The Honor Roll: PLHS winter sports athletes garner honors

by Scott Hopkins

A CIF championship team, a league champion team, and a league Player of the Year topped the winter sports season at Point Loma High.

Once again, it was the boys soccer team, peaking at just the right time under head coach Elliott Savitz, that brought another CIF championship banner to the Pointer campus. The team defeated Calexico High in penalty kicks to win the Div. I trophy.
