Coronado High School has fielded a football team since 1913. Friday night the Islanders, under third-year Head Coach Kurt Hines, will take the field against Maranatha Christian High School, with the kickoff slated for 7 p.m. Due to an Athletic Department Open House celebration, no admission will be charged for the game, with donations accepted. Please refer to the Open House details below.
Last week the Islanders held a Green vs. White scrimmage on the brand new artificial turf installation at Niedermeyer Field. It was the first time the team had been on the new field and there was one primary difference, which was green rubber pellets replacing the familiar black pellets embedded in the turf, which should keep the field cooler in the summer. Also, the field is a true multi-purpose facility, home to multiple Islander sports. There are now permanent field markings for soccer, boy’s lacrosse and girl’s lacrosse, in addition to football.
Back to last week’s scrimmage. Hines, who doubles as the team’s head coach and offensive coordinator, called the plays for the First and Second Team Offensive units, while Assistant Head Coach Mark Davis, who is now in his 18th year with the program, made the calls for the First and Second Team Defenses. It’s probably no surprise the first teams on both sides dominated play. Another scrimmage highlight was JV Head Coach and Varsity Assistant Terry Leary serving as the head linesman for the contest.

Sue Gillingham is the Executive Director of the Coronado Chamber of Commerce and as such has a handle on the business climate in the city. That element, combined with her strong business background, and the fact that she and her husband Dave Gillingham have lived in Coronado for two decades provides her with a unique perspective on the city. And the news from the business community of late is a tad underwhelming.

The Girl Scout Cookie season may be over for San Diegans, but for some military troops and veterans, it’s still in full swing!
Through Girl Scouts San Diego’s Operation Thin MintSM (OTM) program, deployed U.S. military troops and local veterans receive “a taste of home and a note to show we care.” Thanks to enterprising local Girl Scouts and generous San Diegans, 165,355 packages of cookies (4,200 more than last year!) and hand-written notes of support are on their way to military personnel stationed in Afghanistan, Japan, and Northern Africa.

The Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) governing board met on Thursday, Aug. 15 to hear reports and discuss upcoming agenda items.
New to the meetings was John Shoemaker, the new student representative from Coronado High School. New also was Esther Valdes Clayton – new in name, at least. It seems that Valdes Clayton was married since the last meeting.
The Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) inaugurated the new school year with a staff welcome day at Coronado High School (CHS). The theme of the day was, “Connect, Challenge, Champion.”
The morning started with a breakfast of donuts and coffee, sponsored by Claytons. At the informal gathering outside CHS, staff members were able to meet each other, members of the district staff, and members of the California Schools Employees Association (CSEA). Three members of the school board were also in attendance for the morning: board president Lee Pontes, and trustees Helen Anderson-Cruz and Maria Simon.
Following the breakfast, Superintendent Karl Mueller welcomed attendees into the auditorium to officially welcome them. Mueller introduced the day by repeating a phrase he often uses: “Every child, every day.” In his introduction to the day and to the academic year, Mueller said: “In CUSD we believe that every child, every day needs a connection to something greater than oneself; this may be a club, a sport, a group of friends, an adult on campus, or a social cause. We also believe that every child, every day needs a challenge; this may be academic, personal, social, or thinking critically to improve condition of self, community, or world. Finally, we understand that every child, every day needs a champion; this may be an adult who believes in and advocates for them, a friend, or a supportive community. When our students have a connection, a challenge, and a champion, they have the courage and confidence to reach their full potential with happiness and optimism.”
Nearly all of the numbers are in, and the 48th annual Optimist Club of Coronado’s Sports Fiesta raised $52,000 and counting as donations and sponsor dollars continue to trickle in. All of that money will help support youth sports and youth activities in Coronado.
The Sports Fiesta includes a mini triathlon and a separate 1-mile rough water swim and 5K, plus tournaments in beach volleyball and lawn bowling. In all, 205 athletes participated, their ages ranging from 7 to 85.
The coveted Hard Rock award, for combined best performance in the triathlon, rough water swim and 5K went to Debra Yniquez who bested Elizabeth Granquist by 8 seconds on the ladies side. The men’s Hard Rock winner was Alan Kraklow who finished nearly 8 minutes ahead of his nearest competitor.
A full list of winners in each age category can be found below.

The basic facts of the Islander Girls Golf Team’s season opening match victory over Morse High School are this, the score was Coronado 221 and Morse 246 for a match played at National City. But a phone call placed to Head Coach Stuart Gordon confirms the fact that the Islanders are going to be good, maybe really good, this year.
Typically in high school golf, a coach picks six golfers to compete in a match, with the best five scores totaled to create the team score. Since this was the beginning of the season, Gordon sent eight golfers out to play, to gain experience. Two of the
