ECS staff report
ALPINE — The first known high school sports event to take place in Alpine occurred Tuesday (Aug. 16), as the host Liberty Charter Lions hosted Mission Bay at the Joan MacQueen Middle School gymnasium.
Although the Buccaneers swept the Lions (0-2) in three sets(25-17, 25-10,25-17), it did open a new era for both the community and as a favorable commodity, plus a possible permanent locale for the Literacy First program, which could, in theory,open a second school in unincorporated land just north of Valhalla High in Rancho San Diego.
Alpine residents have fought with the Grossmont Union High School District for more than four decades to build a public high school in the area.

EL CAJON — The delayed season opener of El Cajon Valley volleyball saw the Braves win their home opener in a sweep of visiting Lincoln.
ECVHS, which saw last week’s match cancelled by host Mable O’Farrell Charter, saw senior captain Martha Rivas, the libero, led the ballclub in digs in a strong defensive effort.
“We were a little rusty after needing a week to finally play,” said Rivas. “Otherwise, it was a pretty good effort – we can only get better.”
ECVHS is coached by Melinda “Mel” Hernandez, a former Braves standout (Class of ’13). She guides both the girls and boys programs.The assistant is Juan De Santiago.
