Athletic News – 5/20/22
The St. Francis school year may be over, but the athletics season continues for several of our top student-athletes. The softball team earned a No. 2 seed in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs and won its first-round game against Cordova on Tuesday. The Troubies improved to 24-3 overall with that victory, extending one of the finest years in school history. Meanwhile, the track & field season marches on with the SJS Masters Meet in Davis this weekend. The top finishers in each event will earn trips to the CIF state championships next week.
Textbook Donations Needed
We have some students in need of books!
If you are no longer in need of the textbooks listed on the attachment, we will be accepting donations in the front office.
Athletic News – 5/13/22

Softball will enter the Sac-Joaquin Section tourney as one of the top seeds, while a gifted crew of track & field athletes will head to Davis for the SJS Masters Meet. The top finishers at that meet will advance to the CIF state meet on May 27-28. Stay tuned to GoTroubies.com for details.

Volunteers are needed throughout the year to carry on the many cherished school traditions including Revelry, Father-Daughter Dance, MOM Prom, Staffulty Appreciation Week, and more.
Athletic News – 5/06/22
As the school year winds down, several spring Troubies are doing their best to rewrite the school record books in their respective sports. Lacrosse midfielder, Zahra Smith, wrapped up her career in this week’s North Coast Section playoff battle with Marin Catholic, setting a program benchmark of 58 goals. Small wonder that she’s moving on to play collegiate ball at Delaware State next year. Senior pitcher, Hope Jenkins, struck out her 200th opponent this week against Franklin, making her the first player in the MaxPreps-recorded era of St. Francis to hit that milestone.
Upcoming Senior Events
We are so excited for the upcoming events to celebrate with our Senior class! Please take a look at the details for the events in the attached document. Continue looking at your emails during this time, as well as the Baccalaureate and Graduation page on the website.
