When newly appointed Sedona Red Rock High head football coach Rob
Lezcano took the job on March 7, his visions for the program couldn’t
help but race through his head like a day at the Daytona 500.
In his short tenure as head coach, which started exactly two months
ago today, Lezcano has already identified his current talent at the
high school and his future talent at the local grade schools.
He’s made a Sedona football Web site; he’s hired his assistant
coaches; and he’s gotten 40 to 50 kids working out in the weight room
at 6 a.m. and after school.
If horse racing is the sport of choice to get your juices flowing,
then the 134th running of the famous Kentucky Derby is for you.
The only question is where can someone in Sedona go to participate
in the festivities without having to pay air fare to Louisville or
drudge through hotel reservations or traffic.
Well, the answer is closer than you might think. Stakes & Sticks
Sports Bar and Celebrity Grill will be taken over on Saturday, May 3,
by horse racing fans galore looking to make a quick buck, get a huge
rush or maybe just to take in all the excitement and sit down to have a
nice lunch.
The Sedona Red Rock High School softball team saw something it hasn’t seen a lot of this season — the seventh inning.
On Thursday, April 17, the Scorpions were tied with Parker going into the seventh inning and lost by one, 8-7.
With a 2-19 overall record, the young team isn’t used to making it
all seven innings nor is it used to being tied in the bottom of the
fifth.
The Broncs, who beat Sedona 9-2 on March 24 on its home field,
wasn’t expecting to have to put up such a fight, but the Scorpions came
out ready to play, Sedona’s first-year coach Brian Bergner Jr. said.
In the bottom of the first, with the Scorpions down 3-0, senior Kim
“Sosa” Desmond stepped to the plate and hit a double, bringing home
freshman Angelica Mlynarczyk, making it a 3-1 affair.
For the first time in Sedona Red Rock High history a track and field
athlete has made it to the show, or college that is, as senior thrower
Kali Gajewski signed a National Letter of Intent on Thursday, April 3,
and committed to the University of Colorado, a Big 12 Conference
affiliate.
West Sedona School baseball head coach Pedro Ortega Sr. and his team
knew from the get-go that the match-up between themselves and
Cottonwood Middle School on Tuesday, March 25, was not a conference
game but they still went out to compete and lost to the high-powered,
offensive-minded Lobos, 10-2.
