Boys Tennis: Thanks to Maranatha for this report: When they started the season, the rebuilding Minutemen set their goal of reaching the playoffs, which sounds odd for the reigning league co-champions, who have been league champions every year since Coach Arthur Hsieh took over the program in 2013. But after losing 5 of their top […]

College Baseball: LA Harbor got three runs in the top of the first inning at Brookside Park on Thursday. But that’s all the Seahawks would get off Coleman Mitchell and Nathan Mertens.
