The San Clemente High School team took their sixth straight win on Oct. 29 over Capo Valley High School at T-Street Beach, 113-55. The contest was a back-to-back victory for the team, which also beat Dana Hills the day before, 98-70, at T Street. On Oct. 15, they took down Newport 100-68. The first three wins of the season saw SCHS beat Dana Hills, Aliso and Laguna, respectively.
According to Coach John Dowell, season standouts include Colin Deveze, who has won every shortboard heat he’s surfed this season and Rachael Tilly who has done the same in longboard.
“In Newport Rachael broke her longboard midway through her heat after dropping a 9.00 on a well overhead wave that she surfed almost flawlessly,” Dowell said. “This team is surfing really well and has a real positive vibe and a great attitude on the beach. They are all very supportive of one another and it’s fun to be a part of it.”
The team was set to compete with Laguna Beach High School on Nov. 4 at Thalia Street but the contest was canceled due to small surf.
Next up, the team will face Newport High School at T Street on Nov. 12.
