Girls Tennis: Maranatha’s improbable Cinderella run through the playoffs somehow continued with a thrilliing win over the Wildcats of Paloma Valley, who played their 3rd consecutive 9-9 playoff match. With Maranatha upsetting #5 Redlands East Valley in the Round of 16, 11-7, and Paloma Valley upsetting #4 Ontario Christian, 9-9, the semifinals was certain to […]
Football: Week 2 of CIF-SS Playoffs: CalPreps, which projected the exact 9-13 record for 210 Prep Sports programs in the first round, is now predicting that our area football teams go 6-3 this week in the quarterfinal round. Eight of the nine games have a spread of four points or less. This week, they have […]
Football: In spite of being 7-2 and winning the outright San Antonio League championship, the Claremont football program had to make a 65-mile drive to battle Hart at Valencia High School. But instead of whining about having to travel to face a fourth-place team from the Foothill League, the Wolfpack focused on the task at […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: Nathan Giles did a little of everything in Saturday’s 29-26 victory over Hart in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 7 playoffs. The Claremont quarterback scored on TD runs of 35 and 62 yards in the second quarter to give the Wolfpack a 22-7 lead over Hart at the […]

LSHS and Prep tied 9-9, but the Lancers advanced thanks to a 76-66 advantage in games. On Friday, La Salle edged Rowland, 10-8, to earn a […]
Football: Covina sure picked a good time to find their rhythm offensively. Four weeks ago, in their final nonleague contest, Claremont put a 43-23 beatdown on the Colts. Covina, though, would pick up consecutive victories over Pomona (41-21), Rowland (47-0) and Chino (49-27) to secure a Sierra League championship. In Friday’s first round of the […]
Football: Maybe a first-round road game was just the kick in the (butt) that St. Francis needed. After failing to clinch an outright championship last week at Loyola, SFHS had to settle for a three-way share of the Angelus League title. And the 1-point loss cost them about 74 miles. The Golden Knights traveled to […]
College Football: Mt. SAC is closing out the 2022 regular season in dominant fashion. After suffering their only loss of the season two weeks ago at Riverside City College (in OT), the Mounties have victories over Chaffey and Palomar by a combined margin of 69-16. Last night, MSAC cruised, 31-10, to improve to 8-1 overall, […]
Boys Water Polo: San Dimas had a long day on Saturday. But it was worth every second. The Saints took a 90-mile trip to Oxnard in the CIF-SS Division 5 quarterfinal round. SDHS trailed by one goal after the first period. San Dimas, however, would out-score Oxnard, 12-4, the rest of the way. Anthony Duenas […]
Football: Right about now, the Santa Rosa Academy football program can’t be too fond of Maranatha. In a span of three weeks, the Minutemen defeated the Rangers to win the Cottonwood League championship, and on Friday night, MHS ended SRA’s season with a 41-22 victory in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 13 playoffs. […]

Photos by Gustavo Vargas Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Saturday afternoon’s showdown between Citrus and Glendale was exactly what a conference championship game should look like. Both sides landed punches, did some trash talking and fought until it said 0:00 on the scoreboard. Citrus scored the game’s final 21 points in the fourth quarter […]
Football: Having wandered around both sidelines at Friday’s D-3 showdown between Charter Oak and Yorba Linda, the unanimous opinion was that two 10-0 programs shouldn’t have any business meeting up for at least another couple of weeks. But neither school had any say, and both programs focused only on the things that were in their […]
Game info from Harry Joe Football: While Muir (4-6) and La Salle (5-5) had home games in Friday’s first round of the CIF-SS Division 10 playoffs, Rio Hondo Prep (8-1) had to travel to Norwalk (9-1). And the Kares, who have 125 students on campus, gave the Vikings (2,025 enrollment) everything they could handle. In […]
Thanks to Maranatha tennis for this report Girls Tennis: When the 2022 season started, the Lady Minutemen set a few goals for themselves knowing they would be a stretch. But at least it was something to aim for. Among them were to finish in the top 3 in the Olympic League in order to make […]

Photos by Gus Vargas, & game info/stats from Randy Reams Football: Ayala’s season came to an end on Thursday night in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs. But the Bulldogs gave top-seeded Corona del Mar all they had before falling short, 30-23, at Newport Harbor High School. AHS had a 6-0 lead […]
Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Why the bleep is a 10-0 program having to travel in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs? Better yet, why would two 10-0 teams meet in the first round? There could be no logical answer to either question. But Charter Oak will indeed make the 23-mile […]
