As the new sports season springs into action at the Ojai Valley Upper Campus, the golf team swings into action as they take to the greens with clubs in hand and determination in their hearts to improve their game and compete with other schools.
On a recent Sunday morning, as thousands of runners took to the streets for the annual Surf City Marathon, OVS senior Eli Roston and junior Benjamin Scordamaglia joined the crowd on the 26.2-mile journey, equipped with the shoes on their feet, the gels in their packs, and the determination to conquer the trail ahead of them.
After tireless work and commitment at the high school and community college level, OVS alum Derek Mendoza is off to play baseball at Doane University, relishing an opportunity that has been years in the making.
