Encapsulating the energy and dedication it takes to become a champion, the Lady 'Lopes have netted themselves a second CIF title in basketball, and the Royals have kicked their way to their inaugural crown. "Both The Antelopes and The Royals have a lot of heart," Supervisor Barger noted in a statement, "These youth have demonstrated a commitment to excellence, to not giving up, and to remain focused, according to County of Los Angeles.
