Baseball: Monrovia opened the playoffs last Friday with a seven-run victory over Alhambra, as Coleman Mitchell shut out the Moors and struck out 10. On Tuesday, Chantz Powers got the ball from skipper Brad Blackmore, and the Wildcats’ senior didn’t waste his opportunity to dominate. Powers threw a four-hit shutout in Monrovia’s 3-0 victory over […]
Photos by Mrs. Masucci Baseball: A lot of people have openly questioned the depth of the Ayala High School pitching staff. So far, though, it’s been good enough to claim a Palomares League championship and earn a spot in Friday’s CIF-SS Division 1 quarterfinal round. The Bulldogs got out to an early 3-0 in the […]
Baseball: It’s not by accident that Harvard Westlake is ranked fifth in the state by MaxPreps. And they sure left an impression at Arcadia on Tuesday afternoon. The Wolverines, fresh off another Mission League championship, dropped the hammer, 13-0, over the Apaches, in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 1 playoffs. Harvard Westlake out-hit […]
Thanks to Chris Karp for the photos: Baseball: The 2021 season ended sooner than Marshall Fundamental would have preferred, but a second round defeat in the D-6 playoffs is just one blemish during an historic season for the Eagles. Marshall Fundamental made a 104-mile trip to Barstow and before they could get loose, the Aztecs […]
Baseball: Yucaipa got out to an early 5-0 lead and never trailed in Tuesday’s CIF-SS Division 1 second-round game.

Photos by Gwen Pointer Baseball: Don’t look now, but that tough schedule Charter Oak played in the regular season helped prepare the Chargers for the playoffs. And that’s exactly how COHS coach Elias Chavez planned it. After a first-round victory over the Hacienda League champions from Los Altos, Charter Oak knocked off 21-4 Woodbridge by […]
Baseball: For the most part, Bonita has relied heavily on two pitchers (Luke Mistone & Edrian Rangel) for their success in 2021, and they did so again in Tuesday’s second round of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs. Edrian Rangel went 5 1/3 scoreless innings to get the win, and Luke Mistone retired the final four […]
Softball: They say all good things must come to an end. But to be accurate, the 2021 softball season for the Azusa Aztecs was much better than “good.” After a perfect run through Montview League play and a first-round playoff victory, the Aztecs fell, 4-2, in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 6 playoffs […]
Editors Note: The scores and schedule came directly from the CIF-Southern Section website.

Photos by Carlo Montalbo Boys Athlete of the Week There are a number of reasons why Glendora finds itself in a CIF-SS title game for the first time in 20 years.

Girls Athlete of the Week: San Dimas junior Ally Limos and her teammates entered the CIF-State Division 4 playoffs this week having just lost, 2-1, to El Segundo, in the CIF-SS Division 4 championship game.

Girls Basketball: Just when things looked to be a lock that San Dimas would earn its spot into the CIF-SS Division 3A championship game, South Pasadna roared back. The Saints led the visting Tigers, 42-28, in Saturday’s semifinal round. To their credit, South Pasadena closed out regulation on a 27-13 run to force overtime. The […]
Softball: Apparently there’s a reason Upland is 22-2. Through the first five innings of play on Saturday at Glendora High School, the Highlanders’ bats were pretty quiet and trailed 2-1. Upland, though, erupted for seven runs in the top of the sixth inning and went on to defeat the Tartans, 8-2, in the second round […]
Softball: San Dimas sure picked a good time to peak. The Saints defeated visiting Warren, 3-2, in Saturday’s second round of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs.
