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.

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 […]

Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Why the bleep is a 10-0 program having to travel in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs? Better yet, why would two 10-0 teams meet in the first round? There could be no logical answer to either question. But Charter Oak will indeed make the 23-mile […]

Photos & game info by Josh Thompson of Champion Newspapers Football: It seens that Jacob Duronslet’s decision to return home to Covina High School was beneficial for both sides.
