STUDIO CITY - Whether or not anyone within the Pacific League or CIF Southern Section Division V will stop the Crescenta Valley High girls' water polo team from repeating as CIF Southern Section divisional champion will not be determined for weeks. In the meanwhile, the Falcons had no problems demonstrating that they could play in another stratum, as Division V second-ranked Crescenta Valley was at times dominant in frustrating and ultimately defeating Division III No. 2 Harvard-Westlake, 15-9, on the road Wednesday afternoon.

LA CAÑADA - Nearly 1,900 feet above sea level, the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy girls' volleyball program knows a little something about altitude. And it was all about attitude that put the Tologs in rarefied air Thursday evening. For the first time in seven years and 15 consecutive matches, Flintridge Sacred Heart defeated rival Harvard-Westlake, 25-23, 25-27, 25-21, 25-19 to split leadership atop the Mission League standings and at least put the Tologs on track for a share of the program's first league crown since 2006.

If you're looking forward to a film about a North American weasel or a fullback from the University of Michigan, look elsewhere. However, unless you've been on a meditative retreat for the last decade and a half, you doubtless already know that "The Wolverine" is another installment in the ongoing "X-Men" franchise, with Hugh Jackman assaying the title role for the sixth time. 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" showed us the young Wolverine/Logan; the new film shows us the oldest Wolverine yet. He may look 40ish, but he's actually a very well-preserved 150?

LOS ANGELES - When the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy swimming team took its seat atop the Mission League back last year, it did so with depth. It takes a different approach this year for the Tologs, who relied on their stars of Kirsten Vose, Katie Altmayer, Emily Balog and Kate Herrill to deliver a 99-84 victory over host Harvard-Westlake in a league dual meet Tuesday at Loyola High. That foursome started the meet with a win and CIF Southern Section Division I postseason consideration time in the 200-yard medley of 1 minute, 54.39 seconds and at least one member of that group had a hand in all nine of the Tologs' wins on the day. Flintrdge Sacred Heart won just five events in a 99-77 win over Harvard Westlake last season.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD - Trailing by 26 points with less than 11 minutes remaining, the St. Francis High football team finally got back on track. A couple of recovered onside kicks led to two touchdowns. And the Golden Knights had one last chance to complete a miraculous comeback, but saw their bid fall short in the closing seconds. “It was a valiant effort and they fought to the end,” said St. Francis Coach Jim Bonds, whose team suffered a 41-36 road Mission League loss against Harvard-Westlake on Friday night.

GLENDALE - It had been 10 years since the Glendale Community College football team had matched up with San Bernardino Valley College, which traveled to Sartoris Field Saturday. The Vaqueros may not mind if it's another decade until they meet again after the Wolverines defeated them, 35-0, at Sartoris Field. San Bernardino's offense vastly outproduced Glendale in the game, as the Wolverines racked up 500 yards of total offense compared to GCC's 54, including 200 to 16 through the air and 300 to 38 on the ground.

Kaplanyan scored a game-tying goal to complete a comeback from down five goals and send the Tornadoes' CIF Southern Section Division IV quarterfinal match against Palm Desert at Burbank High to overtime moments after a timekeeping error resulted in a replay of the final 30 seconds.
