Capital Christian High School's girls soccer team is the underdog in Tuesday's playoff match, but Athletic Director Suzanne Baker warned not to count the team out. The team is a "sleeper," Baker said. "We will see how they do Tuesday against Amador," she said in an email. Capital finished in the No. 3 spot in its league, while Amador is No. 1 in its league. The game is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at Amador, 330 Spanish St. in Sutter Creek.
The Cougar received offers from many colleges, according to a news report.

The local basketball standout has chosen a college, so what does his future coach think of him?
Capital Christian High School senior Matt Donlan will "play a big role in the future of South Dakota State basketball," his future college coach told a South Dakota newspaper.

"Matt's a guy that continues to get better and better because of his tireless work ethic, and we're very excited to add a player of Matt's character and talent this late in the recruiting process," Jackrabbit head coach Scott Nagy told the Brookings Register.

The Capital Christian Cougars shut down the Dixon Rams Friday at Raley Field 12-0 to close out the season. Junior Mauricio Dubon hit a solo home run at the Triple-A ballpark in the bottom of the fifth inning.
A big performance on a big stage topped off with a home run to remember can describe Capital Christian’s big victory over Dixon Friday as the Cougars’ varsity baseball team routed the Rams 12-0 at Raley Field.
