Woodland Hills : Calabash Kickballers Win Championship
Calabash Street Elementary School’s fourth- and fifth-grade kickball team has won the citywide kickball championship held in Carson.
The boys and girls team, representing the San Fernando Valley, went undefeated to take the title, beating Heliotrope Elementary School in Maywood, Nora Sterry Elementary School in West Los Angeles and Gate Street Elementary School in Lincoln Heights.
The latter school placed second in the competition.
Calabash coach Marc Ferris said that though his team has come close to winning titles in other sports in past years, this is the school’s first citywide title.
Ferris was assisted by Carlos Trujillo. The players were Armonde Baghdanian, Arthur Baghdanian, Calvin Davis, Jonathan Gibbs, Daniel Goodman, Mehrdad Hooshmand, Andy Koopongsakorn, Stuart Kozlenko, Farshad Manizani, Colleen McGrew, Jason Rebibo and Daniel Reyes. The team finished the season at nine wins and one loss.
