RHS boys water polo romps, girls win tourney
Staff Report
Reedley High School's girls tennis team wrapped up the North Yosemite League cham- pionship Oct. 4 with a 7-2 vic- tory over second place Hoover at the RHS tennis courts.
The victory improved Reedley to 9-0 in league play with just one match remain- ing, against Sunnyside on Oct. 9. Results of that match were unavailable at press time.
The Pirates won five of the six singles matches and two of the three doubles matches.
"Our strength through league has been our depth at singles," said coach Randy Lepp. "I attribute much of that to an outstanding JV program that is consistently feeding the varsity team with well- prepared players."
Jocilynn Pueblas swept to a 6-3, 6-1 victory in number one singles while Reedley also received wins from No. 3 Emma Mulligan (6-3, 6-2), No. 4 Jennifer Gordillo (6-0, 6-1), No. 5 Brianna Hernan- dez (6-3, 6-1) and No. 6 Yes- enia Segovia (6-1, 6-0). No. 2 singles player Victoria Jaime dropped her match in a third set tiebreaker.
In doubles, the top team of Pueblas and Mulligan downed the Hoover opponents by an 8-2 score. Segovia and Co- ryenne Marrufo won their match, 8-4, while Xiadinia Guzman and Melissa Gomez

A week after being stymied by Roosevelt, Reed- ley High School's football team picked up the offen- sive production considerably in its Oct. 5 homecom- ing game against McLane High.
The Pirates racked up 515 yards of offense— 336 of it on the ground — in a 41-21 triumph over the Highlanders at Sam Gonzalez Field. Reedley evened its North Yosemite League record at 1-1 while im- proving to 2-3 overall. McLane dropped to 4-3 and 0-2.
Senior running back Jairo Aguilar had a big night for the Pirates, rushing for 160 yards and four touch- downs on 18 carries. He also caught a touchdown pass from Julio Montalvo on a play covering 80 yards, and racked up 240 total yards with all of his scores coming in the first half.
Aguilar found the end zone on a pair of 1-yard runs in the opening quarter, and Reedley broke the game open with a 27-7 second quarter outburst. Max Alvarez rushed for a 33-yard touchdown and Mon- talvo added a 2-point run to make it 22-0 early in the second. Three plays after a McLane punt, Montalvo and Aguilar hooked up on the long pass play for a 28-0 lead following a missed extra point kick.

Big-play backs power Liberty past Immanuel
Staff Report
The Liberty High School Hawks ground attack — in particular Wyatt Roth — were too powerful for the Imman- uel High School Eagles to handle in their Homecoming football game on Oct. 5.
Roth, a 6-foot, 220-pound senior, rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns as the school from Madera Ranchos rolled to a 49-19 victory at the Immanuel Sports Complex. He had two long scoring runs including a 55-yard sprint in the opening quarter and an- other rush TD in the second as the Hawks (6-1) raced to a 35-7 halftime lead and never looked back in the non-league matchup.
