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, […]
Boys Water Polo: San Dimas had a long day on Saturday. But it was worth every second. The Saints took a 90-mile trip to Oxnard in the CIF-SS Division 5 quarterfinal round. SDHS trailed by one goal after the first period. San Dimas, however, would out-score Oxnard, 12-4, the rest of the way. Anthony Duenas […]
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. […]

But the Tartans went down swinging. Trailing 28-21 and with 24 seconds to play, GHS quarterback Eric Najarro found Decker DeGraaf on a 13-yard […]
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. Both sides landed punches, did some trash talking and fought until it said 0:00 on the scoreboard. Citrus scored the game’s final 21 points in the fourth quarter […]
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 […]
Game info from Harry Joe Football: While Muir (4-6) and La Salle (5-5) had home games in Friday’s first round of the CIF-SS Division 10 playoffs, Rio Hondo Prep (8-1) had to travel to Norwalk (9-1). And the Kares, who have 125 students on campus, gave the Vikings (2,025 enrollment) everything they could handle. In […]

Photos by Gus Vargas, & game info/stats from Randy Reams Football: Ayala’s season came to an end on Thursday night in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs. But the Bulldogs gave top-seeded Corona del Mar all they had before falling short, 30-23, at Newport Harbor High School. AHS had a 6-0 lead […]
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 […]
Thanks to Jack Nance for stats/info/photo Boys Water Polo: For all intents and purposes, San Dimas put Tuesday’s CIF-SS Division 5 playoff opener away in the first period. The Saints led 7-0 after eight minutes of play and cruised to a 20-3 victory over their visitors from Palm Springs. Anthony Duenas and Killian Pressley led […]
Pictured L=R: Michael Martin, Miles O’Malley & Carter Shupper Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor In just two years, Maranatha coach Rand Holdren, his staff and their players have made one of the area’s most dramatic reversals of fortune in recent memory. And while stats don’t tell the whole story, without them, one couldn’t fully […]

Football: I’ll concede that I don’t possess the same math skills as Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting, but there are a number of WTF matchups in the first round of the CIF-SS playoffs. And there is no greater example than Division 3. To start, undefeated Charter Oak (10-0) and 9-1 Pasadena both open the postseason […]
Pictured L-R: Ike Udengwu & Isaiah Dickerson College Football: How would Mt. SAC respond to last week’s 2-point loss at Riverside City College? It was the Mounties first setback in 2022, and it took three overtime periods to decide a winner. Fast forward a week, and Mt. SAC dominated Chaffey in all three phases of […]
Photos by Gus Vargas College Football: Citrus College cruised to a 40-14 victory over visiting West LA in Saturday’s American Metro Conference contest. The Owls scored the game’s first 33 points and improved to 8-0. Citrus had a 472-260 advantage in total offense, and that included a 327-100 surge through the air. As always, Adam […]
Photos & game info from Ryan Tomey Football: Of the three programs vying for an Angelus League championship on Friday, only St. Francis had control of its own destiny. With a win, the Golden Knights would have the key to the Angelus penthouse. Unfortunately, Loyola had other plans, and defeated SFHS, 28-27. But not without […]
