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 to set off a celebration.
However, plenty happened to set up the game-winning TD.
With 2:30 left in the game, Westminster picked a San Dimas pass at the 1-yard line.
Two plays later, Ashley Sandmark returned the favor and she intercepted the Lions quarterback to give the Saints another chance.
The scoreboard showed 58 seconds remaining, and in Westminster territory, Schlim completed a six-yard pass to Lacy Garcia.
Schlim kept the drive going with a 12-yard pass to Anelly Alba.
It put San Dimas just one yard from victory.
And as mentioned above, Schlim and Garcia extended the Saints season with the 1-yard hook up.
Schlim completed 12 of 18 for 166 yards.
That included three TD passes and one interception.
Faith Kearns caught three passes for 98 yards and one score.
Garcia finished with five receptions for 43 yards, including three TDs.
Sandmark caught three passes for 25 yards.
Alba totaled two receptions for 17 yards and Makenzie McMillin had 16 receiving yards on two catches.
Leiani Jaime rushed for 20 of San Dimas’ 27 yards on five carries.
Natalya Gardea led the Saints defense with six tackles.
Ave Mercado, Anelly Alba and Faith Kearns contributed four tackles apiece.
Up next: The Saints will host Highland on Saturday at 5.
The Bulldogs (20-6) survived a 38-32 shootout with visiting El Segundo.

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, […]

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 […]
