Cardinals wipe Rams out
Is it possible the best football in the valley is coming from Santa Clarita Christian School? Albeit eight-man football, the dominance displayed in Saturday night's 50-0 rout of Cate School (1-2) at Harry Welch Stadium only adds to the argument. The Cardinals' defense only allowed 70 yards of offense and three first downs in the shutout, recording seven tackles for loss, three sacks - one by senior Joe Grayem for a loss of eight yards, ...
Grizzlies pull off coaching coup
For a baseball team that finished 3-21 last season and winless at 0-14 in the Foothill League, Golden Valley has already caught a big fish in the baseball coaching world. Scott Drootin, a man who has 17 years of head coaching experience, was hired Friday to try and turn things around with the Grizzlies.

Turnabout is not fair play
Golden Valley's defense recovered three fumbles and intercepted two passes in Friday night's game at Harry Welch Stadium on the Canyon High campus. Normally, that leads to a victory for most high school football teams, but not this time.
Vereen: Many happy returns

Brock Vereen, the younger brother of former Valencia High running back Shane, was at the forefront of the Vikings' 35-24 win over Palmdale High on Friday night at Paul Priesz Stadium. Vereen was only the second player in Valencia's 14-year history to return two consecutive kickoffs for touchdowns in one game. The 5-foot-11 receiver opened the second half with a 98-yard touchdown. His second was a 99-yard run ...
How do you mend a broken Hart?
Hart's Spencer Souza tried to do it all himself. Unfortunately, he was outshined by Westlake's backup quarterback, as the Indians lost to the Warriors, 42-20, in a non-league game Friday at Thousand Oaks.
Road Warriors stun
Offense was abundant in the first quarter of Saugus' matchup with Alemany, but a lackluster second half and controversy proved to be just what the Warriors needed on Friday night.
