Boys Athletes of the Week:
What a ‘week one’ it was for Charter Oak’s Richie Munoz and St. Francis’ Jack Jacobs.
Richie Munoz, in his first start since transferring from La Salle, led COHS to a 38-24 victory over the defending CIF-SS Division 10 champs from Northview.
The Chargers’ senior threw for 370 yards and five TD’s.
Munoz had scoring tosses to Solomon Davis (14 yards), Isaiah Johnson (54), Jayden Alexander (7), Nathan Alvarado (20) and Zakkari Black (85) in Charter Oak’s season-opening victory.
He rushed for nearly 70 yards and had a potential sixth TD pass dropped in the east end zone at Covina District Field.
Jack Jacobs is off to a remarkable start to his senior year.
In two games, the Golden Knights offense has scored 93 points, and Jacobs’ nine TD passes are one less than his total for all of 2021.
On Friday night, Jacobs threw for 390 yards and five scores.
It was his 14-yard scoring strike to Jett McCullough with 20 seconds to play that lifted SFHS to a 52-48 victory at Mira Costa.
Jacobs threw two TD passes to Antonio Merlos and one each to John Calmette, Adam Sandoval and the game winner to McCullough.
Up next: Charter Oak and St. Francis will be in action on Friday night.
The Chargers host Glendora (0-2), and the Golden Knights travel to Long Beach Millikan (1-1).
Baseball: St. Francis avoided a three-game Mission League sweep on Friday. But they had to work overtime to accomplish that feat. The Golden Knights edged Crespi, 4-3, in nine innings. Diego Velasquez got the loss after allowing one run on two hits over two innings. Velasquez walked one and fanned three St. Francis batters. Jordan […]
Baseball: Marshall Fundamental will have to settle for third place in the Mission Valley League. The Eagles needed wins over Arroyo, El Monte and Mountain View, and they had to count on some assistance from South El Monte to defeat Arroyo next week if the boys from Pasadena were to secure the MVL’s No. 2 […]
Photos by Conrad Hunziker III Baseball: Muir secured its second two-game Pacific League sweep of the 2024 season. The Mustangs never trailed in Friday’s 9-2 victory over Glendale. MHS out-hit GHS, 8-4. Conrad Hunziker IV went the distance and allowed a pair of unearned runs on four hits. Hunziker issued three walks and struck out […]
Photos by Gwen Pointer Baseball: Charter Oak controls its own destiny. After splitting the two-game Valle Vista League series with Covina, the Chargers can finish as high as second place. COHS claimed an 8-5 victory over their visitors from CHS. Marcus Reese went six innings to earn the win, and he allowed a pair of […]
Photos by Beth Oualline Editor’s Note: Ayala doesn’t post their game stats online. Softball: Ayala will win another Palomares League championship. But Bonita will enter the playoffs on a high note. After a pair of Palomares League losses to the reigning champions, the Bearcats finally got over on the Bulldogs. BHS scored seven runs in […]
Baseball: In 2022, Northview ended the longtime San Dimas reign atop the Valle Vista League standings. Perhaps it was fitting that the Saints swept the Vikings this week to secure a second consecutive VVL championship. SDHS defeated NHS, 16-2, on Wednesday, and 5-0 on Friday. With two games to play, San Dimas has a three-game […]
Baseball: There’s a reason Bonita’s closing in on a third consecutive Palomares League championship. And it’s called pitching. The Bearcats just completed a three-game sweep of Claremont by scores of 2-1, 13-1 and 2-0. BHS got a complete-game effort from Camden Farina on Monday, and six innings from Jayden Rodriguez-Bernal on Wednesday. Fast forward to […]
Editor’s Note: For some reason, Upland doesn’t post their roster on MaxPreps, Scorebook live or the school’s official sports site so I could only list names that I could find. Softball: Twenty-seven days ago, Upland handed Etiwanda its first loss (4-1) in Baseline League play. Fast forward to Thursday, and the Eagles got payback in […]
Photo of Malachi Dharmaratne courtesy of Amanda Lin Boys Tennis: Thanks to Maranatha tennis for this report: Playing their third match in three days, and after two intense, hard-fought losses, the Minutemen came into today’s match physically and mentally fatigued. But one mantra continued to echo throughout the team, “Win this for Malachi.” Today was […]
