Prep basketball: Canyon back to its ways
There Canyon girls basketball goes again. Driving another team crazy. The Santa Clarita Valley's premier girls basketball program over the last three seasons defeated Highland 78-43 on Thursday night at Canyon High. And 15 minutes after the game, a group of Highland players were outside of the gym yelling at each other for being too slow down the court. Canyon was in control from the start of the game, looking like the well-oiled machine of ...
Prep soccer: Vikings do just enough
The way Valencia girls soccer played most of the game, it could have been a runaway victory. As it turned out, the Vikings did just enough to hold off Alemany 2-1 on Wednesday at Valencia High School. Despite controlling the ball and creating several golden opportunities to score, particularly in the first half, Valencia (5-1-1) needed a late second-half goal by senior Lindsay Bos to pull in front for good. "We were playing well," Bos ...
Prep soccer: Cowboys are paper shredders
On paper, things didn't appear to be promising for Canyon girls soccer. Coming off a fifth-place showing in the Foothill League in 2012, the Cowboys began the year at 0-4 under new head coach Derek Rusk and currently had only one returning all-leaguer healthy. On paper, it appears things are misleading. Canyon defeated a solid Burroughs of Burbank team 4-0 on Wednesday at Canyon High School and looked every bit like a team that will ...

Prep hoops: Canyon keeps rolling at home
It took Canyon a quarter and a half to wake up and show what Cowboys basketball is all about. After Santa Clara held the Cowboys to five first quarter points, the two teams reversed roles and Canyon's defense came alive on the way to a 61-42 victory on Tuesday night at Canyon High. Santa Clara (3-3) opened the game on a 9-1 run as it shot 60 percent from the field in the first quarter. ...

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. Giant teammate Ako Kaluna came in to clean up the rebound as a referee's whistle sounded and the ...
