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 ...

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.

With inspired showing by top golfer, Bulldogs take second

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.

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.

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.

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.
