Flag Football:
Western Christian secured a first Ambassador League championship in its inaugural season.
But it didn’t come easily or without drama.
The Lancers scored on their first two drives to take a 13-0 lead.
To their credit, Linfield Christian battled back and nearly knocked off WCHS.
Trailing 20-13, the Lions scored with 4:40 to play, but they weren’t able to convert on the extra-point attempt.
LCHS would get the ball back with 1:19 in the second half.
And any hopes they may have had in sharing a co-Ambassador League title with WCHS was dashed when Cass Serna intercepted a Linfield Christian Academy pass on a fourth-down play, and just 40 seconds showing on the scoreboard.
Maliyah Estrada completed 18 of 26 for 203 yards.
The Lancers’ freshman tossed three TD passes and one interception.
Estrada reached the insane 100-TD pass plateau.
Bailey Osborne led WCHS with nine receptions for 108 yards, and that included a 45-yard TD catch late in the second half.
Mikaela Burchell had 56 receiving yards on five catches and one score.
Grace Galdamez had a 19-yard receiving TD.
touchdown reception of 19 yards.
Josie Mendez had a sack for the Lancers defense.
Up next: The Lancers will receive their first-round playoff opponent on Saturday morning at 9.

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 […]
Photos by Tim Lunney and game info/stats from Harry Joe Football: The magical and historic 2024 season has finally come to an end for the Rio Hondo Prep football program. Vanden stopped RHP running back Noah Penunuri just short of the goal line on a 2-point attempt in overtime to defeat RHP, 42-41, at Long […]

Glendora got off to a great start, outscoring Amat, 24-9, […]
