Joe Naiman Village News Reporter The Escondido Charter girls swim team had only eight members when the White Tigers traveled to Fallbrook High School for a March 18 meet, so Fallbrook coach Sean Redmond utilized junior varsity as well as varsity swimmers that day. “Since they did not have that many swimmers we did not do JV at all, so we moved all the JV swimmers up and let them do varsity,” Redmond said. “It gave them an opportunity to race,” Redmond said. “It allowed some of them to try an event they had never tried bef...

"I think it's a victory already that we just got a team together, " Mencias said. "We were happy to score two runs." Bonsall was held hitless until the sixth inning whe...
