Granite Hills open SoCal Regional play on Friday night
Granite Hills players celebrate with Parker Vance after his interception against Carlsbad during their CIF Division 1 playoff game at Carlsbad High School on Friday, Nov. 22, 2024 in Carlsbad, CA. “I think I’d be OK in the sprints,” the Granite Hills High School senior said. “I think I could run sub-11 in the 100.”And Vance is a very good baseball player.
A right fielder with a strong arm, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound Vance hit .299 last season with five homers, 17 RBIs and seven doubles on a team that was 22-8. In a semifinal playoff win over Carlsbad, Vance intercepted a pass in the end zone in the game’s dying seconds to preserve a win. “I like working hard and want to work on my explosiveness,” Vance said. “I only stole four bases last season. I want to be more explosive with my first step. I have the speed to steal a ton more bases.”
“Baseball is a year-round thing, but football is the priority now,” Vance said. “I had seven interceptions last year, and wanted to beat that this season.
