The second Foothill League football coach has resigned in less than a week.

Over the years, the College of the Canyons women's basketball team has been so strong at one particular position; another moniker for the squad could be College of the Point Guards.
Hart breaking own records
Hart's girls golf team's records are meant to be broken. Excuse the spin on an old cliché, but the Indians' record breaking is becoming cliché. Hart did it on two levels Tuesday at Vista Valencia Golf Course in claiming at least a share of its second straight Foothill League title. Not only did the team break a course record at Vista, a record the Indians set just two weeks ago, but sophomore Amanda Corr shot ...
Welch returns to Carson

Chivas is in, not an opponent
There is a ripple effect from Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew head coach Sigi Schmid declining a contract offer that can be felt in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Can’t stop Hart
A slight cough would not wilt a budding golf prodigy Tuesday at Woodley Lakes Golf Course in Van Nuys. In fact, neither age nor nothing else has halted Hart High freshman Kendall Dusenberry this Foothill League girls golf season.
Charity and The Beast
We met this guy in different ways. We, being members of The Signal's Sports Department. We thought he was quirky, even neurotic. The ones who stay in contact with him still feel the same way. But one constant, besides still taking too much care on his stories (like the time we sent him to Anaheim Stadium for an Angel game, and it took him eight hours to write the story), has been his big heart. ...
Runners up again
If the Saugus girls cross country team is known as a running juggernaut, what would Fayetteville-Manlius of New York be called? How about "targeted."
GV’s Totten forced to pull up
Golden Valley cross country runner Seth Totten fought a losing battle Saturday morning in Walnut at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships.

Ownership has its privileges. Because of ownership, Faith Baptist football could call itself the class of Southern California 8-Man football.
Whatever it takes
Collin Keoshian has been stitched up four or five times this year, by his father's count. The last time would be the last time for his mother. DeeDee Keoshian just couldn't deal with it anymore. It was too hard for her. The football wars had taken their toll on the junior football player from Santa Clarita Christian. The fifth time a professional did the stitching, allowing Keoshian to continue. After Santa Clarita Christian's 26-21 victory ...
Hart reaches new low
