Flag Football:
Bonita was held to 34 points under their season average through the first two games.
And yet the Bearcats still found a way to win.
BHS left Upland with a 12-6 victory on Tuesday afternoon.
The defense stood tall for the Bearcats, including the play of freshman Grace Tolan, who was called by Coach Mike Mann, “the player of the game.”
Tolan had a team-high six tackles.
Tressa Beatty completed 15-of-23 for 130 yards.
Beatty tossed one TD pass, ran for another and the BHS junior was picked one time.
Bonita only gained 31 yards on 12 carries.
Kody McKinney (15) and Haley Kurey accounted for 29 of those 31 yards.
Laila Washington caught four passes for 34 yards and had one TD reception.
Riley Navarro had three receptions for 31 yards.
Brianna Sandmark (3-for-20) and Maddy Simison (2-for-24) combined for five catches and 44 receiving yards.
Laney Sweeney had a 14-yard reception in Tuesday’s win.
Quotable:
Bonita coach, Mike Mann: “When Bonita needed to step up big on defense, Grace Tolan played out of her mind. It was special to watch. Upland is getting better and they are very well coached. No one is going to want to play them at the end of the year.”
Up next: The Bearcats host Yorba Linda (3-0-1) on Wednesday night at 7:15.

B: 6-6-(12)

Football: All-Baseline League: The last time Damien won a league championship, none of the current Spartans were more than three years old. It was 2009, and DHS shared the Sierra League title with Chino Hills. Both programs finished 4-1. Since joining the Baseline League back in 2014, DHS had never beaten Rancho Cucamonga. In fact, […]

Photos by Camryn Van Valkenburgh Boys Basketball: If there was ever a school to beat to make a milestone more special for a Bonita coach, it would certainly be San Dimas. And such was the case on Monday evening for Dr. Tim Godley. Bonita is nearing the .500 mark after Monday’s 57-33 victory over San […]

The marquee final had to be state qualifiers, Jacob Bell of Etiwanda versus Bonita Tristan Fernandez in the 150-pound title tilt. Fernandez defeated Bell, 15-10. Etiwanda finished second as a program, but they did not have […]
Boys Basketball: Pasadena crushed Muir on Saturday night. Oddly enough, it wasn’t considered a Pacific League contest. For some reason, every Pacific League competitor except for PHS voted to only play one game a year versus the other. So, Muir and Pasadena scheduled this nonseason clash to give each other a home game. PHS went […]
Girls Basketball: As odd as it might seem to read, Pasadena’s 56-41 victory over their visitors from Muir was not a Pacific League contest. The new and lame new league set up has everyone just playing one time each, so MHS and PHS had to schedule a nonleague showdown. And that took place on Saturday […]
