Football: Ryan Bulick is both an athletic and confident quarterback. And when he gets the chance to throw the ball, he proves it out, just like he did on Thursday night. Bulick threw three TD passes and San Dimas cruised to a 42-6 victory over visiting Los Altos. Bulick hit freshman Decker DeGraaf on TD […]

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 […]

And he was right. But his players busted their butts and grinded out a 13-6 victory on Friday night. According to Medrano, El Rancho […]
By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Damien started Friday night’s showdown with visiting St. Francis in fine form. But it was the way they finished the contest that allowed the Spartans to outlast the Golden Knights, 23-19.

They knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Glendora had to replace a number of star players in key positions that helped lead the program to back-to-back CIF-SS semifinal appearances. And while this Tartans squad is forging its own identity, the results remain the same. GHS opened the first of five road games with a […]

Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor There are many high school football players in the San Gabriel Valley that work their butts off from the first practice of their freshman season to the moment he see’s triple zeros on the scoreboard, which signifies the end of that prep career some four years later. But it […]
Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Over the past three years, an argument could be made that no SGV area football player did more in more ways to help his team win games than St. Francis running back Kevin Armstead.
