Unfortunately, they were looking in the wrong place as the La Jolla Country Day Torreys hammered the Santa Fe Christian Eagles 11-1. It was a very close game until the bottom of the fifth, where it really got away from Santa Fe Christian.

Opinion: La Jolla High School needs to fix accessibility for disabled

La-Jolla-High-School-FI

I attend La Jolla High and was also interested to read about the changes principal Dana Shelbourne has made to upgrade the campus. I have a different viewpoint. Accessibility. In a non-disabled person’s mind, that word lacks meaning, but in a disabled person’s mind, the word “accessibility” is everything. Accessibility is how he or she is able to live his or her life as normally as possible.
