Santa Barbara Prep Sports Seasons Are Off

The 2019-20 prep sports season is upon us as the fall sports — football, girls’ volleyball, boys’ water polo, girls’ tennis, girls’ golf, and cross country — are officially underway. The questions that have lingered all summer will soon be answered.

The time for talking and projecting has ended. Scores will be settled, pride will be swallowed, and bragging rights will be won. May the spirit of competition motivate all to put forth their very best.

DYNAMIC DUO: San Marcos High quarterback Ben Partee and wide receiver Josh Brown have a special connection on the field. The tandem eviscerated the Santa Paula secondary as Brown finished with 10 catches for 175 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-14 victory. Brown was named the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Athlete of the Week.
