Wrestling: Thanks to the Eagles program for this report: On February 3rd, Marshall Fundamental hosted the first ever wrestling tournament on our campus.

Photos by Carlo Montalbo (www.i4pix.smugmug.com) Boys Basketball: At some point, the Glendora basketball program will probably look back and asks themselves, ‘what if we didn’t lose at Bonita?’ For those who don’t know, the Tartans were riding an 11-game win streak into the regular-season finale at Bonita. GHS had a double-digit lead with less than […]

Photos by Samuel Gutierrez Boys Soccer: For most people, driving 79 miles in the rain would be a miserable experience. For the Marshall Fundamental boys soccer program, it was tolerable at worst, and pleasant at best. That’s because the Eagles claimed at 3-0 win in the wild card round of the CIF-SS Division 5 playoffs. […]
