Historic Fall Teams

The SPHS Tigers have been on a roll like no other this fall playoff season, and we are thrilled to share more updates as our teams achieve incredible success in the CIF playoffs! It’s a great time to be a Tiger, and we have some exciting events coming up for our student-athletes.

Yours in sports,

CB Richards
Athletic Director

Girls Volleyball: CIF State Regional Champions! The Girls Volleyball team after a CIF semifinals run, has been on a red-hot streak, winning four straight games in the State Regional Division 4 Playoffs. Their victories over High Tech High, Chatsworth, Crossroads, and most recently, a thrilling 3-2 win over Walnut High on Tuesday night, have earned them the title of Southern Regional CIF State D4 Champions!

On Saturday, November 16, the Tigers faced a tough Crossroads team, trailing 2-0 in a best-of-five match. In an incredible comeback, the Tigers rallied to win the next three sets for a 3-2 victory. They faced another tough challenge on Tuesday against Walnut, again coming from behind after being down 2-1 in sets. In the final set, they found their rhythm and stayed focused to win the State Regional Championship with a 3-2 victory!

The Tigers now advance to the State Championship game where they will face Hilmar High School from Northern California. The match will take place on Saturday, November 23, at 11:00 a.m. at Santiago Canyon College in Orange County. Tickets are available at GoFan: https://gofan.co/event/1559201?schoolId=CIF. Let’s send our Tiger fans down to support the girls in this historic State championship game!

Boys Water Polo: CIF Champions and State Regional Semifinals! The Boys Water Polo team achieved an incredible feat by winning the CIF-SS Championship after a thrilling, back-and-forth final against Cate School. The game was tied 9-9 with just 10 seconds left, but a quick pass from the Tigers set up Kenta Fernandes for a last-second goal that sailed past the goalie to secure the 10-9 victory, marking the Tigers’ first CIF-SS championship in 30 years!

The boys then took their CIF champion team and advanced to the CIF State Regional Playoffs, where they defeated Granada Hills 16-13 in overtime on Tuesday. The Tigers will play in the State Regional Semifinals today, Thursday, November 21, at 5:00 p.m. against Palisades HS. If the Tigers win, they will return to the Mt. SAC pool on Saturday, November 23, at 4:30 p.m. for the CIF State Regional Championship. Tickets for today’s game are available here: https://gofan.co/event/2307134?schoolId=CIF.

Football: CIF Semifinals! The Varsity League Champion Football team picked up a hard-fought 34-31 victory over Valley View HS last Friday, advancing to the CIF-SS Semifinals. In a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback, the Tigers held off Valley View with dramatic scoring changes throughout the final period.

This Friday, November 22, at 7:00 p.m., the Tigers hit the road again to face Silverado HS in Victorville for a chance to play in the CIF Finals.
