Foothill League girls basketball: ’Cats get repeat victory
The Valencia and West Ranch girls basketball teams know each other very well. Besides being Foothill League rivals, the two teams already faced off earlier this season in the West Coast Holiday Classic. And in Tuesday night's league opener at West Ranch High School, it was the Wildcats that took advantage of that knowledge to beat the Vikings 64-52. West Ranch did it by honing in on Valencia's top scorers, Lauren Spargo and Faith Anumba, ...

Prep soccer: Seeking the 10
Less than a year ago, Canyon received what appeared to be a tough break. Its starting midfielder Jordan Markovich sprained his ankle during a CIF-Southern Section Division III playoff game and had to sit out the quarterfinal match.

All-SCV Girls Volleyball: Saugus' Jaclyn Clark, All of the above
In the game of volleyball, there are many different types of players. Whether a player uses her speed, powerful, height or agility, the simple fact is, talent comes in many different forms. But only one possessed the ability to truly take over a match. And that was Saugus outside hitter Jaclyn Clark, The Signal's 2010 Girls Volleyball Player of the Year.

Prep basketball: Little finish, but big start
Sometimes, a rough stretch can teach a team an important lesson. Fortunately for Saugus boys basketball, that lesson was learned in a winning effort. The lesson: play for four quarters.

Valencia athletics: Getting with the program
It didn't matter which sport it was. Up until about a decade ago, if you wanted to know who the best team in the Santa Clarita Valley was, the smart money would be on Hart. That was true for football, baseball, basketball and a lot of other sports in which the school participated for a lot of the valley's history. Somewhere along the line, a new school began rearing its purple and gold head - ...

Prep basketball: Combo power
Saugus girls basketball appears to have found a winning combination on offense. That combination consisted of guard Jordan Oster and power forward Megan Dawe scoring from all over the court in a 57-51 victory over Camarillo Tuesday night at Saugus High School. Dawe scored 22 points, Oster poured in 18 and the two combined for 15 fourth-quarter points to lead a late charge to help the Centurions pull away. "We were working the ball around ...

TMC women's basketball: Zoe Scott, Sudden impact
This all began a long time ago. At the start of The Master's College women's basketball season, Zoe Scott was just a soft-spoken freshman who had never played a minute at the collegiate level. Just over a month into the season, she is the team's third-best scorer, and from the outside looking in, has come out of nowhere. Teammate and starting guard Ella Joines suspected something months before the start of the season. "I think ...
