Flag Football:
When you hear “Beatty” and “football,” the first thought that comes to mind for area fans is obviously that of former APU and current Bonita football coach, Bo Beatty.
In just four games in the inaugural flag football season, however, it’s his 16-year-old daughter that is earning headlines.
Tressa Beatty has led Bonita to a 4-0 record, and none of the four wins has been more dramatic than Wednesday night.
The Bearcats trailed Yorba Linda throughout, including a 13-7 deficit well into the second half.
But late in the game, Beatty picked off her YLHS counterpart to give BHS one last shot at making a last-minute drive.
Beatty would finish the opportunity with a 12-yard TD run with 18 seconds to play, and the Bearcats secured a 19-13 victory.
The BHS junior tossed one TD pass and ran for two scores.
Beatty completed 16-of-26 for 139 yards.
Haley Kurrey led the BHS ground game with 61 yards on four carries.
Beatty rushed for 25 yards on five carries.
Kody McKinney carried the ball three times for 22 yards.
Brianna Sandmark led the Bearcats receiving corps with six catches for 52 yards.
Freshman Laney Sweeney had 33 receiving yards on three catches, including one for a TD.
McKinney caught three passes for 24 yards.
Laila Washington had a pair of receptions for 12 yards.
Kayla Heinlein led the BHS defense with seven tackles.
Up next: The Bearcats travel to La Serna next Wednesday at 3:30.
The Lancers have only played one game thus far, a 14-12 setback at Villa Park.

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 […]
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 […]
