Hilmar freshman comes through
HILMAR - It's a known fact that a freshman playing on any high school varsity sports team has a little more to prove than the other athletes. In Victoria Whitford's case, the newcomer to Hilmar High girls soccer is willing to do pretty much anything to show that she belongs.

Coyotes jump out to lead, hold on for win
DENAIR - The start couldn't have been more sweeter. Denair High slugger Brian Willis had two runners on base in the Coyotes' showdown against Turlock Christian High on Tuesday afternoon. And on the first pitch that he saw in the game, he swung his bat and the ball went sailing toward the leftfield fence. It was gone. That provided three much-needed runs, but was it enough? The Coyotes didn't think it was, but they still ...

Turlock bests Pitman to remain undefeated
The stands behind the fence of the Turlock High tennis courts were filled with spectators on Thursday afternoon as the Bulldogs hosted their annual rivalry meeting against Pitman High. There was plenty to admire with nine matches going on.
Miss Everything
Ashley Lair is a Pitman High senior who has spent endless hours cheerleading for the school's sports team on top of her duties as a Student Council member. She's petite and greets people with a smile. But behind all this lies quite an ambitious athlete, one who's chasing a feat that no other Pride athlete in track and field has ever done.
Pride baseball can’t overcome rally
It looked like it was going to be a good day for the Pitman High baseball team in their non-league game against Oakdale High on Friday afternoon.
Mattos’ short stay at Turlock touched many lives
Ron Cornell spent four decades coaching at Denair High until he called it a career in 2009. He might not have even considered coaching in the first place if it wasn't for Bob Mattos, whose short stay at Turlock High was memorable as he was an assistant coach for the Bulldogs in 1970. That year, they were 10-0. People who were around that team know that Mattos was an important piece to Turlock's success, as ...

Softball Previews 2010
Five different softball teams, five different story lines. There's not a true common theme that's shared among Pitman, Turlock, Turlock Christian, Denair and Hilmar schools when it comes to the softball diamond … except that all want to play well throughout the season, of course. Each team is chasing a certain goal that the respective players and coaches hope to achieve. Let's start with Turlock, which got a taste of the postseason for the first ...

Local athletes record personal bests at Masters
Turlock, Pitman and Hilmar High each saw its track season come to an end at the SJS Masters tournament in Elk Grove last Thursday. A combined nine athletes from the three schools competed in various events throughout the day, with a majority competing in the girls division.

NCGA, Stevinson Ranch and Delhi High team up to develop youth golf
Golf is viewed as an elitist sport by many, on par with tennis when it comes to the high cost to participate and develop as a player. Because of this, a lot of young athletes don't consider golf to be a viable option, resulting in a large, untapped demographic of potential golfers. That's what prompted the Northern California Golf Association Foundation to step in with its "Youth on Course" program, hoping to promote ...
Hilmar baseball to compete for Div. V title
With an upset over Linden High under its belt, Hilmar High baseball planned on cruising by Dixon High, in a best two out of three series, on its way to the SJS Division V Championship game. Things didn't quite go as smoothly as they hoped, though. Hilmar (17-7 overall) did its job on Saturday with a 6-0 victory over the Rams (13-16 overall), claiming the win with bookend 3-run innings. But Tuesday's matchup ...

Pitman softball comes up short in first round
Pitman High was elated at the end of the regular season, winning its first Central California Conference softball championship in school history.

The Pride entered Saturday's matchup at the Sacramento Softball Complex full of confidence. For the most part, Pitman' softball squad had ...

Turlock advances to semi-finals after sudden death
TWB, together we're better. It's written on the wrists of Turlock High's girls soccer team and it's a source of pride and inspiration for the Bulldogs. It can be seen not only on their flesh but in the style of play during any given Bulldog game, and Tuesday's SJS Division I quarterfinal matchup with Tracy High was no different. Like Turlock's previous playoff match, 100 minutes passed without a single goal. For the ...

Lady Coyotes finish as track champions
Coaches can often be heard preaching to their athletes about the importance of details. "It's the little things that count" - a common cliché in high school athletics, but true all the same. On Saturday, during the SAL Track Finals at Joe Debely Stadium, several teams learned this truth firsthand and, for one team in particular, it meant the difference between second place and a championship. "We were definitely expecting first place but ...
