Summer Edition: Parks & Rec's Warriors Prove To Be Too Much For The Opposition

With summer almost upon us, and high school sports shut down for the season, Sports Notebook will be featuring the games and competitions held at the Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center. These adult-played sports are all sponsored by the Agoura Hills Parks & Recreation Center. We call it our Summer Edition.

BASKETBALL

Sunday "C" League

• "Old School" was scheduled to play the "Kestrels" on Sunday in a regular season game. Unfortunately, due to an insufficient amount of players, "Old School" had to forfeit and take a loss towards its record. The "Kestrels" capture its first win with a current record of 1-2, while "Old School" drops in the rankings with a current record of 1-2 and looks to improve on attendance next week. 
• "CB" entered Sunday's match-up focused on remaining undefeated while the "McFlys" were searching for its first win in regular season play.
