HUGHSON - Therion Gregory jogged to the sidelines of the Hughson High football stadium, and took a couple sips of water. He looked back at the field and didn't see very much purple.
Making a good impression
The pressure was on. Players from the Turlock High and Turlock Christian High football teams were competing against each other in 7-on-7 football under the hot sun Monday afternoon at Joe Debely Stadium, while a couple dozen people watched from the stands.

Passing league isn’t Friday night football, but it helps
OAKDALE - It was an ideal way to start. Hayden Baldwin, who's likely going to be Pitman High's starting quarterback in the fall, made a perfect toss down the right sidelines. Dominick Walker was on the other end of the 40-yard pass, as he impressed everyone with his end-zone speed. Right behind Baldwin at the 50-yard line was coach Brandon Harris, who was expressionless. But his heart was probably doing gymnastics. This was what he ...

Coaching icons retire

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.

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 ...
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, ...

Both teams are undefeated. Both teams want the league title.

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.

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.

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.
