The final Unified basketball game was against Rancho San Juan on Tuesday, April 29. According to Athletic Director Jose Gil, this program shines a light on students who can be considered “different” and puts them in a position where they can feel included. “I think it's my funnest time of the year," Gil said. "These kids will spin with the ball, run with the ball, you know…everything goes, and it's their show.”

Like many other schools, Alisal recognizes coaches who have done a lot for the school and has a wall of fame for them. Without any update in 20 years, Athletic Director Jose Gil is looking to form a committee consisting of 2 members of the wall of fame, an administrator, 2 veteran teachers, and a student, to honor past coaches..
Coaching legends wall needs updating
Right before a track meet against Salinas high, Student Athletic trainers Rebecca Jimenez and Kristine Saldo tape the ankles of junior Angel Perez and sophomore Flor Amaya to prepare them for their meet. “It's pretty difficult to do the work and if the patient isn't cooperating as well. It’s also harder when they’re more hurt because they tend to be more sensitive when taping, but the process of the taping is to allow them to feel comfort and support on their ankle,” Jimenez said.
Student trainers provide vital support for athletes
Although being a student athlete can be stressful when it comes to balancing school, sports, and work, it can be a rewarding experience. Senior Jonathan Murillo Carillo managed to balance all three when he tried out wrestling for the first time this year. “ “When it comes to family events during the week I needed to sacrifice that because of volleyball games or wrestling meets to be there for the team,” Murillo said. “The only regret I have is not joining the sport sooner. I met so many awesome people and am sad it’s all coming to an end.”
Being an athlete means more than just playing a game
