Football: By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor If there was a program best suited to face undefeated Yorba Linda for the CIF-SS Division 3 championship on Friday night, the argument could be made that it’s the Upland Highlanders. And it all starts with the quality of play in the Baseline League. To add stock to that […]

O’Malley Accounts For 5 TD’s in Maranatha’s 49-47 Victory Over Jurupa Valley in OT; Martin Throws 4 TD Passes for Minutemen

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 […]
