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 ...

Turlock’s back-to-back wins put them 2-0 in CCC

"We came together and played better than we had in the preseason." The matchup was a competitive one; both teams pressed ...
TC, Turlock girls start league strong
The beginning of league play can be a stressful time for teams in the Valley. Although the first couple of games won't break a team's chances at a league title, they can serve as the foundation for future success and indicate what the rest of the season holds. After losing to Buhach Colony High by four points on Tuesday night, Turlock High's girls reversed roles in a four point win over Merced High. ...
Therion Gregory bids Denair farewell
After 20 years at Denair High School Therion Gregory has retired. Gregory turned in his resignation in December and has since moved to Utah where he plans on finishing his education. "It was just time for me to call it quits and take a little break," Gregory said. "I'm going to miss that camaraderie we had. I really enjoyed coaching there." During his time at Denair Gregory wore many hats, coaching girl's ...
Denair trounces Waterford with 3-point shooting frenzy
Denair High's girls basketball team had an easy time defeating Waterford High Tuesday night. The Coyotes finished 49-22, securing the win in their first league game.

They follow in the footsteps of their role models and try to emulate the things they've seen, hoping their efforts will parlay into future success. Erick Parsons is no different. Erick, a standout linebacker and wrestler for Turlock High, found his ...
CCC title up for grabs
I didn't know what to expect out of this year's basketball season; before December I hadn't watched a high school basketball game for at least four years. I did know that Turlock and Pitman would be in constant competition with each other for bragging rights and that Turlock, as defending CCC champions, would be the team to beat. As I spoke with coaches from both teams before the season began, I got the ...
Turlock records 19th straight dual win

Pride take second in Ceres tourney
One of Pitman High's goals coming into this year's basketball season was to earn a first place tournament finish before league play began. After finishing 3rd in the Frank Godinez tournament the Pride's last shot at their short-term goal was the Ceres tournament, where they got off to a shaky start. Pitman fell to Modest Christian High in the first round but was able to bounce back, defeating Ceres High 68-50 in the ...
Crusaders hold off Pride
Pitman, Beyer, Modesto Christian and Ceres High all gathered together Tuesday for this year's Ceres Basketball Tournament. Pitman (6-4) faced off against Modesto Christian (3-2) in the first game of the round-robin style tournament and was bested by the Crusaders 38-48. "MC is one of those teams where you have to maximize your opportunities," Pitman's assistant coach Undrea Walker said. "The kids seemed to have the jitters, which is not common for how ...
Pitman says farewell to water polo, swim coach
Both Pitman and Turlock High will need to find head coach replacements for their water polo teams by next season. Drew Clute, who graduated from Turlock High and played for Steve Feaver, announced that he would be vacating his current position as Pride head coach for a coaching position with the SoCal water polo club in Orange, Calif. Clute spent four years at Pitman where he served as both the water polo and ...

Eagles drop first game, then rebound in tourney
Turlock Christian High (1-7) entered the first round of the Denair basketball tournament on Thursday pitted against an eager Hughson High (2-5).

Denair starts strong in own tournament
It wasn't looking good for Denair's boys basketball team (2-6) Thursday night when they faced Cristo Rey High (1-7) in the first round of their own tournament. The Trojans looked to be on their way to the second round after a dominate first half, but a Coyote comeback dashed their plans. Denair snatched the win from Cristo Rey by a score of 76-68 and advanced to the second round where they played Hughson High. ...
Hilmar loses close match to Hughson
Hilmar High's wrestling team had to overcome two obstacles Wednesday night in their first dual of the season, a tough Hughson High team and a lack of preparation. With only a week of practice and conditioning Hilmar came up short, losing 33-39. "Conditioning, we just don't have it yet," head coach Howard Tremble said of his team's performance. "But if we're losing by six points and I've only had my kids for seven ...
Hilmar defeats Denair with outstanding shooting
It was a dominate performance by the Yellowjackets Tuesday night when Hilmar High (4-3) traveled to Denair High (1-6) to face the Coyotes. Hilmar, led by Jesse Burke, outscored Denair 74-53. It was Hilmar's most productive night of the season. Hilmar's quick defense and outstanding shooting performance was too much for the Coyotes to handle. "That's one of the best shooting performances I've seen in a long time," Denair's head coach Daniel ...
