Ceballos and his defense hit a rocky spot in the bottom of the […]
Baseball: At first glance, there is nothing physically imposing about Monrovia senior Coleman Mitchell. He’s about 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds. But this kid continues to take over games on the mound and even does his part at the plate. In Friday’s 7-0 victory over visiting Alhambra in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 4 […]
