The Foothill Technology High School (Foothill Tech) girls basketball saw much success throughout the course of their regular season. The team finished with an even, 12-12 record, and tied for first place in the Tri-Valley League with a record of 7-1 which allowed them to advance to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) playoffs.

Unfortunately, their CIF season was cut short in the second round against Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School with a loss of 53-25.

Foothill Tech’s seniors, Petra Falcocchia ‘24, Alexa Taylor ‘24, Janae Dixon ‘24, Olivia Mowad ‘24 and Nisha Reddy ‘24, who were all celebrated during the annual senior night, held a strong leadership throughout the course of the season.

The Dragons were also recognized as Mowad, Taylor and Falcocchia were awarded first-team honors, followed by Dixon and Reddy who were both awarded second-team honors.
Falcocchia described the end of her season as a Dragon as “bittersweet.”

On the other hand, Coach Chuck Ferris described that the next year will be played as, “a different brand of basketball … probably one with a faster pace.”

With old and new pieces of the team leaving and joining, the Dragons hope to reach further into CIF in the upcoming season.
