Girls Athlete of the Week:
The Northview flag football program is just one win from becoming the first San Gabriel Valley area team to win a CIF-SS championship in this inaugural season.
This past week, the Vikings secured quarterfinal and semifinal round victories on Tuesday and Saturday.
Five days ago, NHS claimed an 18-12 victory over Artesia.
Just yesterday, the Vikings earned a spot in the D-5 finals by defeating Kaiser, 26-6.
Every team member in a Northview uniform has done their part in this historic run.
And a junior named Jaylene Esteves has played a starring role.
Over those two wins this past week, Esteves had five receiving TDs, and 211 all-purpose yards.
She also made a key defensive stop against Artesia.
For the 2024 season, Esteves has 28 TDs, and 2,000 receiving yards.
Up next: The Vikings will face Antelope Valley on Saturday at El Modena High School in the City of Orange.
The title tilt is set for 1.
The Antelopes (12-6) are coming off a 26-20 victory over Covina.
