Photos and game info/stats from Josh Thompson Boys Water Polo: San Dimas didn’t just win their first-ever CIF-SS (Division 5) boys water polo championship on Saturday at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center in Irvine. They did so in dominating fashion. SDHS got out to an early two-goal lead and cruised to an 11-6 victory […]
Football: Talk about a signature victory for the Rand Holdren era. In 2021, the Maranatha football program went 1-7 in his MHS head coaching debut. Fast forward one year, and the Minutemen are the SGV area’s lone unbeaten program (11-0-1). With that said, none of the first 10 victories in 2022 hold a candle to […]
Thanks to Ryan Tomey for the photos, game info and scoring plays Football: It doesn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to understand just how valuable the return of a healthy Devyn Turner has been for the St. Francis football program. The Allen, Texas transfer missed several games and perhaps he’s just now finding his stride. And […]

Football: The Claremont defense did their part and then some on Friday night. But the Wolfpack offense was held to just one score, and Mayfair would head home to Lakewood with a 12-7 victory in the quarterfinal round of the CIF-SS Division 7 playoffs. The Monsoons took a 3-0 lead on a 21-yard, first-quarter field […]
Girls Tennis: Thanks to Maranatha tennis for this report: In the CIF-SS Division 4 playoffs, there’s #1 Mark Keppel and then there’s everyone else. Via an improved but imperfect powerpoint formula that assigns schools to certain divisions each season, the Mark Keppel Aztecs, who were in Division 3 last season, were assigned to Divison 4 […]
Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Considering how poorly the 2022 football season began, the fact that Covina is currently riding a four-game win streak into the CIF-SS Division 10 quarterfinals was anything but a lock. The Colts were under new management and started the year with consecutive losses to South Hills, Diamond Bar and […]
Boys Water Polo: San Dimas is one win away from claiming a CIF-SS Division 5 championship. The Saints picked up a 10-4 road victory at Buena Park on Wednesday to earn a spot in Saturday’s final against Don Lugo. SDHS already has two wins against the Conquistadores in 2022. The Saints had a balanced offensive […]
Football: Week 2 of CIF-SS Playoffs: CalPreps, which projected the exact 9-13 record for 210 Prep Sports programs in the first round, is now predicting that our area football teams go 6-3 this week in the quarterfinal round. Eight of the nine games have a spread of four points or less. This week, they have […]
Football: In spite of being 7-2 and winning the outright San Antonio League championship, the Claremont football program had to make a 65-mile drive to battle Hart at Valencia High School. But instead of whining about having to travel to face a fourth-place team from the Foothill League, the Wolfpack focused on the task at […]
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. […]
Photos by Carlo Montalbo i4Pix Photography (smugmug.com) and stats/game info by Zack Morton: Football: Glendora’s 2022 season came to an end in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 7 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 […]
Thanks to Maranatha tennis for this report Girls Tennis: When the 2022 season started, the Lady Minutemen set a few goals for themselves knowing they would be a stretch. But at least it was something to aim for. Among them were to finish in the top 3 in the Olympic League in order to make […]
