The Bakersfield Californian announced its All-Area selections for the 2013/14 high school season. South Valley players were splashed all over the pages!! The list is long at twenty-nine All-Area selections, including Hannah Rehkopf (Bakersfield Christian HS), Co-Player of the year. In addition, South Valley players comprised eleven of the sixteen girls selected for the First Team. Graduating seniors, Tala Haddad (Stockdale HS) and Kate Hamilton (Garces Memorial HS) have been honored with Area First Team selections their Sophomore through Senior years.

We are also proud to mention our first All-Area boys’ selection, Teague Romero, playing at Frontier HS and coached at South Valley by Jeff LaForce. In the coming years, we expect to see a growing number of our South Valley boys join the ranks of Bakersfield’s great high school players!
