitcher Blake Paisley will graduate in June, but he doesn’t plan on leaving his baseball career behind. Paisley plans to play for Willamette University in Salem, Ore. “I really like the coach up there since he knows a lot about baseball,” said Paisley. “I am also getting a 40 percent scholarship, which is always good.”

The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the insights of an aspiring poet, and a highly artistic and captivated audience paint the scene of a contemporary coffee shop. Saratoga High students will be able to experience this one of a kind scene during Coffeehouse on May 19. Hosted by senior drama 4 students Kristen Gochnauer and James Knight, Coffeehouse is an open microphone show where attendees can perform skits, poetry songs and more. The event will take place in the Little Theatre and is open to all students.

This year’s boys’ varsity tennis team has proved unstoppable. As of March 28, they remain undefeated. Especially dominant have been the team’s singles players. In fact, No. 1 singles player John Lamble is leading the impressive squad with an impressive undefeated record and has not even dropped a set. Lamble, who has been playing since he was 5 years old, is currently ranked 55th in the nation in the under 18’s division at only 15 years old. His consistent effort and work ethic are an inspiration to the team.
