Held back
Tuesday's matchup between the Foothill League's two unbeaten teams turned into the thriller everyone expected.
As long as they don’t lose
Saugus is still searching for its first Foothill League win of the season. In the meantime, the Centurions are making sure they don't lose, either. Amir Ranjbar-Shiraz scored twice in a five-minute span in the second half to rally Saugus to a 2-2 draw with Golden Valley Tuesday afternoon at Saugus High School. It was the Centurions' third straight tie in league play, and the second straight game they have trailed at halftime. Saugus (3-8-3, ...
Not enough Hope
The Master's College knows that good teams overwhelm inferior opponents right from the start and never give them a chance. Saturday evening, that's exactly what The Master's College did.
TMC regroups for rout
After seeing the women's team rout Hope International Saturday, The Master's College men's decided to do the same. The Mustangs shook off a slow start to close the first half on a 30-12 run and kept up the intensity in the second half to earn an 89-71 Golden State Athletic Conference victory over the Royals.
The big pickup
Hart knew before tip-off Friday night that it had lost the services of its best player. Valencia didn't know it was going to lose one of its best players, too – but the Vikings turned out stronger for it. Vikings forward Starla Wright suffered an apparent concussion early in the third quarter and left the game for good, but Valencia pulled together and outplayed Hart in the second half en route to a 66-53 Foothill ...
Hart impresses
In a game of momentum swings, the last swing went to Hart – along with a coveted Foothill League win.
Valencia gets on Foothill board
Hart boys soccer is still looking for that final touch that leads to both goals and victories.
Too much, too soon
Santa Clarita Christian came out pumped for its Heritage League opener. Maybe a little too pumped. Milken Community was sharper than the energized Cardinals from the opening tip, and built a 16-point lead after three quarters before staving off a Cardinal rally and earning a 55-48 victory Thursday evening. Santa Clarita Christian (10-4, 0-1) came into the game ranked 13th in the CIF-Southern Section Division VI-AA, but routinely missed easy shots and outside jumpers in ...
SCCS finds hill too steep
Santa Clarita Christian knew it was facing a tough opponent in its Heritage League opener. The first quarter drove that point home with a sledgehammer. Milken Community scored the game's first 20 points and held a 24-4 lead after the first quarter en route to a 55-29 victory Thursday at Santa Clarita Christian. "I knew (Milken Community) was going to come out that way," said Cardinals head coach Bob Gaby. "I told the girls to ...
SCCS trio, Hank named All-CIF
Four local players were honored on the All-CIF Southern Section volleyball teams, which were released earlier this week. Three of the players hailed from Santa Clarita Christian, including senior outside hitter Kristina Gibson and senior middle blockers Kaley Morrison and Karla Eberlein. The only Foothill League honoree was Valencia junior middle blocker Katie Hank.
Hello, Foothill
Golden Valley looked impressive in the pre-league season, but the Grizzlies still had to hear about how they hadn't won a league game in almost two years. Not anymore.
WR earns rare league victory
With only 10 league games, you must defend your home court. That was the point made by West Ranch Tuesday in its Foothill League-opening 61-49 victory against Canyon at West Ranch High.
New season, better start
At this time last year, the Golden Valley boys soccer team began to dig itself a hole. Chances are the Grizzlies are much happier with this season's start.
Young and Wise
The explanation as to why he loves the game is hard to come by. Simply, Trevor Wiseman just likes to hear the ripping sound as a basketball travels through a net.
Boys of winter: Who will rise?
For years, Foothill League boys basketball has had a definitive upper tier. But the talent seems to be spread across the league this season, and because of the parity, 2009 could be a different from the past.
