The 2022 high school football season begins Friday, August 26 and both the Alameda Hornets and Encinal Jets are in action.

The Alameda High School (AHS) softball team pitcher Jasmine Whorley held two opponents scoreless in games last week.

Encinal High School’s (EHS) baseball team went 0-2 last week, losing 7-1, to Oakland Tech (2-4-1) on March 2, and 14-6, to Bishop O’Dowd of Oakland (3-1) on March 4.

The Encinal High School (EHS) men’s soccer team entered their Jan. 28 match against Hayward High School burdened by a six-game losing streak. To make matters worse, the Farmers had defeated the Jets, 8-1, on Dec. 3, 2021.

Holding a 41-31 halftime lead, the Jets looked one step closer to their first holiday tournament championship in several years. However, a Miramonte High School team, riding a five-game winning streak, would not be denied.

Eighteen days off between games is a long break for a team trying to find its rhythm. But rust wasn’t a factor for the Encinal High School (EHS) women’s basketball team when they defeated the St. Joseph Notre Dame women’s team, 64-7, on Dec. 21 on the Pilots’ home court.

Encinal High School men’s basketball team went 1-1 last week. The Jets lost, 41-39, to St. Mary’s High of Albany on Dec. 15 before bouncing back to defeat Piedmont High School, 64-60, on Dec. 17. Both games were on the road. The Jets are now 4-3 on the season.
