The school is getting a synthetic turf field with a cork base and blue all-weather track, a multi-million dollar project.“We’re looking forward to turf,” said Mustangs football coach Jubenal Rodriguez. “It’s going to be an awesome asset to the school, for all of athletics, not just football.“It’s an understatement when I say there’s a lot of excitement brewing at Monte Vista Christian.”. The target date for completion of the field is the end of December/early January.“While we did save money starting the renovation in the fall, we are taking the opportunity to honoring our wonderful donors starting earlier,” Mustangs athletics director Matt Coleman wrote in an email.Discussions for a new field began in the spring. The football team learned ” a month or two ago” that it would be getting new turf midseason, Rodriguez said.The news initially didn’t sit well with all the Mustangs, especially its senior class. They’ll finish with just one game on campus this season since their Aug.
30 game against Sobrato was canceled due to a power outage at the field.“Some kids were upset,” Rodriguez said, “They’ve faced some adversity early. But they weathered the storm and followed the coaches’ lead. We’re focused on controlling the controllables.”. TKA is under the direction of Pete Lavorato, who coached Sacred Heart Prep to state championship games in 2013 and 2015 and won five CCS titles before adding a sixth crown with the Knights last season. The Knights (1-0) are ranked No. 178 in the state by maxpreps.com. MVC (1-0) checks in at No.
459.Rodriguez, who coached Gilroy to the CCS D-V title in 2017, said it’s an honor and blessing to stand on the opposite sideline from Lavorato. It’s also a tremendous opportunity for him and his Mustangs.“They have a legendary coach,” Rodriguez said. “It’s a dream come true to coach against him. It’s a blessing to be standing on the opposite sideline from him.
We have to dot our I’s and cross our T’s because not much gets by him. I would not doubt Pete Lavorato. And I wouldn’t doubt MVC. We’re up-and-coming. I have the utmost confidence in my team. Our kids are well prepared.”MVC’s two other home games — Oct.
Alisal, and Nov. Seaside — will be held at Watsonville. Both games start at 7:30 p.m. The Mustangs will celebrate their homecoming against Alisal. IF YOU GOThe King’s Academy at MVCWhen: Saturday, 7:30 p.m.Where: MVC School.

Typed Speech Due: Monday, November 25, by 3 pmPrompt: Sands of Time: The Need for a 'Maladjusted' AmericaThe topic of the American dream was a centerpiece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.' S concern for America.
On three different occasions, at least, Dr. King spoke about his dream for America – June 6, 1961, commencement address, at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania; August 28, 1963, March on Washington demonstration; and February 5, 1964, lecture series, at Drew University, in Madison, New Jersey. He reiterated the idea that America was 'essentially a dream, a dream yet unfulfilled.'
Emphasizing the importance for 'all men of all races. to live together as brothers,' Dr. King presented paradoxes of political and social inequity, pointing out that America had been schizophrenic, 'tragically divided against itself.'
Among the recurring themes in Dr. King's American dream speeches, one was that 'America, as a first class nation, could no longer have second class citizens.' Over 50 years later, America's issues of political and social inequity still impede the dream from being realized. The upcoming 2020 election is the center stage of discussion, where this range of political and social issues is being addressed to improve the political and social inequities in America.
The plight of the homeless, and health care disparities here in California and throughout the nation, increased visibility of police brutality, immigration and the border wall, and the petitions before the Supreme Court requesting it to address and resolve broad matters of discrimination related to the rights of the LGTBQ community are a few of these issues. These issues and other political and social inequities remain as calls for individuals to act, despite having varied opinions on political or social positions about the best ways to fulfill the American dream.In a five minute speech, briefly identify any one paradox of political or social inequity that Dr.
King addressed in one of his speeches on the American dream and then analyze how that type of issue still exists today.In this climate of paradoxes of political and social inequity, what are you doing or planning to do to contribute to the discussion to reduce political and social inequity in America? What examples can you point to during your educational and work experiences that move America toward fulfilling the American dream, toward being, as Dr. King noted, a part of 'a maladjusted' America?Resources:Each of the following three hyperlinks will direct you to any one of the three speeches mentioned above:.
