MHS Girls Softball Win DII Championship!

Madera High School Girls Softball - 2023 CIF Central Section Division II Champions. MHS Girls Softball Wins DII Championship! The Madera varsity softball team played in the DII Championship game on Friday and walked away as champions.  Pitcher, Nastasha Griffin, made the first three defensive plays of the game getting MHS back into the dugout and ready to get their offense going.  Clean-up batter, Malea Ricks, put the first run on the board for the Coyotes after getting to first off a bunt. First base coach, Alan Revilla, sent Ricks on the first pitch and the steal was successful. Destinee Avila’s hit dropped in front of the centerfielder and Ricks speed took her all the way home. Frontier tied the game in the third after a single, an error and a sacrifice. Griffin’s double put her in scoring position with one out in the fourth inning. Ricks followed with a strong grounder that got passed the shortstop and the left fielder, making it to the fence. Pinch-runner Jayleen Gutknecht rounded third and scored the second run for Madera. Right behind her was Ricks who had turned on the speed and scored the third run and added a homerun to her resumé. Malea Ricks, the Most Inspirational Player recipient, steals second and slides safe. Lady Coyotes get game ready with a pregame huddle. Pitcher Nastasha Griffin winds up for a strike. Frontier fought back as hard as they could in the top of the sixth, scoring one run, making it a 3-2 game. Griffin made contact again, this time finding a gap in right-centerfield, earning her a triple. Gutknecht, pinch-runner for Coyotes, was in the game again, ready to score. An infield single by Ricks scored Gutknecht. That insurance run gave the Coyotes a 4-2 lead to enter the seventh inning. The final, winning play came courtesy of Kimberly Zarasua, snagging a grounder and making the play at first to secure Madera’s fourth Central Section Championship.  “I’m so happy for the kids. They have really grown and matured as a team. Coming into this game we had to keep doing what we do,” Head Coach Judy Shaubach said after the win. Freshman, Malea Ricks, walked away with the Most Inspirational Player Award. Malea came through clutch with three hits, two runs, one RBI and a diving catch for the highlight reel. “That is absolutely contagious. You gotta play up to her level, she was just awesome today,” Coach Shaubach said of Malea’s energy and the talent she brought. Adding that Malea might be one of the best base runners she has coached, crediting her knowledge of the game and runner instincts. The next stop on the road to the state championship is today with a game in Modesto, against Central Catholic High School. A win today will advance them to the semi-finals on Thursday, against the winner between Pleasant Valley High School and West Valley High School. Coyotes celebrate their win.

Lady Stallions Swim & Dive Team are the NYL Champions!

Weekly Updates May 5, 2023 Follow us on Work-Life Balance is Possible One in four Americans describes themselves as “super stressed”. Being able to balance work and life seems impossible to many, but it isn’t. Achieving a healthy work-life balance  is  an attainable goal. A goal that you, your family, and your employers will see rewards from. While at work set manageable goals each day. The more control we have over our work, the less stressed we will get. Make a to-do list and complete the more important tasks first. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. Take a break! It isn’t only necessary and acceptable, we encourage you to do it. These small breaks will help you clear your mind and help you make better decisions when you get back to the project.  When you get home after a workday, disconnect from technology (including checking work emails). While technology makes our jobs easier it will also burn us out. A good idea is to give yourself a time limit to be on a device. Don’t over-commit! It is ok to say “no” (at home and at work). Take the evening off to relax or do something for yourself. Staying active is a great way to keep your mental and physical health right.  Finally, get help if you need it. Don’t allow the lack of work-life balance to get in the way of your mental health and happiness.  Learn more about mental health by clicking here.

Renowned speaker Keith Hawkins who MC’d the event said, “We want all the students to realize that we have an incredible culture at this school.” The idea behind this event is to help students find a way to connect with each other and build relationships. This assembly opened doors for students to learn more about themselves, their peers and the world around them and develop empathy for one another, which is essential for building future solid relationships. Autism Awareness Continues with a Coffee Morning at Pershing Elementary Last Friday, Pershing hosted a Coffee Morning to help spread Autism Awareness.
