But the Saints, coached by Kelsi Walker, also excelled in the classroom.

“Our girls basketball team won the CIF Academic Team Championship for the second year in a row,” said Athletic Director Eric Olson.

The team was honored at an Angels game this week. The girls golf team was runner-up for the same award, Olson said.

“Our team GPA was 3.91,” Walker said.
