Winning's not the only thing
Hart baseball's biggest accomplishment in 2008 thus far is the team being in first place in the ultra-competitive Foothill League - to some.
Livingstone: In the swim
Inspiration came early for Kearsten Livingstone, the Canyon High sophomore who has already accomplished so much in her young swimming career.
Just enough stuff
Trevor Bauer isn't your typical No. 2 high school starter. Even on a day when he didn't have his best stuff, the junior threw a season high 108 pitches, struck out nine and earned his ninth win of the season in a 7-5 win over Saugus. An ace in his own right, Bauer plays the Robin role for Hart's baseball team because senior southpaw Michael Montgomery is a unique talent and Bauer has no qualms ...
The fight is still in the Wildcats
The West Ranch varsity baseball team defeated Canyon on Friday 7-0 on the Wildcats home field. Wildcats senior Charlie Gillies pitched a complete game shutout for the second game in a row. Gillies only allowed the Cowboys two hits and struck out four Canyon batters. "We wanted to come out and get the win," Gillies said. "I didn't have many strikeouts, but I was able to rely on my defense to back me up." Gillies ...
Ho, hum: another foothill league title
Saugus was merely delaying the inevitable. For the last seven years, the Valencia boys volleyball team had won the Foothill League championship and Thursday was its first opportunity to claim an eighth. Down 24-21 in the third game, the Vikings weren't about to let an undefeated league season slip away and a Foothill League championship wait another game. So, Valencia turned on the jets and scored the last five points of the game to claim ...
Vikings coming around
Valencia head softball coach Donna Lee was pretty clear after the Vikings win Thursday afternoon. "We are the best team in the league, we just have to start playing like it," Lee said.
The wait is over
The Hart boys track team ended its season on a high note defeating Saugus on Thursday, 72-64 on the Centurions field. It was a big day for Delano Howell as the Indian speedster capture for golds, including paarticipating in the climatic 4x400 relay.
Cowboys gain net profits
The first time Canyon tennis coach Edgar Perfecto saw Jason Ferlianto play tennis, he knew he was seeing something special. Perfecto just didn't know how old this baby-faced kid was or if he'd be attending Canyon. He did know that Ferlianto, who was hitting with his dad on the Canyon tennis courts, had a lot of talent. When baby J, as he's called by his teammates, showed up at Canyon for tryouts, Perfecto was elated.
One school, two teams, two titles
Hart's boys and girls varsity swim teams bested Saugus on Wednesday at the Santa Clarita Aquatic Center to clinch Foothill League titles.
Premonition comes true
Trevor Matern knew it was coming. He knew Hart was going to win and how it was going to play out.
No more waiting
Motivation comes in many forms. For some, it's words. For others, it's the past. Motivated to become champions, the West Ranch boys golf team and Hart High's Johnny MacArthur became just that Wednesday at TPC Valencia. West Ranch won its sixth league match out of six by shooting a team score of 385 at Wednesday's Foothill League Final/Newhall Land Cup. The Wildcats boys golf team is now the first Foothill League champion of any sport ...
A second chance
It was a missed putt that ultimately cost Hart High golfer Johnny MacArthur the Foothill League Most Valuable Player in 2007.
Saugus Tennis tries to end on a high note
The Saugus boys varsity tennis team swept Golden Valley 18-0 on Tuesday on the Grizzlies' home court.
Valencia V-ball licks its wounds
The Valencia boys volleyball team rarely loses. In fact it only has two losses on the year, but one happened to come in one of its most recent matches. However, it wasn't Tuesday night against Foothill League rival Hart. It was Saturday afternoon in the finals of the Karch Kiraly Tournament of Champions in Santa Barbara as the Vikings fell to Newport Harbor for only their second loss of the year. Tuesday night, though, it ...
Cents softball gets it from both sides
The Saugus varsity softball team defeated Golden Valley 8-2 on the Grizzlies home field on Tuesday.
