MLB: Preparing for the swap
Mike Montgomery said he went to bed early on Sunday night. The 2008 Hart High graduate awoke to the sound of banging on his front door in Surprise, Ariz. from fellow Kansas City Royals prospect John Lamb. "'Wake up. You just got traded'," Montgomery said he could hear Lamb saying. "I looked at the phone and saw all these missed calls and texts."

Prep basketball: Kaluna vs. Backboard
It was a moment that should live in Santa Clarita Valley prep basketball history forever. On Thursday night at Santa Monica High School, West Ranch guard Kevin Harris drove along the right side of the basket and tried for a layup and was fouled with 3:10 to play in the first quarter against Alemany of Mission Hills.

COC women’s basketball preview: Pressures from the past
It's just a little odd. One game the College of the Canyons women's basketball team scores 107 points in a victory and two weeks later it scores 54 in a win. The patented fast-break offense hadn't scored under 60 points in a game and won since Jan. 20, 2010. Another oddity is the roster. Not one girl played basketball for a Santa Clarita Valley school. That's a first in head coach Greg Herrick's 21 seasons ...
