The Canyon Middle School boys soccer team are the Athletes of the Week after they won the SACMAL championship match at Castro Valley High School stadium on Thursday, October 14, while finishing the season with a perfect record. The Condors beat the KIPP Griffins 3:1 behind goals from Matias Nunez, Jonah Soriano, and Max Fruin in a very competitive match under the stadium lights. This was the first middle school season following last year’s shutdown of middle school athletic competitions so the team was excited to resume matches with their fellow student-athletes across the league.
