This Orange County High School Baseball Team Just Won Its First League Title in 54 Years |
|

Sometimes things go according to plan, sometimes they fall apart before your eyes. That’s not just life, that’s baseball. And while the season ended for one Division 7 program this week, it was a season unlike any other for these Fountain Valley families. |

Recent federal relief funding the Capistrano Unified School District received as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, partly went to purchasing much-needed new instruments. |
