Denair, TC jump into SAL tennis
The Southern Athletic League welcomed a new tennis program last season as Denair High joined the fold. This year the SAL has another newcomer, Turlock Christian High, which should result in a higher level of competition on the court in the years to come. In only the second year of existence, Denair's tennis program is already making strides and improving on last season's performance. The Coyotes ended the 2011 season with a fourth ...
There’s no place like home
After a successful softball career at Hilmar High, Stesha Brazil traveled to the University of Houston to strike out on her own and continue her playing days.

Now, Brazil is a Fresno State Bulldog helping her new team chase the top spot in the WAC ...
Turlock girls emerge victorious against Buhach
Turlock High held its second league meet at home against Buhach Colony High on Friday. The lady Bulldogs made a splash in the pool with a 102-77 victory over the Thunder, but the boys couldn't replicate the performance, losing 95-81. Turlock's girls are now undefeated in the Central California Conference, thanks in part to the freshman tandem of Roxie Abrams and Hollie Tinley. Abrams took first place in the individual medley, and was ...
Delhi tennis on the rise
In the past Delhi athletics hasn't had much to brag about. The high school hasn't had a team or season to point to and draw pride from in many years. Last season the Hawks began to chip away at that façade in one of the most unlikely of places - the tennis court. For the first time in school history Delhi High claimed the Southern League co-ed tennis championship with an 11-1 record, ...

Rain can’t keep TC away from the track
The Brenda Athletic Club Invitational at California State University, Stanislaus was intended to host 28 schools but Saturday's downpour forced ten of those schools to cancel their appearances and several others to pull out of the event early.

Pride baseball set to face Buhach for first place in CCC

So far the Pride are on course to challenge Merced High and Buhach Colony High for the top spot in the CCC. Their ...

Hilmar, TC swimmers compete for time
While high school swim teams around the area focus on team scores and performances, Hilmar and Turlock Christian high's focus is aimed at the individual level. Due to their small numbers and the absence of team swimming in their leagues, the Yellowjackets and Eagles have been forced to forge their own path in the water. "Because we are not able to score in those (team) swim meets, our main focus is improving these ...
