The Coronado FC girls 2011 team concluded their 2022-23 season as finalists in the SoCal Soccer State Cup Tournament at the Silverlake’s Sports Complex in Norco, California. During first round pool play, the team easily defeated Rebels Soccer Club 6-0 with an impressive offensive attack, the…

The Islander track team competed in its third pre-league meet last Saturday at the Elmer Runge Invite, held this year at University City High School. Beginning this Thursday, we’ll start our league season with a cluster meet that includes Christian, Coronado, Clairemont, and Kearny at Kearny High School. For photos and results of this and all other meets, go to IslanderTrack.com.

Head Islander Track Coach Cameron Gary checks in with a recap of last Saturday’s meet; “Freshman distance runner Nathan Ayan continues to impress.

We are just eight games into the 2023 season, but you can feel the excitement around the Coronado High School Islanders baseball team. 

When you are one of the best, you often want to face the best in the early season. That’s a saying that the Coronado High School boys lacrosse team has been living for the first two weeks of their 2023 spring season. 

Having already faced off against arguably one of the best teams in the country in Torrey Pines High School last week, the Islanders were in for another test when they welcomed in the Dragons of Southlake Carroll High School in Texas.

The Coronado High School girls softball team came into the week searching for a win. With a record of 1-3, a much-needed W could help turn this team back in the right direction. 

Blink, and you might miss it. “It,” of course, being the fastball of Coronado senior and University of California Berkley commit Max Murray.

The right-hander was on his A-game as he led the Islanders to their third victory of the season as they disposed of Mater Dei with ease by the final of 11-1.

“We played a complete game all around,” said Islander Head Coach Morgan

That undefeated feeling ... there is not a better one out there in sports. And for the Islanders girls lacrosse team, they are currently experiencing that as after two weeks of play, they sport a spotless 4-0 record.

But to get to that 4-0 record was no small feat, as the Islanders took down CIF state open playoff qualifier Edison High School.

In their match versus Edison, things would start a bit rocky as Edison would

It’s still a bit early in the season to know how the boys and girls track teams will fare when the league championships and CIF finals come around in May. However, based on the results from the Viking Invite last Saturday, hosted by La Jolla High School, the girls 4x100 relay team should be a strong contender.

Running against mostly larger teams, Charlotte Kuite (10), Lindsey Balsley (11), Micaela Gistaro (9), and Tatiana Potter (11) placed second in the 4x100 and third in the sprint medley relay.

For the last 12 years, beginning with the 2011 track season, Mt. Carmel High School has hosted a meet for just distance runners and field events. Sprints and hurdles are left out to make room for more heats of events over 400 meters.

Our team is more sprint-oriented this season than usual, but we took a handful of field event athletes and a few participants in the 1600-meter run.

First impressions are always important. And in the first week of play in their 2023 season, the Coronado High School baseball team certainly left a strong impression. 

With their second-round loss to Point Loma, the Coronado High School boys soccer team’s season may not have ended as they hoped. 

Every team wants to start the season with a win. Get that good feeling in the bones. No matter the margin, you want to come away with that W.

Well, in their 2023 season opener, the Coronado High School girls lacrosse team brought home a win in the most dominant way possible as they torched Santa Fe Christian by the final score of 19-2.

Smell that in the air? Oh yeah, folks, it’s the sweet smell of baseball season rapidly approaching. And while everyone knows of the Padres preparation for their upcoming season, another team in town is set to start their 2023 season this week. The Coronado High School baseball team.

Led by eighth-year and two-time CIF Champion, Manager Morgan Cummins, the Islanders look to make waves again this season.

Get ready to hoist another championship banner because your Coronado High School girls water polo team are CIF DI Champions once again.

The Islanders took care of business in the championship match with relative ease this past Saturday night when they took down Valhalla High School by the score of 7-3.

And while a four-point margin of victory may not seem like dominance, don’t be mistaken. This is a game the Islanders dominated in nearly every phase.

To say the result of the Coronado High School girls soccer team’s CIF DI quarter final match was a shock, may be a bit of an understatement.

For the Coronado High School boys soccer team, there may have been no more complicated way to end their season this past Saturday night. 

They say the upsets are saved for March. But for the Coronado High School boys basketball team, the madness knocked a bit earlier than they had hoped as the mighty Islanders fell to Mt. Carmel High School 53-50 in the opening round of the CIF DII Playoff Bracket. 

Every team wants to head into the playoffs hot. No question. Playing your best ball at the right time is more critical than any early-season success.

So for the Coronado Islander girls soccer team, picking up two wins would give them that much-needed heat check before the start of the CIF DI Playoff run.

Chin up, kid. A timeless saying often muttered to teams, players, or athletes after a grueling or heartbreaking loss.

It’s hard to hold back the smiles if you’re a Coronado High School boys basketball fan, which I’m hoping is all of you on this island.

This past week was Senior Night for the Lady Islanders water polo team. In what has been a strong 2023 season that has seen the Islanders work their record to 7-5 heading into the week, the team hoped to pick up another W for their three departing seniors.

Honored before the game for the time and contributions to the girls water polo program would be the trio of Abby Reyes, Tayah Bubulka, and Sofia Goikoetxea.

Coronado’s opponent for the night would be no pushover, as they would be facing off against one of the projected top seeds in the CIF Open, La Jolla High School, who entered the contest with a record of 18-7.

The home stretch for the Coronado High School boys soccer team was going to be critical. With just three games left to play in the regular season and their status of being an open division or division one playoff team still up in the air, wins were needed more now than ever. 

What sport combines the tackling of football, the endurance and speed of soccer, the eye-hand coordination of lacrosse, and the sheer physical and mental toughness of them all? That’s right. Rugby.

The Coronado High School (CHS) Girls Rugby Club played three games in a tournament at Mission Bay High School on January 28. Small in number and big in

For the past few seasons, meetings between Coronado High School’s girls soccer team and Cathedral Catholic’s team have been absolute classics. 

The matchup of the Coronado Islander boy’s basketball teams versus University City last week was an important one. 

On Tuesday, January 24, the Coronado Islander boy’s soccer team took the pitch with just a little more to play with than usual as it was senior night for the boys in green in white. 

The seniors that were honored included: Sam Cahill, Gabe Littrell, Emilio Rassvetaieff, Nick Lorr, Dylan Groeneveld, Julio Miyazaquil-Lopez, Logan Eastlick, Andrew Bear, Dario Piagentini, and Conner Little. 

With their seniors honored, there was just one thing left to do to make it the perfect night for the soon-to-be 2023 Coronado High School grads; win the dang game.

The Coronado High School girl’s water polo team was looking to right the ship when they came into their match versus long-time rival Bishops High School.

After suffering back-to-back losses to both Clairemont High School and Schurr High School, the Islanders desperately needed a win.

But sadly for the Islanders, it would not

As mentioned in last week’s edition of the Eagle, the Coronado High School girl’s soccer team has been piecing together another strong season here in 2023.

The Coronado High School girl’s basketball team has continued to battle here in 2023. Most groups in San Diego County, if not the entire United States, would have packed it in and not even attempted to grow or progress after starting the season 1-13.

What makes a rivalry great? Is it the history, the bad blood, or the fan base’s general indifference toward each other. Whatever qualities you deem to make a great rivalry, you will undoubtedly find them etched into the fabric of the rivalry between Coronado High School and Point Loma High School.

And on Thursday, January 19, that bitter rivalry was again renewed as the Coronado High School boy’s soccer team went toe to toe with the Pointers.
