Football: The one SGV area program that has accomplished more in 2022, but gotten the least coverage or respect is the Azusa High School football program. And I won’t pretend the Aztecs schedule is anything that resembles a murderers-row, but they have decimated everyone that stands in their way. After Friday’s 70-0 beatdown of Workman, […]

Pictured: Covina’s Ronnie Ropke Football: To say Covina has found its stride offensively would be an understatement. The Colts began the 2022 season scoring 14, 14 and 12 points in consecutive losses to South Hills, Diamond Bar and Northview, respectively. Fast forward three games, and CHS has defeated Bell Gardens, Sierra Vista and Montclair by […]

Photos by Gus Vargas College Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Citrus College made some history on Saturday night.

Citrus took a 7-0 […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: It was both a trying and successful week for Bonita High School wide receiver-defensive back, Kevork Markossian, or Georgie, as most people call him. According to CalPreps, Bonita was projected to fall to the reigning CIF-SS D-10 champions from Northview by their score of 40-19. It was the third week […]
Girls Athlete of the Week: While the FSHA girls volleyball program is 15-13 overall, the Tologs are 4-1 where it counts. And that’s in Angelus League matches. FSHA didn’t have a great start to the week. In fact, they got swept in Monday’s Angelus League showdown at Notre Dame. But the Tologs would claim a […]

Story by Shaun Kelley & photos from RT Tolentino Football: Shortly before Thursday’s showdown with Northview, Bonita senior Georgie Markossian got a call that his mom was going into emergency surgery. That’s something no one wants to hear, and it would seem reasonable or even likely that Markossian would have difficulty dedicating 100 percent of […]
Photos by Gus Vargas, game info/stats by Zack Morton & Randy Reams, & video clips by Mark Sanchez Football: Although they no longer share a Palomares League rivalry for football, a Glendora-Ayala game rarely disappoints.
