Football
It was an outstanding Homecoming night on Saturday, with varsity football defeating Santa Cruz 23-13 – in front of what some say was the largest crowd to witness a Harker football game on Davis Field. Freshman Demonte Aleem scored two touchdowns, while sophomore Anthony Contreras scored from a pass by classmate Nate Kelly. Senior Oisin Coveney was perfect on extra points as well. The team is now an impressive 4-1 as it travels to Oakland Saturday to face Emery High School in its second league match of the season.
