Photos by Savannah Warner Football: South Hills jumped on Diamond Ranch for a couple of first-quarter TDs, and they would cruise to a 42-0 victory at DRHS. The Huskies totaled 446 yards of total offense and they were pretty balanced. Fabian Marez was an effective 11-for-13 for 167 yards. Marez tossed a pair of TD […]
Photos by Bianca Rodriguez Gonzalez Football: Citrus spotted visiting Saddleback a 20-0 lead in week two of the JC football season. And the Owls trailed by as many as 29 points (36-7) with just two and a half minutes gone by in the fourth quarter. The boys from Glendora put up 29 fourth-quarter points, but […]
Photos by Robert Ketterling Football: The University of La Verne football team didn’t serve as the most gracious host on Saturday. They welcomed an Azusa Pacific University program that hadn’t played a game since November 16th of 2019. And to say the Cougars offense was a tad rusty might be an understatement. ULV cruised to […]
Volleyball: Marshall kept its winning ways going on Friday. The Eagles cruised to a three-set sweep of their hosts from Bloomington. MHS won by scores of 25-13, 25-20 and 25-17. Marshall has won 13 consecutive matches, including a pair of tournaments (Montclair & Sierra Vista). Noelle Taylor led the way with 12 kills four blocks, […]

Kyra Diaz and Yzabella Valerio combined for a total of 14 out of the team’s 22 aces Victoria Zaragoza had another big […]
Photos by Jack Yamarone Football: Alta Loma entered its third game of the season on a down note. While the Lions were 2-0, they saw arguably their best athlete (Bryant Avila) go down with a broken collarbone at St. Francis last week, and they were without the services of another playmaker, Santiago Vasquez. Make no […]
Photo by Bianca Rodriguez Gonzalez Football: Three opponents up and three opponents down for the Bonita football program to start the 2026 season. The Bearcats have defeated Muir, Diamond Ranch and Western by a combined margin of 109-13. BHS headed back from Anaheim with a 41-7 victory. And they put the Pioneers away early. On […]
