Reynoso Selected Christian League Most Valuable Player

Posted on May 30th, 2008

   Four year letterman and Senior Mark Reynoso capped off his high school baseball career with the highest honor the Christian League has to offer.  After leading his team to their second League Championship in three years Reynoso was unanimously voted the League’s Most Valuable Player.  This marked the third year in a row that he was given 1st Team All-League honors.  Reynoso was dominant throughout the 2008 season leading the Christian League in batting average (.563), home runs (8), runs batted in (45), hits (45), and slugging percentage (1.138).  He was second in the league in on base percentage (.617) and strike outs as a pitcher (52).  Head Coach Mark Gabbard exclaimed, “I have never seen anyone who was such a hands down obvious candidate for this award.   He simply dominated the league and did so with a humble unassuming attitude.  He deserves every bit of it and more.” Read the rest of this entry »

Hyde Signs Letter of Intent to Hope International

Posted on May 22nd, 2008

Covina, CA On Wednesday May 7th, 2008 in the office of Principal David Meeker , Senior Aundrea Hyde signed a Letter of Intent to play collegiate basketball at Hope International University in Fullerton.  As a Senior at Western Christian Hyde led the Christian League in scoring with 15.9 points per game; the second place scorer averaged a full four points less.  Hyde ended up 3rd on the list in rebounds at 9.5, but her greatest accomplishment was the respect that she commanded from the other teams who selected her as the Christian League Most Valuable Player.  This award is typically given to a player on the team who finishes first or possibly an individual from the league runner-up.  Head Coach Adam Bartholomew’s Lancers finished 5th in league this year, yet he managed to garnish another League MVP for Western Christian’s history books.
