Boys Athlete of the Week: Damien entered the 2022-23 season needing to replace all five starters from the 2021-22 state championship team. Who would step up for Mike LeDuc’s program?

Boys Athlete of the Week: Since dropping its week-zero, 2022 season-opener, Pasadena has been on a roll.

Boys Athlete of the Week: It was both a trying and successful week for Bonita High School wide receiver-defensive back, Kevork Markossian, or Georgie, as most people call him.

Photo by Gus Vargas Boys Athlete of the Week: There wasn’t a program in the 210 Prep Sports coverage zone that had a more definitive victory over a solid opponent like Ayala.

Boys Athlete of the Week: Nathan Noguez-Estrada is off to a great start to his senior season. The Azusa High School quarterback exploded in Saturday’s 51-6, season-opening victory over Mountain View.

Boys Athlete of the Week: Last season, GHS lost six of their last seven Palomares League games and missed out on the playoffs. Fast forward to 2022, and Glendora finds itself in a first-place tie with Bonita. The Tartans have already won two more league games than in 2021, and they still have a trifecta […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: Whatever Gio Ortega does, he does it really well. Whether it’s in the classroom, on a field, or as a young man, he represents Rio Hondo Prep and his family in the best way possible. It just happens to be baseball season. Ortega had a really solid week in a […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: It can only go downhill from here. But seriously, what a way to begin a high school career.
