No. 1 Vikings get better

If the No. 1-ranked Valencia girls tennis team has an Achilles heel, it could end up being its all-sophomore doubles pairs.

The Vikings are No. 1 in the CIF-SS Division III tennis coaches' poll, which was released Monday.

Title firmly on Vikings’ mind

In a thrilling four-set volleyball battle, Valencia defeated Saugus, 25-11, 17-25, 25-14, 25-20, on Tuesday at Valencia.

And the winner is ...

Saugus High quarterback Desi Rodriguez finished off his stellar career in grand fashion as he was given the top honor for Foothill League players. The All-Foothill League team was released Monday.

Leading Las Vegas

Above all else, Ryan Wolfe wants respect. Respect for himself as a great receiver. Respect for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as a solid football program. Respect for the Runnin' Rebels as a perennial bowl threat. If the 2005 Hart graduate keeps playing like this, the rest of the Mountain West Conference will have no choice but to give it to him. Wolfe was named a first-team all-conference selection for the second time in ...

Runners up again

If the Saugus girls cross country team is known as a running juggernaut, what would Fayetteville-Manlius of New York be called? How about "targeted."

Shattered

Home field advantage

With 38.1 seconds left in Golden Valley's first home football game ever, Camp Kilpatrick was 46 yards away from crashing the party.

Seraphs stifle Cents

VENTURA - Saugus could not contain the green and gold Seraphs of St. Bonaventure as the Centurions fell 35-8 on the road in the semifinals of the CIF-Southern Section Northern Division playoffs Friday night. After the sound of the horn, Saugus football lined at up at the end zone to perform its postgame warm-up for the last time.

The faith to beat Faith

Exactly how long is the road to a CIF championship? For Cardinal head coach Garrick Moss, the road began in 2002. It was that year that he, along with coordinators John Stone and John Sanna, began building a football legacy at Santa Clarita Christian.

Cardinals rule

Ownership has its privileges. Because of ownership, Faith Baptist football could call itself the class of Southern California 8-Man football.
