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 ...

Pitman suffers 3-point loss to state-ranked Buhach Colony
After every home game, the Pitman High football team walk toward the west end of Debley Stadium, stand on the track and wave their helmets and their hands to the home crowd. On Friday night, they barely had enough strength for the post-game activity. Their helmets were barely above their heads, while the crowd roared back, but the Pride were crushed. In one of the most exciting games in the program's short history, ...
On historic night, Hilmar dominates
Frank Marques said he is honored to be part of the tradition of Hilmar Yellowjackets football (7-1, 4-0 TVL) as the team's head coach during Hilmar High School's centennial celebration and homecoming. The 1981 graduate and nine-year head coach of the Yellowjackets had plenty to be proud of Friday night, both on and off the field. On the field, the Yellowjackets stung the Riverbank Bruins 47-10. The ancient Hilmar High touchdown bell, ...
Undefeated … again
It wasn't difficult to predict this outcome. The Turlock High girls tennis team added another Central California Conference title to the program's championship banner with another undefeated season. In netting seven of their nine matches over crosstown rival Pitman High on a warm Thursday afternoon, the Bulldogs finished the regular season at 10-0. Turlock has won the past five league titles while compiling a 44-0 record in the last four seasons, according ...
Turlock golf tops Pitman, completes 10-0 run
STEVINSON - By having all five scorers shoot 50 or under, including a freshman who was playing at Stevinson Ranch Golf Club for the first time, the Turlock High girls golf team surpassed crosstown rival Pitman High in the Central California Conference finale by 55 strokes (238-293) to complete a 10-0 record on Thursday afternoon. "It was a good finish for our regular season of play," Turlock coach Mary Krupka said. One ...
Turlock soccer races past Pitman
They needed this win. After enduring an uncharacteristic stretch of two ties and a loss in the four previous games, the Turlock High boys soccer players redeemed themselves in Tuesday night's matchup with crosstown rival Pitman High en route to a 4-0 win in Central California Conference action. Four different players scored at Debely Stadium in front of hundreds of fans, as three of goals came in the second half. The victory ...
Pitman to host big matchup vs. Buhach Colony
Both teams are undefeated. Both teams want the league title. So why is one of the teams, Pitman High, approaching Friday night's mega showdown with state-ranked and defending league champion Buhach Colony High at Debely Stadium as just another game? Are coach Brandon Harris and his Pride downplaying one of the most anticipated meetings in the Sac-Joaquin Section this year or are they really looking at this matchup like any other? <p ...
PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
Turlock High football coach James Peterson has said it before: There are no weak teams in the Central California Conference. The good news is, the Bulldogs faced the league's top team last Friday night, but that doesn't mean their schedule gets any easier. After battling defending league champion and state-ranked Buhach Colony High in a closer-than-it-looks 33-14 loss, Turlock now prepares for the always tough Merced High Bears, who are coming off a ...
Loud and clear
SALIDA - Right before the game, a Hilmar High football player was overheard yelling four very powerful words to his teammates.
Hilmar soccer can’t overcome Ripon in league action
RIPON - Despite an overwhelming 14-7 shot advantage, the Hilmar High Yellowjackets just couldn't pull off another win over the Ripon High Indians on Thursday. Ripon scored early and then held on for a 2-1 win at the Ripon Elementary field. Ripon High's third-year varsity junior Arik Anaya scored the game's first goal after missing the team's first 17 contests with an MCL tear and had bandages on his right knee Thursday as ...
Pride volleyball gets payback
The Pitman volleyball team avenged its only league loss of the season on Thursday night, when the Pride, led by Ashley Solis' 26 kills, fought through a long match and an exciting fifth and final set to beat Buhach Colony High, 25-8, 13-25, 23-25, 25-21, 16-14, in Atwater. The win gave the Pride an 8-3 overall record and 6-1 in CCC with eight matches remaining, including one more against Buhach Colony (5-6, 3-4 ...
Bulldogs golf 3 wins from perfect season
At this point in the season, Turlock High's Mary Krupka knows the little things can make the biggest impact. "A tad off with your swing," the veteran girls golf coach said, "can equate to a few more strokes added to your score each time it happens." However, her Bulldogs seem to be doing everything right. On Tuesday afternoon at the Merced Golf & Country Club, they once again outplayed Golden Valley ...
Turlock outlasts Pitman, remains league’s last unbeaten
Turlock High boys water polo coach Steve Feaver sensed that his players were nervous about Tuesday night's matchup with Pitman High, hours before it began. When the highly anticipated meeting between the Central California Conference's last two undefeated teams commenced, Pitman stormed out to a two-goal lead. That didn't concern the veteran coach. "We've been behind before," Feaver noted. "We weren't playing at our best yet." In fact, the Bulldogs - ...
Bulldogs come out fast, furious
The Turlock High girls water polo team aimed to make a statement against Pitman High, and that was to treat its crosstown rival just like any other team - an approach that helped erase all the special circumstances surrounding Tuesday night's match at the Pitman High pool. And how did the Bulldogs do that? They scored the game's first eight goals en route to a convincing 12-5 rout in front of hundreds ...
Pitman, Turlock to open CCC with tough opponents
Buhach Colony High football has been annihilating teams all season. In the Thunder's five wins, three of the teams couldn't score more than one touchdown, two were blown out by at least 53 points and only one opponent scored in double-digits. Of course, the Thunder would like to keep this sort of dominance rolling. But on Friday at 7:30 p.m., they're facing one of their tougher challenges: Turlock High. The Bulldogs, 4-1 ...
Turlock hammers Franklin in final preseason game
In the game of football, it's difficult to give every player time on the field. On Friday night, Turlock High destroyed that theory. By the second half, coach James Peterson inserted his second-string players and the first-team unit got an early mental advantage on next week's opponent. Of course, Turlock had to work to get to that point. It just didn't take that long for the Bulldogs to gain command of ...
