Boys Basketball:
GHS’ big three, which is made up of Colton Gray, Chris Lee and Benji Holt, played together this week for the first time all season.
And the result was a Glendora Tournament championship.
But it didn’t come easy.
GHS took a nine-point lead into the fourth quarter of Saturday’s title game.
To their credit, Bishop Amat outscored Glendora, 14-5, in the fourth period to force overtime.
But that’s when Colton Gray took over.
Gray scored seven of GHS’s nine points in overtime, and Glendora defeated the Lancers, 59-54.
Gray finished with a game-high 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Max Hilgenfeldt chipped in with 16 points, and he was named the tournament’s MVP.
Eliseo Chavez led Amat with 14 points.
Matt Rodriguez and Rayshaun White contributed 13 points apiece in Saturday’s loss.
Chris Lee completed his comeback week with nine points for the Tartans.
Elijah Regan earned his spot on the all-tournament team.
Up next: GHS will host Redlands East Valley on Friday at 6:30.

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 […]
Photos by Cyara Vasquez Baseball Bonita finished out their regular season schedule with a 7-6 victory at Glendora. The Tartans held a 6-4 lead, but the Bearcats scored three runs in the top of the fifth inning, and they held on for a one-run victory. The Palomares League champs went 14-1 in league games. Of […]
Baseball: And your 2024 Rio Hondo League champions are….the San Marino Titans. Trailing 2-0, SMHS scored single runs in the bottom of the fourth, sixth and seventh innings to edge La Canada, 3-2, on Thursday. Tomas Bilvado went 4 1/3 scoreless innings and he allowed just one hit. Bilvado issued a pair of walks, and […]
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. Claremont’s Caleb Fong & Mateen Ghafarshad faced their fellow Wolfpack teammates, Liad Geldwet & Josh Bonner. Fong & Ghafarshad cruised in a 6-0 and 6-1 victory in the finals.
