Last Tuesday’s home win against Central Valley in the final Northern Athletic League match of the season solidified the Yreka High School girls’ tennis team’s domination of the conference. The Lady Miners ended the season in first place with a 7-1 record, followed by West Valley, which had a 6-2 record, both losses being to the Lady Miners.
The five teams in the NAL’s tennis schedule were Central Valley, Anderson, University Prep, West Valley, and Yreka. Except for Yreka, all the other teams are in the Redding area, where weather conditions and tennis practice facilities enable year-round play for the athletes.

Educators need to read Benjamin Madley’s “An American Genocide”. After that, the school and programs should reconsider a team name change along with their images/mascots.
Unless they subconsciously continue to support Native American genocide.
