Girls Athlete of the Week: Stella Hsieh finished her run at Maranatha on a high note. That doesn’t just include her individual success. She became the leader of the program’s youngest and most inexperienced roster in at least a decade. And somehow, Hsieh and her teammates went undefeated en route to another Olympic League championship. […]

Photos and game info/stats from Josh Thompson Boys Water Polo: San Dimas didn’t just win their first-ever CIF-SS (Division 5) boys water polo championship on Saturday at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center in Irvine. They did so in dominating fashion. SDHS got out to an early two-goal lead and cruised to an 11-6 victory […]
Football: Talk about a signature victory for the Rand Holdren era. In 2021, the Maranatha football program went 1-7 in his MHS head coaching debut. Fast forward one year, and the Minutemen are the SGV area’s lone unbeaten program (11-0-1). With that said, none of the first 10 victories in 2022 hold a candle to […]
Thanks to Ryan Tomey for the photos, game info and scoring plays Football: It doesn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to understand just how valuable the return of a healthy Devyn Turner has been for the St. Francis football program.

Girls Tennis: Thanks to Maranatha tennis for this report: In the CIF-SS Division 4 playoffs, there’s #1 Mark Keppel and then there’s everyone else.

Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Considering how poorly the 2022 football season began, the fact that Covina is currently riding a four-game win streak into the CIF-SS Division 10 quarterfinals was anything but a lock.
