Fremont Wrestling Continuing Strong Tradition 

Silicon Valley Voice Andrew Bensch

The Fremont Firebirds wrestling program has annually been one of the top teams in the Central Coast Section. Fremont has maintained a top-5 finish in the CCS year after year.

And it’s not just the boys getting it done; Fremont has had one of the strongest complements of girls wrestling each season.

Silicon Valley Voice Andrew Bensch

The Fremont Firebirds varsity volleyball squad earned some revenge with an impressive straight-sets win over the Santa Clara Bruins on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Back on Sept. 23, the Firebirds fell to Santa Clara in a grueling five-set marathon. In the rematch on their home court, though, the Firebirds managed to make quick work of the Bruins, winning 25-22, 25-17, 25-17.
