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 conversion and the win.
However, Mykayla Weathersby applied a lot of pressure as a blitzer, and the CHS quarterback threw an errant pass.
That allowed the Eagles to take a knee one time and bleed the clock dry.
Offensively, Ellie Fitzpatrick carried the load with 85 rushing yards for EHS.
A pair of star freshman, Mariah Wakumoto and Aliana Rodriguez, had receiving touchdowns for Etiwanda.
Shelby Hong took a majority of the snaps and tossed a TD pass to Rodriquez.
And Casey Vazquez found Wakumoto for the other score.
Chino’s Angelina Gamboa completed 28-of-38 for 269 yards.
Gamboa tossed a pair of TD passes and no interceptions.
Emma Sandoval (6-for-51), Isabella Lane (4-for-53), Chelsea Mulcahy (3-for-47 & 1 TD), and Rylee Valenzuela (5-for-48) combined to catch 18 passes for 199 yards and one score.
Up next: The Eagles will host ML King on Saturday evening at 5.
Box Score:
C: 0-12-(12)
E: 6-7-(13)
Records: Chino (13-9); Etiwanda (20-6)

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, […]

Trailing by two at the break, the Bearcats outscored the Saints, 31-23, in the second half to pull away. Lexi Mercado scored 14 of her game-high 26 points in the second […]

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 […]
