Recently, the College of Sequoias men’s basketball team made its first trip to the state finals since 2000. However, they were unable to secure a victory over the unbeaten West Valley team with a final score of 59-51.

The loss ended an 11-game winning streak for COS, finishing their season with an overall record of 27-6.
On the softball diamond, COS has been performing well with a five-game winning streak and an overall record of 19-7.
