As a sports writer I get to attend many games, matches and meets at
many facilities. At one time during my tenure, Ramona had the
reputation as having the worst facilities in the conference if not the
CIF (California Interscholastic Federation).
Times have changed for the better. We now have one of the best stadiums
in the CIF. Our baseball field is player friendly but not as spectator
friendly as other ballparks.
It took lawsuits and legal battles, but our softball field is one of the best on-campus facilities in the Valley League.

Breann Stevens, and Madi Lanz swam back-to-back events.
