Dear St. Francis Families,
We’ve had a great fall sports season as we approach playoffs. Currently every fall sport is in the mix for a postseason berth! The Fall sports awards night is set for Sunday November 5th at 5 pm in the Borina Athletic Center. There will be dinner provided with drinks and desert followed by awards for each team.
For upcoming playoff games we will not be able to honor any booster passes. The playoff games are CCS events so please bring money with you to the event.

Volleyball
Our volleyball team is making a strong push for a spot in the CCS Division V playoffs. The girls are fresh off of a win over SLV and a thrilling senior night win over Santa Cruz. The girls have an 18-9 overall record and are hoping to host a CCS playoff game at the Borina Athletic Center. Please check in at ww.stfrancishigh.net on the athletics page for playoff information so you can come out and watch our girls.
Football/Cheer
Your Sharks football team sits currently at 7-1 and 4-0 in MTAL Coastal division play. Due to the fires in Northern California the Sharks did have to postpone senior day that was scheduled for October 14th. The game has now been moved to November 10th a Friday night with JV at 5 pm and varsity at 7:30 pm at Watsonville High School. We also are asking for volunteers to work the ticket gate and concessions that evening for parent hours. Contact Athletic Director Adam Hazel at [email protected] to sign up for parent hours. Come out and cheer on your Sharks as they continue their push through the MTAL and hopefully onto the CCS playoffs.
