Local high school track and field athletes will be in hot pursuit of peak performance this week when they toe the starting line at the North Bay League Championships.

Local high school softball teams are steaming toward likely North Coast Section playoff berths this week, looking to close out their respective league schedules on a positive note.

The sledding has been tough for Analy and El Molino varsity baseball teams in a challenging second half to the North Bay League baseball campaign, with both teams looking to right the ship in the final week of the regular season.  

The varsity baseball Eagles hit a road-bump in NCL1 baseball action, dropping close decisions to Kelseyville (6-5) and Fort Bragg (5-2).

It’s been said many times that the only thing tougher than winning a championship is defending one.

It’s been said more than once that the three most important aspects of baseball are pitching, pitching and pitching.

It’s getting late early on the local high school baseball diamond for teams with post-season aspirations, as El Molino and Analy squads look for a strong finish to their respective North Bay League schedules.

Analy and El Molino track teams turned up the heat in a pair of home dual meets on April 17, as the Tigers played host to Healdsburg, while the Lions entertained Montgomery.

The Eagles remained unbeaten for the 2019 high school softball campaign with another pair of lopsided wins, claiming Clear Lake and Willits as their latest victims.

Analy and El Molino logged a busy stretch on the high school softball diamond, combining for nine games in a four-day period.
