We are SUHi!!!!!!!

Hello my devils, or should I say my crazy spirited kids?

Our school is the most spirited and amazing school. We have our spirit weeks, our assemblies, and our performers. Talking about performers, one of your group performers who are working hard and sweating so much each time they practice is your advanced dance team. Advanced dance tries their best to make each assembly fun and exciting for the whole school. Their dances might not be exactly on point, but they work so hard that some even get injured. But because they like to perform, they work through the pain and dance their hearts away.

Advanced dance often works on three dances at the same time to get more work and practice done. While  they practice these dances, sometimes they get hurt, they get tired, they get sore, and they sweat like pigs; but all of this is worth it because they get to share with the SUHi Nation all the dances that they have learned to make the crowds scream and to get you moving in your seats.

Advanced dance is very excited to show you their dance for the fall sports assembly. It is going to be a cute, moving, and magical dance that you just won’t help but love. Dance will never get tired of dancing because each year the spirit of dance will grow more and more to make SUHi’s visual and performing arts even more dynamic and spectacular. If you ever miss any of the performances from the whole year, there is also a dance concert for you to come and watch at the end of the year. They also appreciate all the love and support the Red Devil community gives them during these performances. SUHi all the way! And, they want you to never forget, Once A Devil Always A Devil.

Tennis is a very rigorous sport. It involves being both mentally and physically prepared. With all the running that is within this sport, harsh conditioning is required for the readiness of each game. Pertaining to the weather, these ladies play in 80 or 90°F, which has them sweating buckets out on the courts. Yet these girls will still run as fast as they can to chase the ball and get it over to the other side. To be mentally prepared for tennis, it’s all about playing smart. Whether you decide to hit it short, go in for a deep shot, slice the ball, or smash that ball onto the court, the most important thing would have to be going in with a confident mentality. You can’t let the loss of one point dictate the rest of your game. Like Coach Hernandez says, “If you are already going to go in with a mentality that you’re going to lose, I’d rather you forfeit the game.” The point of this is that if you already think you’re going to lose, you give yourself no chance to even win.

As of today, these ladies have had their first couple of victories over Southwest and Mar Vista High School. Each team puts up a fight, endlessly waiting for each and every teammate to get out on the court, eager to know every score. The final scores ended up being 10-8, only winning by one game. With more games to come, Coach Hernandez will use the best of his abilities to work these girls into shape. There is still lots of work to be done when it comes to training these ladies. Now, with about thirty ladies officially

on the team, more than there has been in years, Coach Hernandez finds the best way to drill every single one. He even gets help from some of the men from the Men’s Tennis team who volunteer as managers for our ladies.

Here’s the 2015 line-up:
For singles:

#1 Gladdis Barajas
#2 Jesilyn Renei Ferrer
#3 Jasmine Duran

For doubles:

#1 Krismay Morena and Maricar Gonzales
#2 Elizabeth Meneses and Rosa Lopez
#3 Domonique Tuason and Jazztianne Madriaga

For alternates:

Marianne Ople
Natalie Baeza
Melissa Godinez
Rosalinda Jimenez Fortanel
Patricia Valencia

The games are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday at 3 pm. In the South Bay League, we play every school twice. So even though a team may have lost the first time, they still have a few more weeks until they play the same school again. Each school always comes back better the second time around. So, these Lady Devils have to keep working hard and keep their heads in the game.
