College Football: Mt. SAC secured a National Central Conference championship and a 10-0 regular season on Saturday afternoon in Huntington Beach. But it did not come easy.

Photos by Gwen Pointer Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Who could have believed a program that entered the CIF-SS playoffs at 2-8 would find itself in the Division 8 semifinals? Apparently, the Charter Oak football team. That’s who. The Chargers secured a convincing 23-7 victory over their visitors from Covina High School. The COHS […]

Photos by Josh Thompson & Beth Oualline Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor If Friday’s CIF-SS Division 8 quarterfinal round game between Covina and their hosts from Charter Oak was played on paper, the Colts would have a decided edge.

Football: Yup. The same Don Lugo football program that started the season at 1-6 and went on to claim a San Antonio League title, has earned its spot in the quarterfinal round of the CIF-SS Division 12 playoffs. And if you know one thing about the Conquistadores, it’s the reliance they have on junior quarterback, […]
Photos by Josh Thompson Football: While everyone talks about Rancho Cucamonga and Damien and other area powers, and rightfully so, there is this school in Chino that has quietly gone 11-0 thus far in 2023. And on Friday night, the Cowboys scored 21 fourth-quarter points, and dispatched of visiting Long Beach Jordan, 42-22, in the […]
Football: Jumping from CIF-SS Division 13 to D-11 in one year is a big step. It’s also going to be difficult without your starting left tackle and left guard, and losing both running backs in the second quarter doesn’t help. But Maranatha battled their butts off in a 25-7 loss at Cantwell Sacred Heart. Luke […]
Football: Covina was supposed to make the 30-mile drive east to Fontana on Friday evening and have their season ended by Summit in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 8 playoffs.
