Pacheco, just a sophomore, played a key role for the Rangers as a midfielder. He scored 14 goals with 6 assists to help the team to a 13-2-3 record in a freelance schedule. Next year, he will be back to help the team in its first league season.
Having a new home field to play on also makes a big difference, he said.
"We got to use the new field for about half the season," Pacheco said. "It's way better than not having a home. I think we had a really solid season and we have a lot of players back for next year."
Acosta made a difficult transition in her first season of organized basketball. Although the team didn't win a game, she and her teammates have grown together as a unit and are excited to all be back next season.
"Even though we didn't win a game, it was nice to start off the first year of a girls basketball team," said Acosta, a junior. "This was my first time playing ever. I had to get used to the fast pace and intensity of the game. No matter what happened, we always kept a positive attitude looking forward to the next game."
Pacheco and Acosta each received a certificate from Menifee 24/7 and a Target gift card from Larry Nemelka of RE/MAX Diamond Realty.
