Colton High “Fact of the Day” – Feb. 25
The 1983 Field Hockey team on the field versus Marina High School.
Colton High School opened in 1895. It is one of the oldest high schools in the Inland Empire. In this daily feature, we celebrate Colton High’s rich history.
In 1983, the Colton High School varsity and junior varsity field hockey teams had a combined four sets of sisters playing together.
The sisters were Cynthia (12) and Linda Lopez (11), Jackie (11) and Zorina (11) Flores, Tammi (11) and Terri (11) Kenny, and Toni (11) and Dolly (9) Jimenez.
Tammi and Terri were the only sisters who were identical twins—one played JV and the other played varsity.
While there were natural differences between sisters, they supported one another. Toni Jimenez said, “I gave [Dolly] a lot of support knowing that she and I would do the best of our ability.” Dolly added, “When I tried out for hockey, Toni helped me a lot.”
