Beckman

LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE — There was a hint of apprehension on the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy soccer team’s sideline when it opened up against visiting Beckman in the opening round of the CIF Southern Section Division II playoffs. No. 1 seed or not, the Tologs were wary of a Patriots team that had made its way to the first round via a wild card. The reasoning for concern showed early and often as Beckman gave Sacred Heart all it could handle on Thursday night at St. Francis High’s Friedman Field.

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — After 60 minutes of regulation and another 15 minutes watching penalty shots, the members of the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy soccer team were in a festive mood. They can thank a first-year player, who had already mastered the art of the penalty kick. Freshman forward Savannah Viola converted on a game-winning penalty kick in the sixth round to help lead Flintridge Sacred Heart to a 1-1 (6-5) victory on Tuesday afternoon in the championship match of the annual Los Tacos Holiday Festival at the Glendale Sports Complex.

GLENDALE — In its bid to repeat as Mission League champion, the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy soccer team finished second despite going unbeaten in league play. In their bid to win a CIF Southern Section Division II championship, the Tologs’ run ended in the semifinals in a penalty kick shootout against Beckman, as Sacred Heart went 2-0-2 in four games against Beckman and league-rival Harvard-Westlake, the two teams that made it to the finals. Thus, the Tologs find themselves with one last shot at championship glory, as they face Desert Christian today at 4 p.m. at the Glendale Sports Complex in a semifinal match of the CIF Southern California Division III Regional Championships.

Junior twins and doubles partners Hayley and Miranda Young won 18 of 19 games to help lead Corona del Mar High to an 11-7 Pacific Coast League girls tennis victory over visiting Laguna Beach Thursday. The Sea Kings, ranked No. 4 in CIF Southern Section Division I, won 7 of 9 doubles sets to top the Breakers, ranked No. 3 in CIF Division I. CdM junior No. 1 singles player Michelle Atkins posted what Sea Kings Coach Brian Ricker called a crucial 7-5 win over Kelly Ammerman.

GLENDALE — In a season of firsts for the soccer team of Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy — among them a first-ever Mission League title to go with an unprecedented run as the CIF Southern Section Division II top-ranked team — it’s still looking to make even more history. And in those hopes, comes the realization that a wonderful regular season is most assuredly over and done with. “We can’t be excited to be the No. 1 seed, that’s history.

BURBANK — They weren't exactly the conditions Holy Family basketball Coach Ernest Siy hoped to deal with, but he had no other options. Reduced to fielding only seven players, Holy Family was forced to scrap Friday afternoon during its opening-round game of the Providence Summer Tournament. The Gaels barely had any bench players and two of their starters were out of town on previous engagements. A depleted Holy Family squad struggled at times throughout a 29-21 loss to Beckman at Providence High.
