The Golden Hills School outing to Arco Arena was great fun with more than fifty of our kids running the court and scoring baskets for two hours prior to the Kings game. Kudo's to Athletic Director Geoff Kauppinen for organizing this great event.

Our kids great behavior caught the eye of Sacramento Bee sportswriter, Sam Amick, who included the following in his Kings Blog.

ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE, THE GOLDEN HILLS KIDS DO THEIR COUNTRY PROUD

The flag didn't touch the ground, and that's all that really matters right?

Kudos to the kids from Golden Hills School in El Dorado Hills for that. The energetic bunch who was escorted by athletics director Geoff Kaupinnen took part in a game on the Arco Arena floor by day, then held the American flag by night during the pregame national anthem.

In the interest of full disclosure, my father-in-law is a middle-school science teacher at the fine establishment. And as I learned in the brief time spent together with the students, there are about a dozen kids convinced that they - and no one else - are Mr. Blum's favorite pupil. - Sam Amick

The 7th and 8th grade girls' basketball teams have begun the season with some exciting play as well as a few victories.

The 7th grade squad is off to a 2-0 start with wins over CMP and Gold Trail.  Both games were exciting and well-played.  With only 2 weeks to get prepared for the season the girls have risen up to the challenge thus far.

The 8th grade team is currently 1-1 on the season.  They suffered a close 3 point loss to CMP, one of the top teams in the league and beat Gold Trail handidly by 14 points.  This 8th grade team is comprised of 3 veteran players along with some rookies that are beginning to mesh as a team.

Both teams resume play this week with home games against Herbert Green.  Next week they have home games against Marble Valley/Miller's Hill and a road contest at Pleasant Valley School.
