Congratulations to the Highlander Girls Tennis team on winning their CIF NCS Div II team playoffs opening match over Urban HS. The teams season came to an end on Friday with a hard fought match vs Marin Academy in the 2nd round of the CIF NCS playoffs.

Three Highlanders have qualified for the CIF NCS Individual and Doubles playoffs which start Monday 11/18/24 at Vintage HS. Carolina Romanczuk will represent the Highlanders in the singles playoffs while the doubles team of Kate Jumper and Arianna Kartum looks to bring home the title in doubles play. Go Highlanders.

Congratulations to the Highlander football team on winning their CIF NCS Div 7 quarterfinal game this past Friday. This is the programs first playoff win since 2017. The Highlanders will travel to Ferndale for their Semi Final game on Saturday 11/23 at 1pm. Go Highlanders

In alignment with the spectator’s code set by NCS, we expect:

• All spectator activity and actions – before, during and after games, to be positive and respectful of all athletes, officials, coaches, cheerleaders, staff, and fans

• No derogatory or disrespectful language and behavior to harass players, coaches, or officials; name calling, booing, and “trash talking” will not be tolerated

• Cheering for our team rather than against the opposing team or its fans

• Staying within the physical boundaries set for spectators; going onto the court or field during play will not be tolerated.

Moving forward, any individual not demonstrating the utmost respect towards either team or not upholding the expectations of NCS and Piedmont High School will be removed from the game, may lose the privilege to attend future events, and may impact their participation in another sport. Additionally, the first row of all spectator events will remain empty to ensure safety for all individuals participating in the game and for supervision purposes. Failure to uphold these rules can result in Piedmont High School losing the ability to host or participate in NCS games.

Sportsmanship is simple, treat others how you would want to be treated. Respect the game and everyone participating including student-athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators. Education-based athletics is more than winning, it’s about academic development, equity, and character. Be Responsible, Be Respectful.

Let’s maintain a competitively healthy environment while being respectful to our opponents and all other groups present.

With winter sports in full swing we are looking for High School students interested in being student managers for our basketball and soccer teams. Being a student manager is a great way for students to be a member of a team while supporting the coaching staff and players during practices and games. Student managers support with setting up practice drills, running drills, managing equipment needed for practices and games, keeping stats, and supporting the athletic trainer. Students interested in being a student manager should email the Athletic Department at tsmall@piedmont.k12.ca.us or stopping by the Athletic Department Office.
