ATHLETICS

Girls Varsity Basketball played in the West Coast Jamboree over winter break, playing all division 1 or 2 teams, and getting a win over a division 1 team. The team also attended a St Mary's Men's Basketball game and Stockton Kings basketball game, as well as watching a Butte Women's Basketball game to see former AHS player Maria Bautista play! Lady Cubs are 8-8 and Taylor Ford is #2 in the section at 19.7 points per game and #1 in the section at 16.7 rebounds per game.

The AUHS Boys Varsity Basketball had a great trip to The City. They spent two nights in Burlingame, played Marshall High and Wallenberg High of San Francisco, went to pier 39 and watched a St. Mary Gaels University Division 1 basketball game.

Wrestling had a busy couple of weeks over the winter break with the Women's West Coast TOC, The Zinken, Sierra Nevada Classic, Doc Buchanan, and our own Nor Cal Beast in the North Tournament. AUHS wrestlers were very competitive and had many place winners from these tournaments. At the Beast in the North Tournament Sam Torres placed 2nd at 150lbs. and Jacob Torres placed 4th at 157lbs. Both Alias Raby and David Griffith traveled to Clovis for Doc Buchanan for one of the toughest tournaments in the nation. From this tournament the boys beat some tough opponents and improved their state rankings. State Rankings: Alias Raby is now ranked 3rd at 157lbs. and David Griffith 34th at 132lbs.
