NVC men’s golf to play in Northern California Regional Championships, May 5-6
By MARTY JAMES martyjames.sports@gmail.com
AMERICAN CANYON – Jaxen Perryman and Tyler Momono are having the time of their life playing on the men’s golf team at Napa Valley College.
As freshmen, they have gone about helping the Storm win the Big 8 Conference North Division championship. Along the way, the Storm has also won seven tournaments during the conference season and have emerged as one of the top teams in Northern California.
“It's been great. Not playing competitive golf all last semester and being able to come here, being able to kind of show what I can do out on the golf course, it's been a lot of fun for me,” said Perryman, a mid-semester transfer from Cuesta College-San Luis Obispo.
“And just on top of all of that, winning the Big 8 Conference (North Division), helping out with that, it's pretty cool. It's been a good time. I'm excited to come back next year and do it again, and to finish out strong this year, too.”
It’s been a great experience – all the work that has gone into the spring season – for Momono.

NVC baseball to honor sophomores at team event, following regular season
By MARTY JAMES martyjames.sports@gmail.com
Derek Mayer is going about honoring the sophomores on the Napa Valley College baseball team a little bit differently this year. Instead of a traditional “Sophomore Day,” prior to the Storm’s final home game, Mayer and his staff will take time to recognize those players at a team event, following the regular season, on May 3.
“We'll have a ‘Sophomore Day’ next Friday, to celebrate the guys putting in all the hard work over the past couple of years. It will be a nice catered party to send them off to their next destination,” said Mayer, who’s in his first year as the Storm’s head coach.
