Not enough for Hilmar
HILMAR - In perhaps the biggest game since winning the 2008 Sac-Joaquin Section title, the Hilmar High football team knew what was at stake Friday night in the mega-showdown against Escalon High, which is best known as the defending state champ in Division III. But a poor first half was too much for the Yellowjackets to overcome. Despite holding the Cougars scoreless in the final two quarters, as well as rendering standout ...
Bulldogs soccer wins first league title in 15 years
After Tuesday's loss to Golden Valley High, the Turlock High boys soccer team thought its hopes of a Central California Conference title were gone. "We basically thought we lost it already when we lost to Golden Valley," Turlock junior forward Ty Hyer said. But they didn't. They needed to beat crosstown rival Pitman High for a third time on Thursday afternoon, and that's what the Bulldogs did - though just barely. ...
In Feaver’s home farewell, Bulldogs finish with undefeated season
In front of hundreds of cheering fans, and as the night fell cold underneath the lit up Turlock sky, Steve Feaver took a dip into the swimming pool. With his clothes on. Well, it was more like a forced dip, a sort of water polo's take on the Gatorade bath popular in other sports. His Turlock High players wanted to congratulate him in what likely was his final home match at the facility ...
Turlock water polo handles Pitman in season finale
When the season started, Turlock High girls water polo coach Sonja Raynes wasn't sure about her team. The Bulldogs were young. But after Thursday night's 9-1 win over crosstown rival Pitman High in the regular season final, Raynes knew what she had. The Bulldogs controlled the match from the very beginning and never let up, thanks to standout performances by Kristine Groteguth (two goals, one assist, six steals), Haley Raynes (two goals, ...
THS’ Barton top runner in final league meet
Though seemingly out of breath, Ron Barton walked past race officials and other runners around the finish line area and found a tree to lean on - well beyond his team's designated park tables, while other finishers slapped hands and talked about their performance. No one was around him. He wanted to be alone. In terms of time, he had completed his best race of the cross country season at the ...
Bulldogs lose starting QB to injury
Sean Downs, the tough and relentless Turlock High sophomore who quarterbacked the Bulldogs to a playoff berth, is out for the season. He fractured his collarbone during last week's 27-24 win over Golden Valley High at Veterans Stadium in Merced. He is unable to play for four weeks. The injury happened in the final 2 minutes of the Central California Conference game, when he sprinted toward the sideline and tried to get ...
With inspired showing by top golfer, Bulldogs take second
MODESTO - Turlock High girls golfer Hannah Gong didn't have her best day at last Monday afternoon's Sac-Joaquin Section Division I South Championships at Creekside Golf Course.

"She was tired," Turlock coach Mary Krupka said about the team's top scorer, who arrived about five hours before the tournament started. One example ...
Bulldogs not taking Atwater lightly, especially after last year
As he sat on the team bus, feeling rather relieved from another close win, Turlock High football coach James Peterson overheard his players' conversations. He liked what came out of their mouths. "I heard guys talking Atwater High School," he said. He wouldn't have minded if they were discussing last Friday night's 27-24 win over Golden Valley High, in which the Bulldogs won in the final seconds on a Sean Downs touchdown, ...
Pitman focused on always tough Merced before Harvest Bowl
For the first eight weeks of the high school football season, the most a team scored on Pitman High was 24 points. And that was by Buhach Colony High, a state-ranked team chasing back-to-back Central California Conference titles and boasting a couple of highly recruited athletes. Then last Friday night happened. The Pride went up against an Atwater High team that scored 35 points, something the Turlock High football talked about earlier ...

Hilmar, TC volleyball looking to better playoff positions
Besides Pitman, the Hilmar High and Turlock Christian High volleyball squads are also trying to make moves up their respective playoff spots.

The Eagles were 14-12 overall and 7-4 in the Southern League entering Tuesday night's match against Mariposa High. Hilmar sits at the sixth position in ...
PHS volleyball 3 wins from making history
Three more wins. That's all that's needed for the Pitman High volleyball team to capture the Central California Conference title for the first time in the school's short history - even though the Pride might have to share it. The Pride's three remaining matches seem to be automatic wins, as they have beaten Atwater High, Merced High and Turlock High each twice this season. In addition, they've swept the latter two teams ...
After demolishing Merced, Bulldogs one win from perfection
With his lightning quick speed, Morley Baker won the opening match swim-off to give his Turlock High boys water polo team an early advantage. He then passed the ball to the trailer, who sent it to the middle of the pool to Antovan Davtians. Davtians returned the ball to a streaking Baker on the right side, where he out-sprinted his defender to score a goal just 9 seconds in. "That was a ...
Turlock girls water polo falls to Merced
Against the league's best, the Turlock High girls water polo team fell 11-5 to Merced High on Thursday at the school's Steve Feaver Aquatic Center. For the Bulldogs, it was difficult to stop Merced's Allison Miller, who had a match-high four goals. The Bears (9-0) are just one win away from a perfect season and consecutive league titles after sharing it with the Bulldogs last season. Turlock's Savanna Schaffer finished with a ...
Pitman water polo ready for Turlock
For the Pitman High boys water polo team, this doesn't happen often. The Pride players and coaches are cherishing every moment, as they're experiencing one of their best seasons in school history. For just the third time ever, they're making the playoffs. How impressive have they been? Sure, they still live in the shadow of Turlock High and coach Steve Feaver, but that common sports metaphor isn't that wide and dark ...
