After all numbers posted above, most impressive to me is All County Academic team, with a 5.0 GPA

[Caden Atkinson @CadenAtkinson40]

My Westlake baseball career has come to an end. Amazing run playing with best friends (81-23 record, 2 league championships).

Finished my senior year with Marmonte League MVP, Westlake POTY, All Ventura County First Team, Marmonte League Co-Champions, and Academic Achievement Award (5.0).

UC San Diego avoids being swept at No. 1 UCLA to open the season with an 8-7 series finale win. UCSD homered four times, including a pair from center fielder Michael Crossland.

The Tritons are a seriously tough out. Played close the whole weekend. Impressive showing.
