Turlock tennis back in winners’ bracket
Turlock High's number one singles player, Natalia Lima, fell short against Golden Valley High's Lindsay Robson on Thursday in only her second individual loss of the season, but solid play from the rest of the Bulldog (7-1 CCC) squad was more than enough to claim team victory as the Cougars fell 8-1. Jillian Temple, Mila Johns, and Lauren Carlson defeated their singles opponents with ease, contributing to the winning effort with straight set ...
TC’s Morelli breaks gender barrier on Eagles football squad
Soccer players turned field goal kickers: what was once a novel idea has become a recurring trend in high schools and colleges around the nation, local teams not excluded. Turlock and Hilmar High have a history of enlisting soccer standouts for kicking duties, but the Bulldogs and Yellowjackets aren't alone this year because Turlock Christian High has jumped into the fold with senior Arin Morelli. Morelli's transition from futbol to football is a ...
Lady Bulldogs splash past Pride
It was a close match between Turlock and Pitman High when the Lady Bulldogs and Pride met in the Steve Feaver Aquatic Center on Tuesday, or in the words of Turlock Head Coach Sonja Raynes, "It was a barn burner." Pitman's Taylor Jarvis struck first at the 5:31 mark of the first quarter but Turlock's tandem of Savanna Schaffer and Rebekah Groteguth quickly erased the Pride's lead as Schaffer scored at 4:03 and ...

It was a game to remember between Turlock and Pitman High's boys water polo teams on Tuesday.

Bulldog volleyball falls to Atwater 1-3
Turlock's volleyball team finally made its way into the winner's bracket last week against Buhach Colony High and for a moment it looked like the Bulldogs would repeat their success on Tuesday against Atwater High.

Denair soccer notches first win; TC still searching
Success has eluded Denair and Turlock Christian High on the soccer field this September but Thursday's matchup between the rival, winless schools would change that, as one team was guaranteed to leave with a coveted first league win.

Pride dominates Falcons in three
