Jair Valdovinos #13, played striker for Coach Jess Beaman and the repeat 3A/2A/1A-SD4 champion Bruin soccer team as a varsity starter for 2 years.

While establishing himself as an offensive force to be reckoned with league wide, Jair became an integral part of the Bruins offensive dominance and success.

Talking with BHHS varsity soccer Coach Jess Beaman, he told the Wild Coast Compass that after working hard in the off season, Jair became a confident player and assumed the leadership role on the team as captain that led by example with smart and fearless play.” coach Beaman said.

Aside from participating on a team that repeated as 3A/2A/1A-SD4 Champions, the list of achievements accumulated by Jair during his senior year is as impressive as it is long.
