The Ukiah High News team would like to congratulate Junior Nicole Muniz and Senior Maritza Jacobs, the dynamic single players of the UHS Tennis team. The duo participated and won 3rd place in the annual doubles tournament at Santa Rosa Junior College on November 1st and 2nd.
Aaron O’Brien grew up in Ukiah and told us he wanted to return home. He noticed an open athletic director position at Ukiah High School and jumped at the opportunity.
For the first time in many years, Ukiah High School has a Junior Varsity Cheer Team. UHS News spoke with a few members of the squad and the coaching staff about bringing the team back to life.
Ukiah High Student Teran Iowa Upchurch was in the crowd and said, “One of the most fun and exhilarating sports games I have ever watched. Can't wait to see the water polo team play in the future!”
As a team we demonstrate our effort by hustling after every ball. We show "team-ness" through the communication on the court and the cheering on the bench. Everyone has their role and contributes to the team and that is evident by the positive and competitive attitudes demonstrated by all members of the team.”
UHS News would like to acknowledge Sophia Dunnicliff on the Varsity team, for her powerful hits that led to many kills and points in the game. We would also like to acknowledge Josie Woldemar who is one of the liberos on the Varsity team for her digs and passes at Friday night’s game.
