MONTE VISTA HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS RADIUM GIRLS NOV. 12-14

 

By Kathy Carpenter

Associate and Youth Reviewer www.sdtheatrereviews.com

November 9, 2015 (Spring Valley) - Students at Monte Vista rock Radium Girls. Was the small theatre at the school full? No. Do the students who work hard for two months deserve a full house, with the school and peers behind them? Yes? I don't understand how the big theatres fill up and the small ones remain unoccupied. Their is no reason those seats should not be full. The arts benefit everyone in a positive way.

Factory workers treated unfairly is the theme of the play, still very much relevant throughout the world today. Is this a popular subject? No. A controversial subject, yes. As the "Grinder", a new television series said tonight, dramatic--which makes for a compelling play.

MONARCHS SHUT OUT OF CIF CHAMPIONSHIP

 

By David Dickens

December 17, 2013 (San Diego’s East County) -- -Monte Vista (7-6) was expected to cruise through this Division 4 rematch on December 8th against the Sweetwater High Red Devils(9-4)for the SDCIF crown. However, just like the age old saying, “ On any given Sunday,” this time the whims of fate kicked in on Saturday. Playoffs at any level discounts regular season play as a whole new atmosphere.

The ironic stat in this battle:  not a single pass was thrown in the Monarch triumph early in the regular season play; this time it was the pass that stole the game.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS LACROSSE: MONARCHS SQUASH SULTANS' COMEBACK BID IN FOURTH, PULL OUT 10-6 WIN

 

by Christopher Mohr

 

(Spring Valley) April 14 - In an exciting lacrosse match at Monte Vista High School, the host Monarchs prevailed with a 10-6 win over the Sultans of Santana High School. The game featured several momentum shifts and was on the verge of erupting into a fight before Monte Vista squelched a late comeback bid by Santana. 

 
 
The Monarchs gained the early lead on two unassisted goals by Matt Parris, whose breakaway speed proved to be troublesome to Santana's defense. Although Matt Doyle's goal at 6:48 in the first quarter got Santana on the scoreboard, Jesse Torres scored a goal only a minute later and the Monarchs had a 3-1 lead at the end of one quarter.

GAME OF THE WEEK - BONUS COVERAGE: MONARCHS ENCOUNTER REBELLION AT SFC

by Christopher Mohr

(SOLANA BEACH) - At a private, religious K-12 school like Santa Fe Christian, it's a given that  students are well-versed in the story of David and Goliath. What's doubtful however, is that those who taught that story expected its lessons would be applied to the high school football program.
