The PHHS Roller Hockey team had an outstanding season building on last year’s success by earning their first playoff victory and proceeding to the next level.

The team played its first match against Castle Park Trojans and beat them 9-5 in the first-round match-up game. From there, the team was sent to compete at Escondido Skate Center, where they were paired up against the second-seeded Scripps Ranch High School Falcons for their first quarter finals CIF game.

It was a tough game as the Falcons proved themselves by winning with a 12-4 score, however it was a great showing as the Patriots were seeded seventh by winning eight league games this year, compared to the inaugural season last year with getting only one league win in its first CIF season of play.

“Last year, it was a loss in the playoffs but we’ve improved this year,” said PHHS coach Chuck Russell. “We’re happy to be facing Scripps Ranch in the next round, and hoping we can pick up many more playoff wins in the future of our program.”
