A sneaky loss
A 6-5 receiver is tough to defend at the National Football League level, much less in high school.
Hart skins Wolfpack
Three games into their season, many questions remained unanswered for the Hart Indians. Friday night against Claremont, Hart (2-2) went to the wire to prove they have what it takes to remain competitive in the Foothill League with a 14-7 victory.
Saugus thinks upset
To say Saugus is facing a tough challenge this week would be an understatement. But at this point of the game, it's to be expected. This is the exact same place the Centurions found themselves in last year - facing No. 1 seeded St. Bonaventure of Ventura in the semifinals of the CIF-Southern Section Northern Division playoffs. The Seraphs defeated the Centurions 55-36 on Dec. 1. Saugus (9-3) will play the Seraphs (11-1) at 7:30 ...
Late burst is the difference
For the most part, Valencia's performance against Burroughs bore little resemblance to its opening-game dominance.
Can the Cards pull it off?
Two down, one to go. Santa Clarita Christian has already knocked out the No. 2, Windward and No. 3-ranked team, Avalon, in the CIF-Southern Section Division I 8-man football playoffs. Now the team has its sights set on taking out Heritage League mate and No. 1-ranked perennial powerhouse Faith Baptist in the finals. SCCS will take on the Contenders tonight at Harry Welch Stadium at 7 p.m. The Cardinals lost 46-32 to the Contenders on ...

Golden Valley plays host
After nearly four full seasons and 34 games playing home games at Canyon High School and around the Southland, Golden Valley High School will finally get to play its first ever home game. Add the fact that it's Homecoming, and the Grizzlies have a nice historic game.
Valencia overtakes Hart
At the volleyball match on Thursday night, the Valencia Vikings kept the lead against the Hart Indians in all three sets, 25-19, 25-15, 25-15. "The match tonight was very good," said Valencia Coach Ray Sanchez, "We did a great team effort today. I'm very happy."
