Main Street Classic; Be There!
It’s that time of year again! It is the rivalry of the season, between the Pioneer Valley Panthers and the Santa Maria Saints! Ever since PV has been open, we have had an undefeated record against SMHS. However, our previous head coach of Varsity Football, Coach Ellington, is now the head Varsity coach at SMHS. This could change things quite a bit for the Saints.
This past Wednesday, 6 captains and the coaches came together at Cool Hand Luke’s for lunch. There, they discussed this upcoming game and wished each other luck. “This is a great way to build tradition and recognition for our student athletes while at the same time emphasizing good sportsmanship between the schools in the SMJUHSD,’’ said PVHS Athletic Director Greg Lanthier.
Coach Ruiz gave all varsity players a Main Street Classic shirt, illustrating the rivalry between the two schools. This is the game to be at! If you aren’t at this game, you have to be living under a rock! Come cheer on your JV and Varsity Panthers Tonight!
