Grossmont Baseball Champions Amongst La Mesa Student Athletes Honored for Scholastics

Grossmont High School baseball not only won the CIF championship this year, but they had the most athletes honored with placement on the U-T San Diego All-Academic Team of the high school ball teams in La Mesa.

      As the Saturay listing noted: "The All-Academic Team honors juniors and seniors who participated in a California Interscholastic Federation-approved varsity sport and maintained a cumulative, weighted grade-point average of 3.0 or better.

      The U-T and county Office of Education invited all CIF San Diego section schools to take part. Athletes with cumulative, weighted grade-point averages of 3.0 or better were listed—and will get certificates.

      Some 7,482 student-athletes were honored in Saturday’s sports section, including 69 ball players and many other athletes from La Mesa. See the full list here.
