Saugus finds positives
With a young team, Saugus boys soccer head coach Seth Groller is looking for improvement more than wins and losses during their non-league schedule. If Thursday's match is any indication, his side has come a long way.
Divine appointment
When Stacy Nanninga leaves The Master's College, she'll be among the all-time leaders in rebounds, blocked shots and field goals made.
Rattling the cage
Even though the league slate hasn't started yet, Foothill basketball is off to a strong start.
Success within a stick’s length
Saugus has seen a lot of athletic success recently, and lacrosse is starting to catch on - not only at the school, but across the Santa Clarita Valley. The Centurions went 10-3 last spring and won the Pacific League, and the foundation was laid by Steve Tyson, who has been a huge force behind bringing the sport to not only the Santa Clarita Valley, but the greater Los Angeles area as well.
Vikings fly by Eagles
After winning four games by an average of 18 points, Valencia left no doubt it deserved the Canyon Classic championship. The Vikings and got 27 points from tournament MVP, sophomore Lonnie Jackson and put together a complete effort in a 68-54 rout of Lancaster Saturday evening.
Super Saturday
The Santa Clarita Valley got a look at the future of its football programs on Saturday afternoon, and the future looks bright. Three local teams won titles as the 2008 Pacific Youth Football League Super Bowl was held at Cougar Stadium on the campus of College of the Canyons.
Cowboys beaten down the stretch
Lancaster made just a couple more plays down the stretch Friday to defeat Canyon 58-53 in the semifinals of the Canyon Classic at Canyon High.
Vikes pile up classics
Valencia played a strong second half during an opening-night win at the Canyon Classic, and then played well in the first half to win again Thursday.
Sharpshooters roll
Canyon pressures the basketball everywhere on the court – and the strategy is even more effective when the opponent is out of control in the first place.
Balanced Vikings vanquish Panthers
Newbury Park capitalized almost every time Valencia had a defensive lapse Thursday evening. Fortunately for the Vikings, they didn't have many. Except for a stretch in the third quarter, Valencia locked down defensively and got a balanced scoring attack, overpowering Newbury Park 71-58 at the Canyon Classic at Canyon High School. The Panthers came out in the second half and worked the ball inside, something they hadn't done in the first half, and it rattled ...
Canyon’s classic
The name on the pamphlets may have already read "Canyon Classic," but the Cowboys still made sure everyone knew whose tournament it was.
Valencia finishes off Grant
Valencia may be young, but the defending Foothill League champions still know what it takes to win.
Still looking for No. 1
Hart has never beaten Quartz Hill coach John Volk on its home field, but if the Rebels play like they did Tuesday, they won't lose many games anywhere.
Offshore accomplishments
Between the high school and college programs around the area, the Santa Clarita Valley has seen a lot of success in sports.
Leading Las Vegas
Above all else, Ryan Wolfe wants respect. Respect for himself as a great receiver. Respect for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as a solid football program. Respect for the Runnin' Rebels as a perennial bowl threat. If the 2005 Hart graduate keeps playing like this, the rest of the Mountain West Conference will have no choice but to give it to him. Wolfe was named a first-team all-conference selection for the second time in ...
