Pittsburg high school’s tennis team has always been known for its big team and as of the ‘25-’26 team there is a record number of 85 girls all led by coach Thomas ARBUCKLE & assistant coach rio. in order to find out how this team manages a normal practice day we asked for a rundown of what an average practice day for the team looks like. Their practice starts at 4pm on the dot. They start off practice with a few warm up EXERCISES, all in rows of 9, each row is assigned a group of girls and a captain which will lead a portion of the warm ups. after warm ups depending on if they had a game the day prior, they do a debrief on how their matches went the day before. After warm ups or debriefs the girls will do things like ladder matches, practicing ground strokes or serves, hitting on a ball machine, or even playing games! Since there are numerous girls and a limited amount of courts, multiple girls practice on one court, ensuring everyone play time. at 6 pm the girls reunite to do a cheer to signify the end of practice. now that we know how an average practice goes lets rundown how an average game day goes. game days for pitt girls tennis are usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. before a match starts, varsity starters warm up on the courts to ensure they as prepared as they can be for their match. after warm ups the girls will meet up with the opposing school for introductions and cheers. then all matches begin, starting with the 6 varsity singles and 3 varsity doubles. after all varsity matches are complete jv begins to play the jv team of the opposing school and a portion of pitt’s jv doubles windup playing against each other as well. it is evident that this team is committed and all supportive of each others tennis journeys. lets continue to bring an outreach to this incredible team!

Activities around PHS

Published

on

Here around Pittsburg High we always have many activities that build community, friendships, and sets a perfect vibe. You might be wondering what makes PHS different from other schools when it comes to activities. Our events at Phs are like no other with our multi culture community every event is popping. We have very different and much more activities throughout the year unlike many other local schools. 

Some events Phs hosts that I have never seen before are events like our water fight at the beginning of the school year and our freshman bbq tailgate party featuring free hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks, prizes, games, and much more. These events are very good community building experiences especially for the freshmen that are new to the school. Our school is also hosting a Dia De Los Muertos celebration featuring food and activities that are all Dia De Los Muertos themed or related. There will also be folklorico groups from Phs and groups from the community dancing. Of course we have football games just like any other high school but our games are like no other school’s games that i’ve been to. Our student section is always lit with much pride. Don’t forget we have also one of the best award winning marching bands around. The half time performance is always very entertaining and amusing. Our band plays popular songs for example “tv off” by kendrick lamar and “I got 5 on it” by the luniz our band always puts on a wonderful show every game. We also have food vendors that no other schools have such as skiploni’s pizza and pnb smash burger that serve delicious food. The environment at every single Phs event is always welcoming, eventful, and most importantly fun and community building.

Do you like turn based games, strategically planning, immersive gameplay, and great storytelling? If so, Expedition 33 is one you should definitely try. It’s a new strategy game where you take your time to plan each move, instead of rushing into battle.

In Expedition 33, you lead a team of explorers into a dangerous mission into a strange new world. You’ll face tough enemies, take on a leadership role, explore mysterious landmarks unknown to you, and make changes that will alter the storyline. The turn based style of the game means that you don’t have to rush your moves, you strategically plan them, outsmarting your opponent, picking your best attacks, and finding smart ways to win, ultimately progressing you into this immersive story.

Think of it as Pokemon, instead it’s more realistic with more mechanics and new things to learn. What makes Expedition 33 stand out from other turn based games is how it mixes story and strategy. You get to know the characters and make decisions that affect what happens next. Every battle feels different, and the game rewards players that think ahead of time and work as a team.
