Hanford isn’t just a town; it’s a tradition. 🏛️🏆
Today’s parade was about so much more than a single trophy. It was a celebration of the excellence that defines our history and the bright future of the young leaders carrying the torch. We are truly overwhelmed by the “Sixth Man” energy our community brought to the streets today—you are the backbone of this program.
Huge gratitude to Adventist Health and Kings Direct MD for your longstanding commitment to our athletes.
Thank you to the @cityofhanford, @hanfordparkscommunityservices, hanfordpd, and @hanfordfiredepartment for a celebration we’ll never forget.
We appreciate Dr. Rosa and the District Office, as well as President Alicia Martella and Trustee Lisa Chavarin, for being “all in” since day one.
To Principal Rogers and AD Snyder: thank you for turning “crazy ideas” into a State Championship reality. To our incredible teachers and staff: thank you for ensuring our athletes are scholars first. It takes a village to build champions, and we have the best one in the Valley.
Go Bears! 🐻💍
You’d be right! My dad is one of my assistant coaches and my mom manages our book! I hope to continue to make them proud! 🙏🏽
Truly appreciate the honor, couldn’t be possible without my family, coaching staff and of course my amazing athletes! 🐻
