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. The Allen, Texas transfer missed several games and perhaps he’s just now finding his stride. And […]

Football: The Claremont defense did their part and then some on Friday night. But the Wolfpack offense was held to just one score, and Mayfair would head home to Lakewood with a 12-7 victory in the quarterfinal round of the CIF-SS Division 7 playoffs. The Monsoons took a 3-0 lead on a 21-yard, first-quarter field […]
Baseball: Congrats to a pair of South Hills baseball players for signing their letters of intent on Wednesday. Both Sterling Patick and Marcos Rosales are signed, sealed and delivered for 2024. Sterling Patick, one of the area’s best pitchers, is going to have fun at the beach, and will play at UC Santa Barbara. In […]
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. Via an improved but imperfect powerpoint formula that assigns schools to certain divisions each season, the Mark Keppel Aztecs, who were in Division 3 last season, were assigned to Divison 4 […]
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. The Colts were under new management and started the year with consecutive losses to South Hills, Diamond Bar and […]
National Signing Day: Northview had two student-athletes sign their letters of intent on Wednesday to continue their careers at the collegiate level. Dean Curley, one of the SGV area’s most elite baseball players, signed his name on the dotted line to play for the Univesity of Tennessee. Curley earned the Valle Vista League MVP in […]
Boys Water Polo: San Dimas is one win away from claiming a CIF-SS Division 5 championship. The Saints picked up a 10-4 road victory at Buena Park on Wednesday to earn a spot in Saturday’s final against Don Lugo. SDHS already has two wins against the Conquistadores in 2022. The Saints had a balanced offensive […]
Collegiate National Letters of Intent Signing: San Dimas had three athletes from different sports sign their letters of intent on Wednesday. Franki Coleman helped lead SDHS to an undefeated run to a Valle Vista League volleyball championship this season. Coleman will continue her volleyball career at Cal Lutheran. Ryenn Zerbal was a member of the […]

Nemeth has been a star (pitcher & slugger) on the GHS softball program for years and is headed to Penn State. And Scharbrough is about to begin her […]
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 […]
Girls Athletes of the Week: La Salle earned a pair of CIF-SS Division 3 team victories on Wednesday and Friday. The Lancers defeated Flintridge Prep in Wednesday’s first-round match. 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 […]
