Boys Athlete of the Week: There are a number of athletes responsible for Glendora starting the 2023 season at 4-0. And that long list includes the offensive line, running backs, receivers, defense and special teams. But one could make the argument that no one has played a bigger role in their success as has Eric […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: Covina is off to a 3-0 start for the first time in recent memory. Through week two, the Colts have wins over California (42-0), South Hills (40-14), and Diamond Bar (42-32). CHS handed the Brahmas their first loss of 2023. The only thing better than being 3-0 has to be […]

Boys Athletes of the Week: The Upland High School boys volleyball program has turned in a 2023 season that has been nothing short of incredible. Dating back to 2022, the Highlanders have now won 24 consecutive Baseline League matches without dropping a single set. Unlike 2022, where UHS was swept by Royal in the CIF-SS […]
Photos by Gwen Pointer Boys Athlete of the Week: There isn’t a more unsettling feeling for a baseball player than falling behind early in a CIF-SS playoff game. It’s that knowledge that one’s season and in many cases a career is rapidly running out of oxygen that makes it so unpleasant. But don’t tell that […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: Arcadia entered the final week of the 2023 regular season trailing first-place Crescenta Valley by one game, and that meant they’d need a two-game sweep of the Falcons to secure a fourth consecutive Pacific League title. After edging CV, 5-4, on Tuesday, the Apaches secured the sweep with an 11-2 […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: What an eventful week it was for the Maranatha baseball program, and for senior Cider Canon.

Boys Athlete of the Week: Northview entered the week on a six-game losing streak, and one of the area’s most elite players, Dean Curley, had a tremendous three-day run. The Vikings dropped a 6-4 decision to Trabuco Hills on Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, NHS defeated Portola (13-0) and Aliso Niguel (7-1), respectively. Over that […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: PCC’s Jakob Guardado had about as impactful a week as a JC player could hope to have. On Monday, the Lancers sophomore salvaged the final game of a three-game set with LBCC. Guardado went the distance, allowing four runs, didn’t issue a walk and struck out seven in a 6-4 […]

Boys Athlete of the Week: After opening the season 3-0, San Dimas found itself on a two-game losing streak. And that included a 4-2 setback at Bonita on Feb 22. On Saturday afternoon, Kody King decided to do something about it. The Saints junior threw a two-hit shutout in a 1-0 victory over the visiting […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: Justin Santiago got off to about as impressive and efficient a start to his senior season as possible. The 6-foot-2 Bonita ace held the Northview offense in check throughout Saturday’s 2-1 victory in the 2023 season opener. Santiago allowed a single run in the top of the seventh, but finished […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: If you don’t go to Bonita High School or wrestle in the Palomares League, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Tristan Fernandez. And that’s because Fernandez is a quiet and humble kid, who also happens to be an ass-kicker for Coach Rob Froh and the Bonita wrestling program. […]
Photos by Carlo Montalbo & Josh Thompson Boys Athlete of the Week: There are moments in an athlete’s journey that can help define their legacy. And while Chris Lee’s athletic career is far from over or defined, he added a chapter this past week that made everyone proud. In the third quarter of Wednesday’s 68-39 […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: If Maranatha holds on and claims the Olympic League championship, the Minutemen will certainly look back on this past week as a defining moment on their title run. MHS went 3-0 in Olympic League games, including wins over Heritage Christian, Village Christian and Valley Christian, respectively. And no one played […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: Walnut point guard, Malik Khouzam, is one tough and talented dude. Just over three weeks ago, the Mustangs’ senior lost his sister in a tragic car accident. And while his heart is heavy, Khouzam is honoring his sister by working tirelessly on and off the basketball court, including the classroom. […]
Boys Athlete of the Week: In back-to-back Saturday’s, the Diamond Bar basketball program has won the San Dimas and Glendora tournaments, respectively.

Boys Athlete of the Week: San Dimas began its own Gary Prestesater Classic on Monday with a 69-64 loss to Villa Park.
