The smug look of the Republicans after the Massachusetts Senate Race. Is that a morsel of Democratic hide dangling from their jaws?
One comment that I received stated: “It might be their young they’ve eaten. Republicans don’t care about anyone’s survival except their own.”

REDLANDS, CA – The Redlands East Valley Wildcats scored three goals in the first 15 minutes and were never headed in a 5-0 defeat of the Fontana Steelers, Friday, in a Citrus Belt League girl’s soccer match up.
“We knew it would be tough, they’re a great talent and probably the best team in league this year,” said Fontana coach, Armando Fresquez.
After the Steelers gave up the three early goals, the defense toughened the rest of the way. Fresquez especially lauded his goalkeeper, Edith Brito. Click to continue »

FONTANA, CA – If Summit boy’s basketball coach, Steve Hickey, were to quiz his Sky Hawks, he’d probably start by asking, “what part of our game is the most important factor that has led us our 22 wins?”
He’d probably hear a resounding, “defense!”
And it was the Sky Hawks defense that held the CIF Div 1A’s number four rated team to just 18 second half points in rout to a come-from-behind, 51-44, victory over the visiting San Bernardino Cajon Cowboys, Saturday night at Summit High School.
“We have talked to them all year that our defense will carry our offense,” Hickey said. “We realized we had to play defense and let the game come to us and get a feel for the game that way.”
