And to add a little extra excitement, the Eagles will battle Torrance in Saturday’s late game at Cal State Fullerton. The first pitch […]
Baseball: What are the chances a baseball program could be held scoreless for 10 consecutive innings in a CIF-SS Division 2 semifinal round game and still win?

Baseball: For a school that has an enrollment of just over 500 students, and a program that competes in a league (Olympic) that many people mock, Matt Shupper, his staff and their players continue to battle and excel in a division (2) that most would subjectively agree was too high for the Minutemen. After claiming […]
Baseball: It doesn’t matter what sport it is, every coach dreams of having his or her program peaking for the playoffs. And that’s exactly what’s happening with the Etiwanda High School baseball program. When the Eagles make that 75-mile drive to Palos Verdes for the semifinal round of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs, Etiwanda will […]
