San Dimas Solid in Mid-Valley

San Dimas is solid in the Mid-Valley Division. Thank you Captain Obvious. San Dimas is always solid in the Mid-Valley. But the feeling among some is that with Monrovia being shipped to the Central all the Saints have to do is show up and they can cruise to their second straight Mid-Valley title.

Can Pasadena Compete in Pacific?

We know Muir always has athletes and John Hardy might be one of the best coaches in the Southeast Division. Burbank has several key players returning including James “Boobie” Williams.

Catching up with Manny Acosta

Love stories like this…Back in the day we used to cover Little League and one of the seven leagues that we covered was South El Monte National that played at New Temple Park. Manny Acosta played shortstop and pitched for the SEM National Pirates and had the word “potential” written all over him.

Galaxy Fit to be Tied

(Carson) – A tie is usually equated to kissing your sister, but for the Galaxy Friday night it was much worse than that. It was more like winning the lottery but losing the ticket on the way to collect.

The Peterson Principle: 8/4/14

Joe Theisman’s injury was bad; Kevin Ware’s was brutal. Tim Krumrie, whose leg snapped in two places in the Super Bowl in 1989, was hard to watch as well. The injury to Indiana’s Paul George in Las Vegas Friday night was the worst I ever saw.
