Winterguard wins silver at regional<\/strong><\/p>\n

The arts are alive at Patrick Henry High School in a display not well known to most, unless you happen to come across the Winterguard team tossing colorful, 6-foot flags, white wooden rifles or shiny metal sabers in rhythm to music. Winter guard is called “The Sport of the Arts” as it combines physical skill with artistic pageantry. It is an indoor color guard activity for the winter months and is performed in a gymnasium. Teams are judged on talent, precision, creativity, skill with equipment and dance moves. Students get physical training, which builds self-confidence, while perfecting their skills. They also are part of a team where all are committed and focused on a positive common goal; to perfect and perform their show to the best of their ability.<\/p>\n

The PHHS Winterguard team consist of 21 dedicated students who have practiced hundreds of hours preparing for this season’s show, titled “My Work is Done.” Their hard work paid off as they were awarded a silver medal at the Winter Guard Association of Southern California Championships held in Huntington Beach on April 25. They also won three first place trophies and a second place trophy during seasonal competitions that began February.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to be awarded a silver medal and three first place trophies for our school,” said Haley VanBaale, one of this year’s co-captains. “Our love of the drill and choreography in this show are evident when we perform and the judges must see that.”<\/p>\n

Winterguard is part of the instrumental music program at Patrick Henry, led by director Matthew Kalal and coaches David Milow and Austin Katona. This year\u2019s co-captains are Haley VanBaale, Lehxy Pich, and Katherine Gi. Team members are Allison Ogul, Amanda Byra, Ary Hernandez, Arryanne Do, Isabella Webb, Bree Cota, Brianna Pinto, Britt Butterbaugh, Claire Christy, Dawn Busbin, Helyana Do, Jacky Hulley, James Montee, Jennifer Voogd, Kellie Inlay, Marie Barthel, Oliver Booriakin and Samantha Gipson.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to this year\u2019s Winterguard team for representing Patrick Henry so well.<\/p>\n

Varsity softball team was on fire this year! <\/strong><\/p>\n

The PHHS softball team took first place in the gold division at the annual Cougar Classic in March. The team went 6-1, beating some really tough teams, including Cathedral and Eastlake, the team that beat PHHS twice last year to eliminate them from CIF. The only team that beat PHHS was Rancho Buena Vista, who went undefeated and were the platinum champions.<\/p>\n

It’s a great start for the girls. Expectations are high this year. There are five players on the team who have committed to Division I colleges, including sophomore pitcher Madison James, who has committed verbally to Ohio State, and sophomore catcher Cristina Caccamise, who has committed verbally to Louisiana State University. The Lady Pats went into the season ranked No. 5 in the county by U-T San Diego. Fun facts at this time include:<\/p>\n
