Girls Basketball:
When La Salle opened its 2023 Del Rey League schedule with a five-point loss at St. Paul, some might have wondered what was wrong with the Lancers.
The defending league and CIF-SS champions had lost two of their last three games after starting the season 15-0.
Fast forward 17 days, and La Salle in not only on a five-game win streak, they just paid St. Paul back, 47-44, on Thursday night.
Even better news?
The Lancers now sit atop the Del Rey League standings at 4-1 with Bishop Montgomery, and La Salle already has a road victory over the Knights.
But back to Thursday’s three-point victory over a very scrappy St. Paul program.
Casey Higgins and Audrey Chen had 15 points apiece.
Gloria Barrera led St. Paul with 14 points, and both Danni Alvarez and Loretta Aguirre-Colmeneco chipped in with 10 points apiece.
The Lady Lancers and Swordsmen hit four 3-pointers apiece.
La Salle was 5-of-10 from the free-throw line, while St. Paul was 14-of-22.
Up next: The Lancers travel to Campbell Hall on Tuesday at 6 in a nonleague contest.

Baseball: Maranatha will enter the CIF-SS playoffs having won their last seven games. The Minutemen finished out their 2024 regular season with a 3-2 victory over Valencia. Owen Brunsmann was charged with one run on three hits over two innings. Brunsmann didn’t issue a walk and fanned two MHS batters. The Minutemen got two runs […]
College Baseball: Five weeks ago, Mt. SAC was 6-8 in South Coast Conference games and they weren’t on pace to earn a postseason berth. Five weeks later, the Mounties finished in second place after winning 10 of their last 11 games. MSAC tied Long Beach in second at 16-8 in conference, but the Mounties went […]
Baseball: It’s been an uphill climb all season, but the Ayala baseball program is better than its record would indicate. After Friday’s 14-4 beatdown over their visitors from Claremont, the Bulldogs finished 10-5 in Palomares League games. AHS will enter the postseason on a six-game win streak. Ayala out-hit Claremont, 17-8. And it should be […]

Baseball: Last year, Etiwanda swept Damien in the final week of the regular season, and it cost the Spartans the Baseline League championship. Fast forward to 2024, and DHS secured an outright Baseline League title thanks to two consecutive wins over the Eagles. Trailing 2-0 in the top of the second inning, Damien scored five […]
Photos by RT Tolentino Baseball: Diamond Bar played the role of spoiler on Thursday at South Hills. The Brahmas shut out the Huskies, 1-0, with a run in the top of the seventh inning. South Hills entered the game tied for first place in the Hacienda League with Walnut. And the Mustangs defeated Los Altos, […]
Baseball: I’ll start by saying that Chino Hills absolutely earned its 4-3 Baseline League victory over their visitors from Los Osos. The Grizzlies had their chances on Wednesday, they made some mistakes on defense, and they came up short. The Huskies should be commended for securing the No. 3 seed out of the very tough […]
Boys Tennis: Claremont (doubles), Ayala (singles), Glendora (singles) and Alta Loma doubles all went home Wednesday as Palomares League finals champions.
