Boys Athlete of the Week:
It wasn’t the start Rancho Cucamonga had hoped for.
The Cougars fell to 0-2 after losses to Murrieta Valley (35-19) and Orange Lutheran (45-14).
Keep in mind, though, MVHS is ranked 81st in the state (MaxPreps) and O-Lu is 17th.
Since week one, however, RCHS has won its last three games as they head into their bye week.
To get to 3-2 at the break, they needed a victory at Bishop Amat in a week-four showdown of power programs.
And in spite of losing their quarterback, Jacob Chambers, early in the second quarter, the Cougars grinded out a 21-19 victory in La Puente.
Keyonn Chatman, the running game, and Chatman’s offensive line did the heavy lifting after Chambers’ exit.
In all, Rancho Cucamonga carried the ball 43 times for 255 yards, and that included a pair of TD runs.
Chatman did the Lion’s share of work, gaining 151 yards on 25 carries.
Chatman also had a five-yard TD run in the second quarter.
Tyree Wilson (8-for-58 & one TD), James Strong (4-for-22) and Chambers (3-19) combined for 228 yards on the ground.
And because of their success, Rancho Cucamonga had an approximate seven-minute advantage in the time of possession battle.
Through the first five games of 2024, Chatman leads the Cougars with 392 yards rushing on 68 carries.
Up next: The Cougars host Upland on October 4th to open Baseline League play.

Girls Volleyball: Etiwanda didn’t allow a week off to affect their momentum. The Eagles entered Wednesday’s first round of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs having won 12 consecutive matches, including all 10 Baseline League contests. Well, make it 13 in a row. Etiwanda swept its visitors from Alemany by scores of 25-18, 25-19 and 25-18. […]
Flag Football: Imagine only getting five possessions in a CIF-SS Division 3 playoff game and still winning. That’s exactly what Etiwanda did on Tuesday evening. The Eagles held on for a 13-12 victory over their visitors from Chino. But it wasn’t easy. Chino scored with 30 seconds to play, and they went for the two-point […]

Thanks to Randy Reams for these game notes Flag Football: Ayala’s inaugural flag football season came to an end on Tuesday evening. The Bulldogs fell, 20-12, in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs at ML King in Riverside. Although it ended earlier than they would have liked, AHS had a remarkable first […]
Flag Football: San Dimas didn’t just win their first CIF-SS Division 3 playoff game in school history. The Saints did it in the most dramatic way possible. With the game tied at 13-13, and with two seconds to play, SDHS snapped the ball to Audrey Schlim. Schlim found Lacy Garcia on a 1-yard TD pass […]
MLB: The 2024 World Series is a dream come true for Major League Baseball. It pits two of the most storied franchises in what will be a ratings boon. And the series is sure to bring in a windfall of advertising dollars for MLB and Fox. Former Villa Park High School star Aaron Boone, the […]
