Saugus spikes back
There are several reasons why the Saugus girls volleyball team, 11-19 last season, is 10-0 this season after a three-set win Wednesday at home over Notre Dame Academy of Sherman Oaks. One is the return of setter Alyssa Terwall, healthy this year after having to sit out the first half of last season with a stress fracture in her foot.

Saugus' 'A'-game not enough versus Indians
Not even Saugus High's second-best score ever at Vista Valencia Golf Course could do it Tuesday. Not even career-best rounds by four Saugus girls at the course could do it.
Rock and Ranch
Even though West Ranch only has one senior among its top three singles players and No. 1 doubles team, at times the Wildcats can be pretty dominant. That was the case Tuesday, in a 14-4 dismantling of Saugffus, a solid team in its own right.
Misfo(u)rtune
CLAREMONT - For a moment Monday in the finals of the CIF-Southern Section Division III Girls Team Tennis Playoffs, the Valencia girls tennis team was in control. In the first round, Viking senior Isabella Fraczek won a tough 6-4 match against Sarah Blair of Valencia of Placentia in the No. 1 singles match at The Claremont Club.
Strategy to tame Tigers doubles misfires
CLAREMONT - The strategy for Valencia against its namesakes from Placentia on Monday was simple. Go for the nine-point sweep or a near-sweep of the Tigers' solid doubles teams. Then hope No. 1 singles player Isabella Fraczek can somehow win two or possibly three matches, all against ranked opponents.
‘Cats scratched
Ross Bacon was not enough to thwart Notre Dame (2-0) Friday night, as the Knights rolled through West Ranch (1-1) at Valencia High.
