Youth basketballFifth and sixth grade basketball team A: at top, coach Nick Hall, top left Marcus Curiel, Ross Feeley, Cory Lange, Jacob Leiva, Dalton Skaggs. Bottom left, Justin Hedberg, Robert Natividad, Cody Hall, Gabriel Saavedra, Tyler Beardsley. This great team placed second in the Tehachapi all-star tournament. Coach Nick Hall was proud of this team stating “we played excellent defense and made the big shots when we needed them.” It was obvious that this team played together as a team, which was a nice accomplishment when they had only two weeks to practice for the tournament.
Fifth- and sixth-grade boys basketball team B. Tehachapi should be very proud of these young men. The B team competed in the all-star tournament and though they did not place, showed above and beyond class when they ended their final game with a hard loss and had smiles and high fives for each other and their coach. Due to ineligible players the results have changed from the day of the tournament. TVRPD is pleased to announce that the Tehachapi A team placed second place and will receive their trophy this week and metals will be given to each player. The team picture will be in next week’s paper.
Learn self defense from a proThe vast majority of effective self defense used by law enforcement and elite military today has a deep history in traditional martial arts that goes back over two thousand years. Personal protection expert and personal trainer Sifu Mike Frescas has taught these same principles to civilians for over 25 years.
This is a non-boot camp course. It is designed to be informal, interactive and fun, with small group problem solving. Subject such as zones, use of force and pressure points will be covered. Fit for all adults ages 16 to 65 of any size or previous experience. A certificate in close quarters defensive training, with a 12-hour credit, will be given towards the 36- hour requirement towards blue belt advancement.
