Spring Valley was reinstated into the next round of Playoffs, the state quarter finals. Occurring on Friday, November 5th at Silverado High School at 6 p.m. 

“Our boys were extremely excited to have one more shot gifted to us,” says Senior Varsity Captain Carlos Reza. “It’s a lot of pressure riding on everyone to finally prove we aren’t just the doormat. Spring Valley is here to stay for coming years, we’ve tasted defeat, it’s time to taste victory.”

After the announcement, Varsity players who stayed after school were ecstatic to gather their belongings and return them to their lockers. Pads and equipment was distributed back to players and coaches are to return the remaining belongings to players tomorrow, before their returning practice.
