He finished the day going 4-for-5 with two RBIs and a run scored to lead his team at the plate. Kramer, who was the starting shortstop last ...

Shorthanded Coyotes face tough challenge in 7-on-7 football
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. Players knew this was one of a few chances in the summer to showcase their potential before the fall season.
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 ...
Turlock’s Peterson never planned to become Coach, but he’s dealing with it
All the boys had left to do was run another 400 meters. This was what James Peterson, the new Turlock High football coach, wanted in order to successfully conclude the voluntary summer workout at Joe Debely Stadium on a warm Tuesday morning.
TRACK: AIMING HIGH

Local athletes experience rare competition
A number of local track and field athletes warmed up at the University of Michigan on Thursday morning. They ran around the track that helped produced All-Americans and walked across the football field of one of the most storied programs at the college level.
Local talent to shine in All-star game
Here's a neat little concept: Round up all the best football players in Stanislaus District, have them put on helmets and pads for the first time in a long time and see what transpires knowing that this might be the final chance to impress college scouts.
Coaching icons retire
Just the other day, Steve Feaver had a pleasant look on his face while watching his granddaughter, Molly, blow air into a plastic frog. It was one of those inflatable toys used to float two-year-olds in a backyard pool, something that will help her learn how to swim.
Turlock’s Culala never turned down opportunity to coach

Pitman volleyball takes down Turlock
In the raised stands of the old girls gym at Turlock High, fans stayed cool by fanning themselves with sheets of paper or whatever they got their hands on. Near the entrance were two gigantic fans blasting air inside to keep everyone from sweating. Not that a Pitman High-Turlock High volleyball match needs any special circumstances. In front of hundreds of fans, the Pitman players ruled the place with a 25-17, 25-17, ...
Hilmar volleyball setting stage for league title run
MODESTO - On Monday evening, the Hilmar High volleyball team won three of four sets against Modesto Christian High. But that one loss is not a big deal. According to coach Patti Harris, the Yellowjackets always find a way to win. "They play consistent," she said. "They don't take too many dips - up and down, up and down. They're pretty consistent as a team." It's been mostly ups. The Yellowjackets' ...
Bulldogs tennis improves to 5-0
The Turlock High girls tennis team wants another Central California Conference title, and not even crosstown rival Pitman High could stop the Bulldogs. Turlock won Tuesday's meeting by capturing eight of the nine matches at the Pitman High tennis courts. The Bulldogs, who won all of their doubles matches and five of their six singles matches, remain in control of the league standings with a 5-0 record. Pitman dropped to 3-2 in ...
PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
After continuing the school's best start ever, the Pitman High football team is taking the week off. No game this Friday night. Just another week of much-needed practice, though the Pride are 5-0. Their coach, Brandon Harris, believes his team still has a lot of work left to do. It doesn't matter that the Pride easily handled another opponent last week. This time, it was a 42-0 thumping at Franklin High in ...
PREP SPORTS NOTEBOOK
It was a nice little break for the Pitman High volleyball team, seeing how competitive the Central California Conference can be. Last weekend, the Pride made the trek to Oakdale High and came back with the school's tournament title after beating the host team in two games in the championship. "Every player on the team did their part to help with the win," Pitman coach Kristen Pontes said. "All of the girls ...
Yellowjackets hand Ripon first loss
HILMAR - The Hilmar High football team was not intimidated by Ripon High's undefeated record heading into Friday's Trans-Valley League opener. The Yellowjackets, whom coach Frank Marques has dubbed one of his most talented teams, had an all-around performance in front of thousands of fans at their own football field and stomped all over Ripon with a 49-13 thrashing. Hilmar, now 4-1, gave the Indians (4-1) their first loss of the season. <p ...
Bulldogs continue dominant campaign
When he sees his teammates slipping, Turlock High boys soccer defender Diego Godinez is not shy about letting them know. He'd yell, "Keep up the intensity!" Or shout, "Act like you want it!" Or simply scream out: "Let's go!" But the loudest statement made Thursday afternoon at the Turlock Regional Sports Complex wasn't made by him. It was by his teammates. The Bulldogs, in the middle of one of ...
Bulldogs take sole possession of CCC, beat defending champ
Doug Sperry thought his Turlock High boys soccer team came out slow and flat against Golden Valley High on Tuesday night. His players agreed, as they succumbed to a game of long ball - "that's not our style," Sperry said - and allowed an early goal to the defending Central California Conference champion. The score was a much-needed wakeup call. From there, the Bulldogs took control. Two second-half goals to break a ...
Bulldogs survive chaotic end against Panthers
MODESTO - In coach James Peterson's mind, perhaps as well as in the minds of hundreds of spectators on the visiting side of Downey High's Hughes Stadium, the game should've ended with Sean Downs' knee softly touching the turf field. Instead, chaos broke out. After the Bulldogs emerged out of an early two-touchdown hole, they controlled the ball with a little over a minute left in Saturday night's nonconference showdown with Modesto ...
Pitman football achieves historic 4-0 mark
Soon after Friday night's game was over, the Pitman High football team, commanded by junior defender Nick Renteria, charged toward the crowded home side of Joe Debely Stadium. Renteria got up on the railing and began pumping his arms. His antics caused quite a commotion, with fans roaring back and his teammates, who were surrounding him, doing the exact same thing. On this night, the Pride had a lot to cheer about. <p ...
Bulldogs beat league foes en route to tournament title
For the Turlock High boys water polo team, one of the benefits of winning last weekend's Central Cal Tournament is that the Bulldogs got a glimpse of what's ahead in the Central California Conference. What the Bulldogs noticed was they're well ahead of their competition, as they captured back-to-back tournament titles on Saturday after handing Merced High a 14-4 thumping in the championship match but only after they convincingly marched past Atwater High ...
PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
The Hilmar High football team secured another statement win on Saturday afternoon, when the Yellowjackets emerged out of Castroville with a 33-6 nonconference victory over North Monterey County High. The Yellowjackets (3-1 overall) scored all 33 of their points before the Condors, who were playing without their suspended starting quarterback, got a meaningless score late in the game. Hilmar scored on its first play only 20 seconds into the game after quarterback Andrew ...
Bulldogs wrap up first day of tourney with 3-0 record
The Turlock High boys water polo team concluded Friday's opening rounds of the Central Cal Tournament with a 3-0 record, and the Bulldogs credited their winnings to what happened a week ago. At the John Schmitt Tournament in San Jose, where 32 teams competed, the Bulldogs captured three wins. But their two losses and experiences against some strong, unfamiliar teams helped them beyond that weekend, they said. "We were challenged," Turlock coach ...
Soccer teams kick off season in right direction
So far, the Turlock High boys soccer team has proven it can repeat last season's success. Better yet, the Bulldogs might just surpass it. Last season, they made the playoffs for the first time in seven years. This season, they're 12-0-1 overall and 3-0 in the Central California Conference before a big-time showdown against Golden Valley High on Tuesday night at Debely Stadium. In other words, they want to continue improving - ...
PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
It didn't take long for the Turlock High football players to get rid of the doubts and frustrations in their heads. They took that all out on Davis High last Friday night, when the Bulldogs controlled the nonconference game from the beginning. Long story short: Bulldogs won 54-22. Turlock coach James Peterson called the win "a complete game." The Bulldogs are happy to hear that. On Sept. 2, just the second ...
