The unseen life of a high school baseball coach doing things when nobody is watching.

One-hitter with 14 strikeouts for Julian Garcia. 2-0 Bosco over Norco D1 champs. Again.

Final. St. John Bosco 3, Harvard-Westlake 1. Bosco vs Norco on Friday at 7 pm at CS Fullerton for D1 championship.

Can someone explain this formation

Orange Lutheran beats St. John Bosco 5-4.

It’s blocked. Centennial about to win 28-27 over Mater Dei. 2.1 left

Norco has beaten No. 1 St. John Bosco 3-2.

I got a tour of the new Intuit Dome and more than 1,500 high school jerseys from around California are going up on eight walls. It's such a cool, fun exhibit. This is what community is about. Steve Ballmer gets it. Each jersey is framed in glass and mounted.

Is this a thing for high school baseball coaches mowing infield on Thanksgiving? Peter Gunny.

Final. Santa Margarita 47, De La Salle 13. The Gatorade baths are happening. State Open Division champs.

This is how Notre Dame has opened 52-35 lead over St. Francis in third quarter. Defense.

Please, please tell me how he’s not being heavily recruited. Another amazing touchdown catch by Shane Rosenthal. Newbury Park 27, Lincoln 14. 1:59 left in third.

Unbelievable. Chatsworth throws ball out of bounds. LACES gets shot and Ryan Conner makes it. 52-49. Game over.

Trent Mosley 67-yard TD nullified by penalty.

All I have to say is "wow." Watch this pass from sophomore QB Chase Curren of Crespi at SoFi Stadium to sophomore receiver Blue McFarland vs. Harvard-Westlake on Saturday night.

Like father, like son. The son of Dorsey football coach Stafon Johnson returns punt for touchdown.

Incredible. In just hours Loyola High has put together donations for numerous students affected by fires.

Game winner with 21.2 left. Touchdown Courtney Miller-Thompson. Lincoln 34, Newbury Park 27.

My first golf shot in a year. The muscles need loosening.

Watch out Lane Kiffin. The new hottest coach is Carson Palmer. D1 champs in rookie season.

Jason Crowe Jr. ends his fabulous high school career with 34 points in Inglewood 84-65 loss to Damien. He finishes with 4,718 points in 124 games, the most points in California history.

A message from Palisades football coach insisting there will be a team for the 2025 season.

What an ending. Centennial 58, St. John Bosco 56 on an Aaron McBride steal and dunk with no time left.

Gail Goodrich scored 29 points in 1961 City final for Poly High. He scored 42 points for UCLA in 1965 NCAA final. He led the Lakers in scoring during the NBA championship year of 1971-72. Los Angeles sports legend. 82 years old and humble as ever.

The rookie head coach Carson Palmer wishes his team could keep playing after winning two titles.

One of the top flag football teams is Camarillo, led by basketball point guard Mya Rei Smith, the quarterback. Athlete. This is what happens when you get your top girl athletes out for flag football. Camarillo is 16-1.

15-year-old freshman DE Richard Wesley lifting 495-pounds. Sierra Canyon.

It’s a miracle finish. With no time left. Ball goes off hands of Peyton Waters into hands of Devyn Jackson. Birmingham wins 30-28!!

St. John Bosco stops the two-point conversion. 43-42 lead over Centennial with 8 seconds left.

This is an example of leadership. Alijah Arenas embracing every teammate while feeling miserable after loss to Jesuit in state finals. All-time City scoring leader. Remember the moment.

Jack Champlin comes through as the closer. St. John Bosco beats Corona 2-0. On to the Division 1 final. All-Trinity League.

Servite speed.
