JV football team wins city title After going undefeated in preseason action, the 5-0 junior varsity football team had thoughts of going with- out a loss all season. West Yosemite League action began on the right note with a come- from-behind victory over cross-town rival Redwood High School. But the win streak stopped there and the team had to settle for a 2-3 WYL record. The two wins, however, came against Redwood and Mt. Whitney High Schools, giving the junior varsity Trailblazers the city champion- ship. Adam Valencia earned the Most Valuable Player award and shared the captain title with Shane Minugh.
