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.

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.

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 […]

Photos by Gustavo Vargas Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Saturday afternoon’s showdown between Citrus and Glendale was exactly what a conference championship game should look like. Both sides landed punches, did some trash talking and fought until it said 0:00 on the scoreboard. Citrus scored the game’s final 21 points in the fourth quarter […]
Football: Having wandered around both sidelines at Friday’s D-3 showdown between Charter Oak and Yorba Linda, the unanimous opinion was that two 10-0 programs shouldn’t have any business meeting up for at least another couple of weeks. But neither school had any say, and both programs focused only on the things that were in their […]
Game info from Harry Joe Football: While Muir (4-6) and La Salle (5-5) had home games in Friday’s first round of the CIF-SS Division 10 playoffs, Rio Hondo Prep (8-1) had to travel to Norwalk (9-1).
