Photos by Leonel Naranjo Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Upland did something on Friday night that no one had accomplished all season. They held Yorba Linda to single digits in scoring. Unfortunately for the Highlanders, Jayden Flaig booted a 42-yard field goal with two seconds to play, and the Mustangs defeated UHS, 9-6, in […]

Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor If there was a program best suited to face undefeated Yorba Linda for the CIF-SS Division 3 championship on Friday night, the argument could be made that it’s the Upland Highlanders. And it all starts with the quality of play in the Baseline League. To add stock to that […]
A huge thanks to Ryan Tomey for the photos/game info & scoring plays Football: For the second time in two years, St. Francis will be playing for a CIF-SS championship next week. Unlike 2021, there won’t be a ringer like Long Beach Poly standing across from the Golden Knights. St. Francis defeated visiting Aquinas, 52-35, […]

Photos and game info from Josh Thompson Football: Often times, the road to a championship includes a potential season-ending challenge that must be conquered. And such was the case for the Diamond Bar High football program. The Brahmas were locked up in a 14-14 tie late in the second half with visiting San Dimas. The […]
Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor The 2022 Maranatha victory tour finally got derailed on Friday night, but Rand Holdren’s Minutemen did not go down without a fight. San Gabriel defeated visiting MHS, 52-42, in the semifinal round of the CIF-SS Division 13 playoffs. Maranatha went 1-7 in 2021, and had a remarkable reversal of […]
Photos by Barry Colvin College Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Mt. SAC is playoff bound. In a battle for second place in the National-Central Conference, the Mounties earned a 28-7 victory at Cerritos College. The Falcons took a 7-0 lead with 1:24 to play in the first quarter, as Jacob Leija caught an 8-yard […]
Football: Talk about a signature victory for the Rand Holdren era. In 2021, the Maranatha football program went 1-7 in his MHS head coaching debut. Fast forward one year, and the Minutemen are the SGV area’s lone unbeaten program (11-0-1). With that said, none of the first 10 victories in 2022 hold a candle to […]
Thanks to Ryan Tomey for the photos, game info and scoring plays Football: It doesn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to understand just how valuable the return of a healthy Devyn Turner has been for the St. Francis football program. The Allen, Texas transfer missed several games and perhaps he’s just now finding his stride. And […]

Football: The Claremont defense did their part and then some on Friday night. But the Wolfpack offense was held to just one score, and Mayfair would head home to Lakewood with a 12-7 victory in the quarterfinal round of the CIF-SS Division 7 playoffs. The Monsoons took a 3-0 lead on a 21-yard, first-quarter field […]
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. The Colts were under new management and started the year with consecutive losses to South Hills, Diamond Bar and […]
Football: Week 2 of CIF-SS Playoffs: CalPreps, which projected the exact 9-13 record for 210 Prep Sports programs in the first round, is now predicting that our area football teams go 6-3 this week in the quarterfinal round. Eight of the nine games have a spread of four points or less. This week, they have […]
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. But instead of whining about having to travel to face a fourth-place team from the Foothill League, the Wolfpack focused on the task at […]
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 […]
College Football: Mt. SAC is closing out the 2022 regular season in dominant fashion. After suffering their only loss of the season two weeks ago at Riverside City College (in OT), the Mounties have victories over Chaffey and Palomar by a combined margin of 69-16. Last night, MSAC cruised, 31-10, to improve to 8-1 overall, […]
Football: Right about now, the Santa Rosa Academy football program can’t be too fond of Maranatha. In a span of three weeks, the Minutemen defeated the Rangers to win the Cottonwood League championship, and on Friday night, MHS ended SRA’s season with a 41-22 victory in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 13 playoffs.
