Flag Football:
Could Bonita be held to just 113 yards of total offense and still remain undefeated?
Yep.
The Bearcats got a 14-yard TD pass from Tressa Beatty to sophomore Haley Kurey in the first half.
And the BHS defense would do the rest in a 7-0 victory over GHS at Louie Pompei Memorial Park in Glendora.
Bonita’s defense didn’t just pitch a shutout, Kayla Heinlein, Brianna Sandmark and Leah Reynolds each picked a Glendora pass.
Heinlein had a team-high seven tackles.
Victoria Johnson had a big night with four tackles, including a pair of sacks.
Malia Misawa and Sandmark had three flag pulls apiece.
Beatty was 8 of 18 for 71 yards.
She had the TD pass to Kurey and one interception.
Kody McKinney led the BHS ground game with 18 yards on three carries.
Bonita had just 30 rushing yards.
Laney Sweeney (2-for-26), Riley Navarro (2-17) and Sandmark (2-12) combined for six receptions for 55 yards.
Bonita also got some help from Claremont.
The Wolfpack defeated Ayala, 31-14, at CHS.
That means BHS (11-0, 4-0) has a two-game lead over AHS (16-5, 2-2) with just two Palomares League games to play.
The Bearcats can do no worse than a Palomares League co-championship.
Paola Casas led the GHS defense with five flag pulls, while Sofia Freking and Hannah Lin had three tackles apiece.
Emily Husung picked off Beatty.
Rylee Franks was 9 for 16 for 94 yards and a pair of interceptions.
Olivia Martin had five catches for 56 yards.
Quotable:
Bonita coach, Michael Mann: “Our defense was the difference tonight. Victoria Johnson wasn’t going to let this team lose tonight. She left it all on the field. Right behind her was Kayla Heinlein, with another impressive performance flag pulling. The defense had our sideline and the fans hyped up. It felt like a home game the way everyone was cheering when we got stops. Glendora played hard and never gave up. We just made a few more plays than they did, but they should certainly be proud of their effort. Tressa’s pass to Haley Kurey ultimately was the difference.”
Glendora coach, Greg Bidoli: “Bonita is a very talented and well-coached team. I’m very proud of how our girls came to play tonight. We’ll move on and prepare for Ayala.”

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, […]

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 […]
