Raymond Roybal, has officially graduated from Grand Terrace High School after an impressive career in both academics and athletics. Raymond maintained a strong 3.5 GPA while balancing the demands of school and competitive baseball.
His baseball journey began when he was just 4 years old, playing in Grand Terrace youth leagues through age 12. During that time, Raymond helped his teams capture district titles as both a 10-year-old and 11-year-old player.
Like many young athletes, his final youth baseball season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The cancellation of that season was especially disappointing because he and his teammates had been preparing for a significant year at Veterans Park. Fortunately, many of those players reunited and continued competing together at the high school level.
After youth baseball, Raymond joined the GT Tribe Travel Baseball team under coach Mark Romo. Through the organization, he traveled extensively and competed in tournaments in Las Vegas, Arizona, and Omaha against some of the top players in the country. He also gained experience with the GBG Baseball travel team, MLB Academy, and Badlands Baseball.

At Grand Terrace High School, Raymond proved to be a versatile player, contributing at third base, shortstop, second base, outfield, and pitcher. He also enjoyed playing catcher whenever the opportunity arose.
One of the highlights of his high school career came during his senior season, when the Titans advanced to the CIF semifinals and faced Laguna Beach. Grand Terrace fell just short in a hard-fought 2–1 game, but Raymond says the experience left a lasting impression.
“I couldn’t be prouder of my team,” Raymond said. “The support from our fans throughout the season, especially during that playoff run, meant a lot to all of us.”
Outside of baseball, Raymond enjoys attending church in San Bernardino, spending time with family and friends, and fishing. When asked what motivates him most, he answered simply, “My family.”
Next fall, Raymond plans to continue his baseball career at Ohlone College in Fremont, California.
His personal motto is “Be the guy”, and he encourages others to “be the best version of yourself.”
We would like to congratulate our Titan for all his accomplishments and best wishes to Raymond as he begins the next chapter of his academic and athletic journey. After four standout years as a Titan, there is little doubt that his future will remain bright.
