The girls started off their season with a big DUB winning against KIS 42-36. Racheal led the team with 16 Boards, Dyanne, top scorer, scoring 12 points, and Sydney Chung with 4 steals! Yessir~~~
Last Friday and Saturday, the girls competed in the Korea classic games. It was a great early season learning experience for our team. Friday we had two losses (SIS and Chadwick) but Saturday we showed up to play beating Canadian Academy Japan, playing SIS again in a closer much more competitive game, and redeeming ourselves in a win against Chadwick, getting 3rd overall in the tournament.
Rachael Ko and Dyanne Ahn kept the opponents on their toes with their ability to drive to the basket, Aimee Park stepped up by playing and excelling in a new position, while solid defense from Jasmine Chang and Haeli Ra helped turn the tide for our team.
The whole team contributed to the wins through seamless transitions from player to player and a hype bench who kept the energy going for our team throughout the tournament.
Keep that same energy girls!
The Varsity Boys started off their season with a W against KIS winning 41:30! Sihwan led the team with 18 BIG points. Nicky and Eric had 2 steals each, Ulus Jones and Nicky had one block each and John Woo had 7 rebounds!

It was tough but we will get em next time for sure.
We only have one POTW and that is Rachael Ko! Rachael is a leader on the court and for our team always demonstrating tenacity and determination. During the Korea classic Rachael led our team in points and rebounds,
She is a versatile post player who can attack the basket in addition to stepping out the take the three. Most of all Rachael is a beast on the boards, leading our team in rebounds, ensuring the other team doesn’t get a second chance shot.
Well thats it from us

Hello guys to Sports Reporttttt!!!! Last week was the start to all the teams of the fall season!!!
The varsity girls volleyball played in the Korean Classic at SFS on Saturday. They first swept TCIS with JoJo Pak and Sydney Chung both getting six aces. Megan had 7 kills and freshman Alex Sohn had five. Next they went on to play SFS in an intense match and came out with the win. Senior Eliana Kim was clutch in serving to help seal the win and had four aces. JoJo and Megan were on fire with their defensive passing and Megan had 11 kills. Lastly, the lady Guardians defeated KIS with Anna Fertig earning a team high four kills. It was a good team win as the Guardians defended their Korean Classic title.
The varsity boys played TCIS, SFS and KIS in the Korean Classic hosted by SFS. The boys got off to a rough start in the first match against TCIS losing 0-2. They rebounded against SFS, pushing the match to a third set, before losing. In their third match of the day against KIS the boys fought back after dropping the first set to win the final two and come away with the victory. The day provided some good experience for the young players and opportunities for the returning players to begin stepping into much needed leadership roles.
The girls had a great start to the season with a friendly at SFS. The girls played well and had some close matches, but SFS took the win. We are excited to see what the season will hold with 6 of 7 players returning from last year, and the addition of three freshman. Our team is full of players with great and team-centered attitudes, so there is no limit to the possibilities of success this year.
The boys tennis team suffered a devastating loss. An unfortunate result of 0-5.

Her toughness on the court could be seen during clutch times of the games as she led the team as a strong captain.
Next for the varsity boys volleyball team, Noah Pak is the player of the week. Noah Pak showed us why he is one of the backbones of this year’s team. He is a reliable player under pressure and as the current aces and kills leader he sets an example for the rest of the team. His well-roundedness and desire to become better have both contributed tremendously in not only scoring for the team, but also in helping his fellow teammates improve themselves during practices and games.
Moving on to tennis, Erica is the player of the week for the varsity girls tennis team! Erica played two matches this week while battling tendonitis in her dominant arm. She toughed it out with an admirable performance in a singles match against SIS and won with her doubles partner Claire Park against KIS. We appreciate how Erica is a fighter and are looking forward to when she’s at full strength again!
For the Varsity Boys Tennis team, sophomore David Lee is the player of the week. David has put a lot of time and effort into improving his game over the past 12 months, and work ethic is yielding results. With a powerful serve and big forehand, when David’s big guns are firing and he is hard to beat.

Yoyoyoyoyo. This is Coach Hale coming at you… with another edition of the sports report.
The varsity boy’s soccer team rebounded with some exciting games last week. On Friday, YISS took on SFS at home and came out with an energy that demonstrated their true potential. Though heavily outshooting the Crusaders, SFS scored a goal to finish off the first half, and the Guardians were down 1-0 at the break. However, the team didn’t give up and became even stronger after an incredible penalty shot save by Job Thaitrong. Pablo Yuste Nam scored the 1-1 tying goal for the Guardians before SFS rebounded for their second goal of the game. The team wasn’t finished yet though, and with under 5 minutes to go, Tommaso Pespani connected on a free kick sent in from Shutaro Hasumi. The Guardians ended the game in a 2-2 tie with SFS.
On Saturday, the team traveled to TCIS to take on the Dragons. The game went back and forth, with both teams struggling to get off strong shots. After a physically demanding fight, the Guardians showed their tenacity, as Jordan Hudson sprinted through the defense to score the game-winning goal off an assist from Pablo Yuste Nam with just 20 minutes left in the game. The Guardians played with tight defense for the remainder of the match, and keeper Job Thaitrong was able to record his first clean sheet as a Varsity starter. Great job, boys.
The girls’ soccer team fought hard against SFS on Friday afternoon but were unable to pull out the win. Coach Trevino is very proud of the effort that the girls put in and how they never gave up. The girls came on strong against TCIS on Saturday, beating the Dragons 1-0. Keep up the good work ladies.
This week, the soccer teams will have an away stint, first on Friday at Daegu and then Saturday at Osan. The swim team will be at SFS on Friday and Saturday for the conference meet. And track & field will head to HHS for another meet on Saturday.

Yoyoyoyoyo. This is Coach Hale coming at you… with another edition of the sports report.
Last week was the kick-off of the spring sports season. Last Wednesday we hosted 9 other schools for the first High School swim competition of 2018.
The Guardians had a great start to the season with all of the swimmers performing best times or close to their best times. This is really encouraging being so early in the season.
Shout out to some breakout Athletes:
Kevin Lee dropped 13 sec in his 3 events for the day
Christie Park dropped 9 sec for the day
Andrew Park dropped 9 sec for the day
William Park Dropped 7 sec in his 100 IM and earned a spot on the A Medley Relay.
Grace Lee stepped up dropping over 6 sec to place top 10 in 2 of her events.
Our Boys Medley Relay tied the school record set back in 2014 to the exact 100th of a second: Kyle Won, Sam Choi, William Park, and Grant Lee will be looking to break that record at the next meet.
Jiyu Shin led the way for the girls placing 2nd in the 50 fly and a pair of 3rd place finishes in the 50 free and 50 breast.
Last but not least, Congrats to Kyle Won who turned heads as he won 2 individual events, the 100 IM, and the 50 backstroke, upsetting upperclassmen from SIS who were not expecting such a high performance from the freshman. Kyle set 4 individual School records in the100IM, 50 Back, 100 Free, and the 50 free leading off the boys relay at the end of the meet.
The boys’ soccer team lost Wednesday at SAHS 0-2. It was scoreless in the first half, with the boys controlling the ball for most of the game. But the Falcons opened it up with a goal in the 2nd half, causing the guys to change their strategy. This change allowed another goal late in the game, as the defense was more open. The guys lost again at Humphreys on Saturday.
The girls’ team had a good start to the season, beating a strong SAHS squad Friday 2-1. They headed to Humphreys with some momentum on Saturday. While they controlled the ball for most of the match, the girls could only put the finishing touch on one ball. The match would end in a 1-1 draw.
The track and field team was also at Humphreys on Saturday for their season opener. Both boys and girls teams finished in 3rd on the day, behind SAHS and HHS. Gayoon finished 3rd in the 100 M hurdles. Navya Kala won the high jump and Jungeun Sohn came in 3rd in that event. Maya Reed and Allison Park finished 2 and 3 in the discus.
On the boys side, Seungmin Bae finished 2nd in the 100 M dash and 4th in the 200. Joshua Swanson finished 4th in both the 800 and 1600. Andy Kung came in 2nd in the long jump. And the big news of the day was the boys 4×800 M Relay, composed of Josh Swanson, Ian Choi, Andy Noh, and Andy Kung, who won that event with a time of 10:05.31.
This week the soccer teams face SFS at home on Friday. I expect a big crowd to cheer them on. Saturday the soccer teams will head to TCIS for an afternoon match there. This has been Coach Hale…and I’m out.
