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. ...
Coyotes dominate second SAL meet
The second Southern Athletic Meet took place at Turlock High on Saturday and for the second time Denair High walked away from Joe Debely Stadium as the most productive team in its field. Delhi High improved greatly from its first league outing, testing the Coyotes with its array of athletes, but in the end a combination of missed opportunities and no shows kept the Hawks from claiming victory. Denair was once again led ...
Inaugural County Clash a success
Stanislaus vs. Merced- that's how Friday's first ever Country Clash Meet was billed. Athletes from all over the Valley poured into Joe Debely Stadium for the inaugural event and treated spectators to high level competition. Turlock, Pitman, and Hilmar were among the schools present, but it was the Pride that emerged as the most successful of the bunch, specifically, the ladies. Pitman claimed five first place finishes in the girls' field. Kiana ...
Turlock still unbeaten with win over Pitman
The boys of Turlock High's tennis team remain undefeated in the Central California Conference after an 8-1 defeat of Pitman High on Thursday. The Bulldogs are now preparing for a Tuesday matchup with second place Merced High in a contest that will likely decide who will walk away with the CCC title in 2013. Turlock's path to victory over rival Pride included convincing wins from Jordan Bean, Aldair Lima, Alex Lima, Martin Castorena, ...
Turlock takes Pitman by 27 strokes
Turlock High golf pushed through windy conditions Thursday afternoon to claim its fifth league victory and remain undefeated with a 230-257 performance over Pitman High at the Turlock Country Club.

Bulldogs bounce Pride with 3 goal effort
Turlock High girls soccer continued its climb back into Central California Conference contention with a 3-0 victory over rival Pitman High on Wednesday. After dropping their first three league matches, the Bulldogs (2-3 CCC) now sit in third place behind the Pride (2-1-2 CCC) and first place Golden Valley High as the second round of CCC play is set to begin. "We're ecstatic about the win," Turlock's head coach Cathi Schali-Lopez said. "The ...
Pitman’s Wolfley claims state championship
Pitman High's Logan Wolfley had high hopes for his 2013 high school wrestling season but a combination of tough brackets and an elbow injury led to a disappointing finish for the Pride junior. Although he finished with a 40-11 record, his 1-2 finish at Masters and 8th place Section ranking was less than he had hoped for. Even though the high school wrestling season is over, Wolfley got an opportunity to redeem his ...
Delhi tops Denair: Hawks, Coyotes tied for 2nd in SAL
The last time Denair and Delhi High met on the tennis courts the Coyotes won a close 5-4 match, propelling them into the top of the Southern Athletic League standings right behind undefeated Ripon Christian High. Denair wasn't so lucky in its second matchup with Delhi on Tuesday, though. The Hawks (5-2 SAL) served the Coyotes (5-2 SAL) a 7-2 loss on their home court and created a two-way tie for second place ...
Pitman tops Golden Valley
Pitman High soccer remains atop the Central California Conference standings after a 2-0 defeat of Golden Valley High on Monday. The speedy Cougars (3-1 CCC) pressured the Pride (2-0-2 CCC) throughout the match but were unable to capitalize on a number of scoring opportunities or take advantage of penalty-driven player adjustments on Pitman's part. "We're doing well," Pitman's head coach Christina Garcia said. "Last week was a little tough with the two ties, ...
Turlock girls notch first CCC win
The beginning of the Central California Conference season has been trying for Turlock High's girls soccer team. One year removed from an undefeated CCC championship, the Bulldogs (1-3 CCC) dropped their first three games of league play, each by only one goal. The trio of losses led to a team meeting prior to Monday's match against Buhach Colony High in which the Lady Bulldogs resolved to regroup, band together, and save their season. ...
Former Hawk eyeing Junior Nationals as Warrior walk-on freshman
Juan Contreras never had much of a passion for track and field in high school. The former Delhi High Hawk primarily played football, but he was persuaded by then coach Matt Cabral to put his strength to use by throwing for the track team his sophomore year. Delhi's team was still growing at the time and any points were welcome. Things changed for Contreras once he became a senior, however. A junior year ...
Bulldogs route defending CCC champs
Turlock High's second matchup against Buhach Colony High on Friday was its chance to establish its presence in the Central California Conference for the 2013 season-and its boys took full advantage of it. Two days removed from beating the defending champions 5-1 in the CCC opener, the Bulldogs again took the Thunder to task with a 2-1 effort. "It's a good start for us, that's for sure," Turlock's head coach Mark de la ...
