Bauer awarded national honor
Trevor Bauer's almost unbelievable ascension continues. The Hart High graduate, who earned enough credits to leave the school early and enroll at UCLA in January, has pitched his way to Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week honors. "Definitely a great honor," Bauer said. "In a sense I don't deserve it. It doesn't seem like I'm worthy." Bauer pitched a one-hit shutout April 18 in a 13-0 victory for his UCLA Bruins over Washington. The ...
Canyon boys tennis takes a very pivotal match
The sixth match of the Foothill League tennis season may have proved to be the biggest one for both Canyon and Hart Thurs-day afternoon.
Closer just not good enough
Close makes Valencia golfer Max Homa sick. But it's the best word choice that applies to his Vikings in respect to Foothill League play. Valencia shot a team score of 391 Tuesday at Valencia Country club, one stroke off match No. 3 winner West Ranch. At the end of the Foothill golf season, each team gets to throw out its worst score. West Ranch has a 26-stroke lead over the Vikings. But Valencia is one ...
Greiner takes a big step
Hart High graduate and former College of the Canyons golfer Joe Greiner is on the cusp of something big.
Why didn't my senior play?
When one gripe doesn't carry much weight, Ed turns to another. And another. And another. He mentions personality clashes with his son's coach, and complains about odd lineups. None of his claims violates the rules. Sifting through the muck of gripes, there is one bonafide reason for this parent's undying anger. Quite simply, Ed's son didn't play as much as his dad hoped he would during the high school student's senior year. Ed's son was ...
The Changer
With no slight to the other sports in the Santa Clarita Valley, there are two that bring out the crowds more than any other sport - football and basketball.
Order on the court
You can almost alter the saying to: "The family that referees together, stays together?" It sounds right for one family, at least.
The O.C. rules baseball’s D-1
It was a bit of a surprise to see West Ranch so highly ranked in the CIF-Southern Section Division I baseball poll two weeks ago. The No. 3 ranking was the highest ranking of any team in the school's history.
Cary Osborne: One year later: A story is told
It has been a nearly year since the death of 36-year-old John Conant, a Saugus High School and College of the Canyons graduate.
Hello, world
Maybe you've wondered what it's like. Growing up and playing baseball in the backyard, in the street or on a diamond.
Foothill changeup?
It's too early to call anything a changing of the guard, but West Ranch baseball defeating Valencia 7-1 at home Wednesday definitely carries some kind of weight.
Not a race, yet
Valencia senior golfer Alex Macaluso didn't have to battle as hard on the golf course Tuesday as much as he had to battle off the course coming up with the right word to describe the gap between his team and Foothill League-leading West Ranch.
Grizzlies are building, not rebuilding
Andy Campbell understands that building the Golden Valley football program is a large undertaking.
Golden Valley’s start
Humility truly is a rare thing. It's so rare that when you come across it, sometimes your first inclination is to think there is something self-serving behind it.
A new arms race
There will be no comparisons between this Hart pitching staff and last year's. A Major League Baseball first-round pick in Michael Montgomery and a phenom in Trevor Bauer (now playing for UCLA when he should be a high school senior) rarely if ever come along together. Yet this week, a pair of pitchers showed just how important they will be to the Indians' success this year. Josh Wagner went the distance Friday, often evading disaster, ...
