And that’s being generous. […]

In 2023, the Kares claimed a D-9 title thanks to a dramatic 29-27 […]

Thanks to Harry Joe for the game info/stats, Tim Lunney for the photos, & David Guerrero for the game highlight video Football: It might sound like a broken record. However, to borrow lyrics from the great Canadian rock band, Rush, “a fact’s a fact from Nome to Rome.” And the fact is that Rio Hondo […]
Photos by Carlo Montalbo (@Carlo.Montalbo on Instagram) Football: After the past two wins, you couldn’t blame Glendora or their fans if they believe in destiny. The Tartans opened with a 31-7 blowout victory at Agoura in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 6 playoffs. However, over the past two weeks, the Tartans have dug […]

Girls Tennis: The only thing better than winning a first CIF-SS championship in school history is having to clutch up to accomplish that feat.
