** Thanks to Tara Masucci for the photos Baseball: Ayala remained unbeaten in 2021 after persevering its way through a slugfest at Corona. The Bulldogs earned an 11-7 victory on Monday afternoon in a game that featured a combined 18 runs and 23 hits, 11 of which were of the extra-base variety. Ayala actually trailed […]
Pictured: Max Garrison from the Damien game, taken by Ryan Tomey Football: The 111-mile ride home on Saturday night was either going to be awesome or brutal. It turned out to be the former. St. Francis headed out to Bakersfield for a 5 p.m. kickoff at Garces Memorial High School. The Rams were 1-0 after […]
The Howey’s do big things at Arcadia. Two years ago, Morgan’s older brother, Preston, went from JV pitcher to the SGV area wins leader. The pandemic cost him most of his senior season, but Preston still earned his place at St. Mary’s. And for her part, Morgan has earned a stellar reputation on her own […]
In their second and final football game of the 2021 spring season, Rio Hondo Prep made the most of it. The Kares crushed visiting Viewpoint, 48-8, on Friday night, and finished 2-0.

Baseball: San Dimas picked up a quality 7-3 victory on Saturday night, defeating SGV power, Crescenta Valley, and standout pitcher, Noah Maddox. Matt DesMarets picked up his second win of the year for the Saints. He went the first four innings, allowing three runs on three hits, walking one and fanning a pair of Falcons’ […]
Baseball: You don’t want to face the Rancho Cucamonga baseball program the game after a loss. Last week, after a 4-1 loss at Glendora, the Cougars bounced back and hammered La Quinta, 9-0. Three days ago, RCHS was on the wrong end of a one-run contest to Roosevelt, and the Cougars took their frustrations out […]
Baseball: Ever since a season-opening loss one week ago today, Glendora has won four consecutive games, including two on Saturday. The Tartans claimed victories of 5-0 and 8-2 over visiting California. Game One: GHS took an early five-run lead Saturday morning in game one and never looked back. Christian Melendez got the loss for California. […]
Pictured: La Salle quarterback, Richie Munoz. Football: After all the buildup and excitement of having a 2021 spring football season at the last minute, La Salle came out week one and dropped a 41-19 decision to St. Genevieve at home. It’s been said that true character, though, is accurately measured by the way in which […]
Burroughs got three runs in the top of the first inning on Saturday. But Monrovia bounced back with four in the bottom half of the inning and defeated the Indians, 7-3, to improve to 3-0.

Pictured L-R: Gabriel Rico & Chris Ceballos Baseball: Chris Ceballos (five innings) and Isaiah Alvarez (two innings) mowed down the Alta Loma lineup in Charter Oak’s 13-0 victory on Saturday morning. And he couldn’t have been much more efficient. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out five Braves. Ceballos threw just 50 pitches, with […]
Pictured L-R: Abraham Zapata & Luke Mariscal Baseball: Etiwanda has a knack for wearing an opposing pitching staff down and striking late. The Eagles did it again on Saturday. Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Etiwanda jumped on Nathan Valdivia for five runs, and went on to claim a 7-3 victory. Valdivia […]
Football: Rio Hondo Prep had no control of the impact that COVID-19 would have on everyone. And that included the number of games it would get to play in the spring of 2021. But when given the chance to exorcise its frustrations and to control its own destiny on the field, they more than made […]
Pictured L-R: Cam Andrews & Isaac Ton Baseball: Maranatha won its third consecutive game on Friday. The Minutemen had three pitchers (Patrick DeMarco, Jackson Hisey & Davis Cornwell) combine on a two-hit shutout. Maranatha claimed a 12-0, five-inning, mercy-rule victory. DeMarco went the first two innings, allowing one run and striking out two. Hisey went […]
It’s been said that true character is the way in which one deals with his/her failures and not their success. Northview was fresh off a frustrating loss at Crescenta Valley on Wednesday. But the Vikings bounced back on Friday with an 11-7 victory over Santa Fe. Luke Bauer went the first four innings to get […]
Damien cruised to its third consecutive win to open the 2021 basketball season. The Spartans took over early in Friday’s showdown with Western Christian and claimed a 92-45 victory.

Braydon Brus, on his 17th birthday, scored a 1-yard TD run and then a 25-yard pick-six to give the […]
In a battle of two young ladies just beginning their high school careers, West Covina freshman Erica Lopez came out on top. Lopez went the distance in the Bulldogs 8-1 victory over Monrovia. She allowed just one run on four hits and fanned a pair. Evelyn Talavera went 2-for-3, and scored a run. Abby Perez […]
Apparently the Ayala High School baseball program missed the memo that said it would take a while to get an offense clicking on all cylinders after being out of action for more than a year. With Thursday’s 13-3 beatdown of Downey, the Bulldogs are now 2-0, and have outscored their opponents by a combined margin […]
South Hills baseball coach Darren Murphy finally got a chance to sit back and relax a little bit. In the Huskies first two games, they defeated Charter Oak, 3-2, in nine innings, and four days later, they claimed a 4-3 victory over Chino Hills.
