The college’s athletics are in full swing and the Griffins are giving it their all in every game.
Every minute counts out on the courts and fields, as Grossmont gets closer to earning a spot in the
championships and comes home to celebrate wins for our school.
Football
The Grossmont football team started their season with a very bold entrance to their first home game that ended up being memorable with a 24-12 win against Antelope Valley. The players gave it their all and played a great game to give their fans and the school a valuable win. The team also gave their new Head Coach Mason Mitchell their first home win of their 2024 season. The Griffins hit a record for Grossmont College football with eight takeaways and had great plays by their offense that helped them secure their first home game victory. Since then, it’s been three big losses in a row against Citrus, Mesa and Palomar, but the team is looking ahead to its next home game against Riverside on Oct. 19.
Women’s Water Polo
Grossmont’s women’s water polo team has started its 2024 season on a high note with a winning streak of four games in their Golden West tournament by securing a 16-3 win against East Los Angeles College and 20-1 against Cerritos College 20-1. In their second tournament at Mt. San Antonio College, this time The Mountie Classic, the Griffins won both games against Santa Monica College, 15-2, and their last match of the tournament against Mt. Sac, 12-10. The game was very close between the two teams, but the Griffins were able to secure their win with a tight score of only two goals, which kept them on their four-game winning streak.
Men’s Water Polo

The team has been on a hitting percentage of .191, with an overall of 9-6 for this fall season. The Griffins were able to get the win and sweep Southwestern College 3-0. This season will allow them to compete again with Mesa College after their face-off in the finals.
Women’s Soccer
Grossmont Women’s Soccer is back and the team got its season off to a rocky start with its first game against LA Harbor, 0-3.
