CLAREMONT - Perhaps it was the postgame reaction of the Flintridge Prep football team on a sunny afternoon in Claremont that best signified just how far the Rebels have come in the span of just one year.

SOUTHEAST GLENDALE — Glendale High boys' volleyball Coach Ta'ase Mose was clearly frustrated after his team's latest loss Friday afternoon. Refusing to comment after the contest, and instead let his captain do the post-game interview, Mose witnessed a 25-17, 25-9, 25-11 shellacking at the hands of Claremont, who dominated all facets of the league match at Glendale High. "They're a good team, but I thought we could have won a game if we passed better," said Glendale senior outside hitter and captain Regan Ornopia after the team's second Pacific League loss in as many matches.
