Bertalotto named Folkstyle All-American
Ask any athlete who's serious about their sport and they'll tell you that one of the most important factors of success is to establish goals. Turlock High's Isaac Bertalotto did just that at the beginning of his sophomore wrestling season. Now, after completing his first goal of placing at the state level, the young Bulldog has scratched another task off his list by becoming an All-American. "It's a big deal," Bertalotto said. ...
Pride soccer No. 1 in CCC standings
Pitman High is number one in the Central California Conference standings with one half of the regular season complete. The Pride maintained their top position on Monday with a 2-0 victory over Buhach Colony High as they braved winds as high as 45 miles per hour. Both of Pitman's goals were scored in the second half off the foot of freshman Rayana Plancarte-the team's leading scorer with five goals. Plancarte notched her first ...
Golden Valley squeaks by Turlock
Two weeks ago Turlock High dropped its first match of the season against Merced High, 5-4. Though the loss was a shock to the Bulldogs' system, it was an understandable outcome considering two key players were missing from the lineup. Turlock entered Tuesday's home matchup against Golden Valley High eager to get back into the winner's column and keep its dream of a Central California Conference championship alive, be it outright or shared. ...
Kellen Ireland seeking hockey State championship
Ice hockey is not a sport that is typically associated with the Valley. Sure, fans exist, but with a lack of snow and rinks in the area most enthusiasts with a desire to play are relegated to using roller blades on black top. That's exactly how Kellen Ireland got started around the age of three; playing in the street with his family. The Irelands - long time San Jose Sharks fans-saw hockey as ...
Stanislaus falls short in home tourney
The first day of this year's Tournament of Champions didn't go as planned for California State University, Stanislaus. Two days after snapping an eight game losing streak with a pair of victories over Montana State-Billings University, the Warriors again found themselves in the loser's bracket as they fell to Sonoma State University, 5-7, Western Oregon University, 6-7, and Notre Dame de Namur, 8-10. Stanislaus' first matchup against the Seawolves was the fifth game ...
Bulldogs one win away from sweet 16
In late February Turlock High began its season of baseball by losing a one run game to Lincoln High. After shaking off the initial disappointment, the Bulldogs responded with an Atch Pedretti Tournament Championship and a perfect 6-0 start to their Central California Conference season-parts of the sum of a current 15 game win streak. Turlock continued its season of success on Monday at the Dick Windemuth Tournament and carried it all the ...
Hawks soar at NorCal Tourney
The Delhi High softball team hasn't done much losing this season. The Lady Hawks completed the first half of their Southern Athletic League season with a 5-1 record and on Friday they continued their winning ways with back-to-back victories over Turlock and Patterson High during the first day of the NorCal Tournament in Tracy. Both of Delhi's victories were driven by sophomore Alyssa Stockton who stood on the hill and racked up a ...
Bulldogs' win streak persists
Turlock High's Central California Conference success was carried over to the Dick Windemuth Tournament on Monday and Tuesday. With an undefeated CCC record, the Bulldogs took on and trounced Modesto Metro Conference contenders Gregori and Enochs High 8-5 and 9-2, respectively. Monday's game against the Jaguars was a close affair as Turlock was forced to climb back from an early four run deficit and battle for the win. The close call proved to ...
Pitman knocks Modesto, Beyer
It's been a victorious start to this year's Windemuth Tournament for Pitman High. After splitting games with Atwater High to mark the mid-point of the Central California Conference season, the Pride enjoyed a break from league play on Monday and Tuesday with games against Modesto and Beyer High. Pitman blasted the Panthers 11-2 on Monday before battling with the Patriots on Tuesday, walking away with a 5-2 win. Tuesday's matchup began with ...
Pride pair compete at Stanford Invite
It's spring break, a time for high school kids to relax, take a vacation, catch up with friends, and get their minds off of school work. But it's a bit different for athletes-taking time off might sound good, but rust never sleeps when it comes to competition. And so while their peers are enjoying a week away, high school athletes are practicing, and in some cases competing, to keep their game strong. <p ...
Coyotes fall short in Ceres Tourney
Denair High struggled through the first two days of this year's Art McRae Ceres Tournament, losing a close 4-1 game to Rio Vista High on Monday and dropping Tuesday's game against Orestimba High, 14-1. Monday's game was one of the Coyotes' closest of the season as they and the Rams played five innings sans runs. Denair finally got onto the board in the sixth inning when Avery Martinez scored on a pass ball, ...
Hilmar girls bounce back from defeat, beat Ripon
The girls of Hilmar High were stung a week ago when they were handed their first Trans Valley League loss by none other than rival Escalon High. Despite outshooting the Cougars 12-3, the Yellowjackets were shut out, 3-0, and left with a bad taste in their mouths. Though no longer undefeated, Hilmar (5-1 TVL) resolved to bounce back and reassert itself as the team to beat in the TVL. The 'Jackets got their ...
Bulldogs break Cougars
It started with an offensive flurry on Wednesday and ended with steady pressure on Thursday, but the constant in both of Turlock High's victories over Golden Valley High this week was stingy defense. The Bulldogs (6-0 CCC) traveled to Merced Wednesday afternoon to face the Cougars (1-5 CCC) in what began as a tight matchup but soon snowballed into a lopsided offensive onslaught. Cameron Matsumura got the ball rolling in the first inning ...
Isaac Bertalotto claims pair of State titles
Isaac Bertalotto's 2013 season as a Turlock High wrestler was a successful one, to say the least. Bertalotto ended his sophomore year with an eighth place finish in the California High School State Championships and placed himself in elite Turlock company. But, as it turns out, the young Bulldog wasn't finished. A week after becoming one of Turlock's youngest state placers, Bertalotto entered the USA/CA Wrestling State Folkstyle Tournament where he competed in ...
Claire Silva to continue running as a Warrior
Turlock High's Claire Silva signed on to run for William Jessup University's cross country team on Tuesday, ensuring herself a new home once her senior year as a Bulldog comes to an end in June. Silva-a four year cross country runner-was surprised with the news that William Jessup was interested in her services during a routine campus visit when Warrior coach Parker Daniells extended the invitation. "Honestly, I never saw it coming. ...
