Male Athletes of the Week:
Adam Urena and Ike Udengwu III finished off their JC football careers on a high note.
And while Mt. SAC fell short on Saturday night in the first round of the playoffs, Udengwu was the game’s most dominant athlete.
Ike Udengwu III brought his Mounties back from a 32-17 second-half deficit to take a 34-32 lead with 10 minutes to play.
Fullerton would get a 2-yard last-second TD run to end Mt. SAC’s season, 45-41, at OCC.
But Udengwu completed 24-of-38 for 407 yards, including four TD passes, and no turnovers.
Udengwu hooked up with their big-play stud, Shemar Savage, on TD passes of 78, 52 and 22 yards.
He would also connect with Xavier Rawls on a 25-yard TD pass.
If that weren’t enough, Udengwu had a team-high 89 yards rushing, and a 21-yard TD run.
Adam Urena has rewritten many of the Citrus College passing records.
Urena set the single-season TD mark this year with 33, and he has a program-best 57 career TD passes.
On Saturday, Urena led the Owls to a 31-20 victory in the SCFA American Division Championship Bowl Game at Mt. San Jacinto.
And that earned the program their first 11-0 season in school history.
Urena went 17-of-26 for 269 yards and three TD’s, and the Citrus sophomore also had a 1-yard TD run.
Urena connected with Robert Vega (65 yards), Alex Vazquez (20) and Arden Napier (7) on scoring passes.

Baseball: In 2021 and 2022, San Marino went a combined 8-30-1. Fast forward to 2024, and the Titans are seeking a second consecutive Rio Hondo League championship. And this year, SMHS doesn’t want to share the RHL penthouse with South Pasadena. After Tuesday’s 3-0 victory over La Canada, San Marino holds a one-game lead over […]
Baseball: Maranatha continues to distance itself from the rest of the Olympic League. After Tuesday’s 8-2 victory over Village Christian, the Minutemen hold a four-game lead over Whittier Christian and Village Christian. MHS has resided in the Olympic League penthouse since 2018. The Crusaders actually had a 4-0 advantage in extra-base hits, but they weren’t […]

Baseball: South Hills is one more win from securing at least a share of the Hacienda League championship. The Huskies rode the arms of Matt Moreno and Matt Manzo to a 5-0 victory at Diamond Bar. And Walnut picked up a 3-1 road win at Los Altos, so SHHS and WHS are both 8-1 in […]
