In the Boys division, Citrus Hill has found themselves on top with a 6-4 record. Beaumont is right behind them with a 7-5 record. West Valley is in third place, their record 5-8. Behind them is San Jacinto High: they have 3 wins and 6 losses on the season so far. Hemet is sitting with a 3-7 record. Tahquitz is in the back of the division with a 0-11 record.
A loss of any kind at any time, is hard to take. A loss of the life of a beloved community leader is even harder to take. Losing two such leaders…both healthy just days before their deaths, and losing them in the closing days of the holiday season
The new year marks a new beginning as well, and with it, we are blessed to have a new mayor, Mayor Russ Brown in Hemet, and a new mayor in San Jacinto, Mayor Andrew Kotyuk. We were blessed several years ago with a new president and yet, disparate, divisive voices sought to divide our country instead of unite it. I find, unfortunately, the same thing happening here at home in our own cities of San Jacinto and Hemet.
