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 ...

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. This was her first time back on a golf course after spending a week in Indianapolis for the FFA Convention. "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 ...
Pitman, Turlock cross country to race today
After not having a league race since Oct. 5, the Pitman and Turlock cross country teams will get back at it today in the third and final Central California Conference Center Meet at Donnelly Park in Turlock. The varsity girls' race begins at 11 a.m., followed by the boys' race. Ronnie Barton leads the Turlock boys, who are in third place behind defending league champion Buhach Colony and Atwater. The girls are ...
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. Turlock Christian is seeded 11th in the SJS Division V Tournament in the latest power ratings, with only the top 12 teams making the postseason. 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 ...
Turlock’s Lima falls short in tennis singles finals
MERCED - Turlock High junior Natalia Lima entered this week's Central California Conference Singles Tournament as an unseeded girls tennis player, which was ideal for her. "Underestimation is my best friend," she said. With that attitude, she had an unexpected run through the tournament, knocking off the No. 1 seed - Pitman High's Britney Leon - before losing a tough, three-set battle to Merced High's Charlotte Sofranek, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3, in the ...
Bulldogs win golf title — again
MODESTO - Even without their top scorer, the Turlock High girls golfers got it done. Again. For the eighth consecutive time, the Bulldogs captured the Central California Conference title. Their latest trophy-grabbing experience came Tuesday afternoon at Creekside Golf Course, where Turlock outlasted Merced High by 21 strokes (450-471) in the par-72, 18-hole tournament to give the Bulldogs another team appearance at Monday's Sac-Joaquin Section Division I South Championships at the same ...
Pitman volleyball sweeps Turlock in 3
It was nothing to fret about. The Pitman High volleyball team found itself in an unexpected hole, staring at a 7-point deficit in the third game of the crosstown rivalry home match with Turlock High on Monday night. But coach Kristen Pontes called a timeout, which, evidently, fixed whatever problem her Pride had at the moment. After that, the third set was theirs. For the second time this season and fourth time ...
Turlock’s Lima to play in tennis finals
Turlock High's Natalia Lima will battle for the Central California Conference singles title Thursday, when she faces Merced High's Charlotte Sofranek in the tournament finals at the Millennium Sports Club in Merced. Lima defeated Turlock teammate Jill Temple 6-0, 6-0 in Tuesday's semifinals to get to this point. The singles finals will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. Lima also topped Atwater High's Alora Muro 6-1, 6-1 in the first round, Pitman ...
OT win provides momentum
There were reasons to have their heads down, with the biggest being the fact that the Turlock High football players almost allowed a three-touchdown lead to completely slip away. But the Bulldogs did not partake in the blame game. They stayed composed, even with an opposing crowd surrounding them. It took an overtime to settle the score, as sophomore Sean Downs, beaten and bruised all last Friday night, faked a handoff and charged ...
