February sports recap

BY BRYAN RAMOS Sports Editor

BASEBALL

Delta’s baseball team’s win streak ended on March 1 playing against Santa Rosa. The team lost 9-8. As of March 2, the team is 13-1.

SOFTBALL

Delta’s softball team had a complicated start due to off pitch situations. That didn’t stop the team from pushing forward.

The team is currently in good form going 5-1 as of March 2.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

The men’s basketball team finished its season going 13-14. The team played 4 games during the month of February and won one out of four games.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

The women’s basketball team played seven games in February and won all seven. The team is 23-6 as of March 1

The women’s basketball team is also set to play against Sierra College for the California Community Colleges Athletic Association Women’s Basketball 23 Northern California Regional Final on March 4.

State, said: “I’m extremely excited to see what pathways open up.”

The players see transferring as an opportunity to pursue the goals that they have tirelessly worked towards. Players like catcher Logan Mock, who is transferring to University Southern Indiana, sees transferring as an opportunity to see new things.

Being recruited to a four-year sports team isn’t easy.

First a player profile is created for recruiters to know which players are available for recruitment. Players compile videos, so that recruiters who aren’t able to see them in person can still see what they’ve got.

There is also an issue of limited opportunities.

“There’s only 11.7 scholarships in the Division 1 level for 35 players,” said Peters regarding the baseball team’s opportunities.

Some scholarships are only partial, which means student athletes have to put in the work to receive academic scholarships as well.

“Work hard keep your grades up, number one, because you have to have good grades to go to division one, and in baseball especially, a lot of the money is academic,” said Peters.

The excitement that athletes feel when they are committed to a four-year can also be felt by prospective athletes.

“Just go for it, don’t really think about what other people have to say about it; if that’s what you want to do then follow your path and it will work out,” said pitcher William Watson, who is transferring to University of Southern California.

Committing to a four-year is proof that hard work never goes unrewarded.

“Just keep working and never give up and good things will happen,” said Reeve.

Countless hours of practice, games, academics, and more come together to create new pathways for student athletes.
