Helix Softball Coach Has Goal to Win Grossmont League, Led By Seniors

Emily Kowalski, now in her second year as varsity coach, has aspirations for the CIF playoffs for the Scotties once again.

Helix Charter High School's head softball coach Emily Kowalski knows that her team has the talent and leadership to accomplish big things this year. But playing in the always-tough Grossmont League will certainly have its challenges as well.

Led by seniors Chanelle Ward, Keana Nakata, Kai Penn and Sydni Toilolo, Kowalski said the team as a lofty goal to win the league. But for a team that finished with just one league win last season, playing .500 and getting to the CIF playoffs will be a step in the right direction.

That is correct 'Bat', pathetic attempts by followers of the present charlatan President - keep…Read More trying to make, this some sordidly type of "racist" issue... wholly non-existent. In other words, affixing blame in search of a problem, for perceived political gain. The fact is, our President Barack Obama is a bad manager, hiring lousy managers in positions demanding excellence, affording no quarter for ineptitude and deceit! Promotion of figures and public servants as reward for ineptitude, should be punished by laws in-place and not shuffled around to administer more egregious miss-management. Lying to Americans has been perpetrated, by whom is in need of the reveal. The facts are inconsistent with, what has been revealed thus far. On the Muslim issue of the President's proclivity for apologies, it is appeasement at the least and inherent bowing to outrageous power at worst. The optics(hate that word in politics), are not good for America.

Why yes 'TIL', I do remember a more vibrant. lively and robust Patch site in the region! Now the…Read More Mommy Bloggers are happy, happy, happy*. Patch may or may not be getting what they want, but the tourist rag they are producing is fun for the Mommy Bloggers - they adapt so well. In the early few days of the "transition"... I had prepared comments on positives and negatives, as well suggestions to make San Diego region Patch workable... all for naught and logical lack of interest. Recently... voices of the Grape Nuts... on the left side have called oppositional views "unpatriotic"... though discordant, it isn't like people were allowed to die without expedient help or laws being abridged, abrogated or circumvented. Cry's of "slander" are incorrect, but doesn't prevent those more discordant voices from uttering the tones. I remember when Free Speech reigned in America 'TIL'... I do? Sure the chicks were nice... until they aren't. *ala Phil Robertson
