Armchair refereeing this game, two things stand out about this play. (1) Attacking player #14 in white jersey started this play in an offside position, so however she affected play, there should be a flag. (2) Though not intentional, she acted recklessly in her collision with the goalkeeper #00 in black jersey—note how her hand hit the goalkeeper in her face after the keeper had deflected the ball.

Friends of Lowell members, who are also Lowell Alumni Association board members, “are both litigious and focused on preserving Lowell [High School]’s status quo" and have moved $250k in a potential litigation fund to sue SFUSD.

Friends of Lowell co-founder Lee Cheng, praised “brave young man” Kyle Rittenhouse upon his acquittal for shooting dead two people in Wisconsin.

@mayanak

I'm sure was a much different place when you went there than when I did but I still have a great fondness for my time there.

It's the only educational institution that I donate $ to because, as opposed to the various post-secondary schools that I went to, I think that it needs and deserves it the most.

Any other grads out there?

Class of 1967 here. One of the 1st classes to enroll in and graduate from the campus on Eucalyptus Drive.

You can find a pretty good history of the school on Wiki.
