Maranatha Madness
I’m hearing good things out of Pasadena- specifically from the campus of Maranatha High School. The Minutemen finished 9-2 overall last year and won the Cottonwood League with a perfect record of 5-0. The Minutemen season ended with a 25-7 loss to Cantwell in the first round of the CIF Division 11 playoffs. This year the Minutemen have moved to the Mesquite League with the Christian schools – Western, Linfield, Whitter and Arrowhead along with Big Bear.
Last year Girls Flag Football began to scratch the surface. This year with so many other schools jumping on board we expect it to blow up. We covered several games last season and we are preparing to pump up the coverage this year as more local teams start participating. We expect to post many more schedules as the season approaches. Here is St. Paul’s schedule.
With the re-leaguing that took place for 2024 it was time for us to make some adjustments. This year there are 19 different leagues in our coverage area. That doesn’t mean we will cover every team in all 19 leagues but that there are teams that we cover in each league. For instance in the newly formed Mesquite League there are six teams that make up the league but only two that are in our area – Maranatha and Whittier Christian. However in leagues such as the Mission Valley, Rio Hondo and the Almont we cover all six teams in each league. When we say “coverage area” it means game stories for these teams, Top Ten eligibility and they will be mentioned in our weekly “Game Night” and “Scoreboard” Features. The season kicks off Thursday August 22.
Here are the Coverage Area Leagues:

The Los Angeles Chargers were back at training camp Saturday as part of the NFL’s Back Together Weekend. A sold out crowd was on hand to view the Chargers work through their paces. Here are a few images.
