Photos and game info/stats by Ryan Tomey Football: St. Francis entered Friday’s regular-season finale at last-place Crespi as the Angelus League’s second seed. St. Paul, however, who the Golden Knights knocked off two weeks ago in the league opener, did St. Francis a solid by defeating first-place Loyola, 36-35, in Los Angeles. And with its […]
Photos by Robert Ketterling Football: The Mountain West League and regular-season finale between visiting Alta Loma and Bonita got off to an odd start. The Braves got two first-quarter points off a safety. Bonita, however, would shut Alta Loma out the rest of the way and claimed a 34-2 victory. In the second quarter, Daniel […]
Photos by Gus Vargas Football: There were moments in Friday night’s Mountain West League showdown between visiting Ayala and Charter Oak, that had you not been aware of the score, one might have thought the Bulldogs weren’t faring too well. And that was based off the animation of the Ayala coaches on the east sideline. […]
Football: For the first time in school history, Glendora finished the regular season with a perfect 10-0 mark. The Tartans cruised past winless South Hills, 38-0, in a game that Braydon Brus didn’t play in, and the entire second half was played with a running clock. Jake Denerson had a big night, going 10-of-14 for […]
Photos by Susan Coulter Thanks to Harry Joe for the game info and stats Football: It should and it does seem ludicrous that a 9-1 football team isn’t a lock to make the CIF-SS playoffs. And yet that’s the scenario facing the Rio Hondo Prep football program. RHP cruised to a 56-14 victory over visiting […]

Hsieh was playing in the championship […]
Photos by Susan Coulter Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor When people talk about San Gabriel Valley football powers, Rio Hondo Prep would not come to mind. And to their credit, the Kares players and coaches wouldn’t expect to be mentioned in the same breath as St. Francis, Damien, Bonita, Glendora or any of the […]
Thanks to Maranatha for this report Girls Tennis: The first day of the Olympic League Tournament went largely as expected on this first day of play, as the top seeds in singles and doubles punched their tickets to the championship matches tomorrow. In singles, No. 2 seed, Maranatha’s Stella Hsieh (24-3 in league play), was […]
Baseball: For San Gabriel Valley area baseball fans, there is no question that the 2021 World Series has just a fraction of the intrigue it would have if the Dodgers had not fallen short. And while that makes sense, the show still goes on for diehard baseball fans, as well as those in the states […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: When Bonita and Ayala met up on Friday in Chino Hills, both programs knew the winner of that night would clinch at least a share of the Mountain West League championship. And there was one guy that did more than anyone else to make sure his program won, and his […]
Girls Athlete of the Week: Considering she didn’t pick up a tennis racket for the first time until August of 2018, it’s incredible to see just how far Stella Hsieh has come. The Maranatha No. 1 singles player has been the anchor for her father’s (Arthur Hsieh) program. This past week alone, Hsieh went 6-0 […]
