Underdog Lancers stun Vikings

Thousand Oaks stunned Valencia 23-14 in its home opener at Paul Priesz Stadium. The Lancers capitalized on three interceptions to stifle the Vikings offense. Valencia quarterback Dominick Solley went down early in the first quarter and was replaced by junior Nick Moss. Moss lead the Vikings on a second-quarter scoring drive. Running back Jordan Thompson scored on a 3-yard run and the Vikings took a 7-0 lead. Moss threw his first interception on the ...

Canyon claims title

The Canyon freshman football team defeated Saugus Thursday 36-14. The win gives Canyon a 4-1 record in the Foothill League and a claim of the championship.

Who’s the champ?

Spreading Wings

The Saugus football team has always played the role of David in a league of Goliaths. The Centurions were never in conversations regarding Foothill League titles or championships. Those conversations were reserved for Hart, Canyon and Valencia. But now Saugus has stoned its way into the picture. Behind the Centurions' quest to win its first-ever outright Foothill League title is a quiet yet formidable leader. He's one of the more anonymous faces behind the success ...

The Vikings' quest starts

One down, four to go. On its quest to make it back to the CIF-Southern Section Division III finals, the Valencia girls tennis team took care of business on day one.

Title picture isn’t set yet

At this point, making it to the postseason is a long shot for Canyon. The last playoff spot in the Foothill League will likely go to Hart. A Canyon win and a Hart (4-5, 2-2) loss to Golden Valley would secure a spot for the Cowboys (5-4, 2-2), but it's unlikely that the Indians will drop their last regular season game to a league-winless Grizzlies team. But stranger things have happened. In Canyon's last game ...

Cardinals ride the mo’

Momentum in sports is a powerful force. Just ask head coach Matt Wilkins and his Rolling Hills Prep Eagles. After overcoming the din of the small gymnasium at Santa Clarita Christian to take a 22-21 lead in the first game of the CIF-Southern Section Division V-AA playoffs on Thursday evening, an emotional switch turned things completely around. After an out-of-bounds hit tied the score, SCCS went on to score four straight to pull out the ...

"It was a huge motivating factor for all five of our seniors," said Valencia head coach Ray Sanchez of the previous three exits. The Vikings (21-9) won 21-25, 25-23, ...

Foothill League track finals up next

All the focus was on the track at Tuesday's Foothill League track and field prelims at Valencia High School.
