STALEMATE
Sierra junior Jessica Cueca had a silent first half Friday night. The second half was quite the contrary. Sierra played inspired soccer during the final 40 minutes as Cueca put in the Timberwolves' only score during a 1-1 Valley Oak League tie against East Union at Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium. Cueca almost won the game for Sierra (2-3-1 VOL, 6-5-3 overall) in stoppage time, too. The shot sailed a foot to the right and EU ...
T’wolves take it out on Buffs
Sommer Wilson watched the ball loop toward her, a slow-cruising changeup that finished at the belt.
Right man, right spot for surging Buffs
The East Union baseball team struggled to deliver the finishing blow on Friday evening. When given the chance, Manteca's Ezekiel Diaz wouldn't make the same mistake, delivering Manteca a 5-3 victory. Diaz doubled into the gap in right-center field to plate the eventual game-winning runs in the top of the 12 inning, bringing to close another classic chapter in this storied crosstown rivalry. Diaz produced three hits, none bigger than his two-run knock beneath a ...
Macedo, Boyd shine in EU loss
The Oakdale swim program had their way with East Union on Friday afternoon. Except when Janelle Macedo and Hayley Boyd were in the pool. The Mustangs rode into the weekend with two comfortable victories. Oakdale's boys lapped East Union 128-42, while the girls cruised to a 105-65 win. Macedo and Boyd were among the few bright spots for the Lancers, each earning an individual victory. They later teamed with two others to win the 400-yard ...
Throw-out score favors T’wolves
For Sierra golf coach Jeff Williams, a Valley Oak League victory never felt so unsettling. The Timberwolves edged crosstown rival Manteca on Thursday afternoon, but the manner in which they won the match will drive Williams' tutelage for the next few weeks. The box score suggests Sierra and Manteca left Manteca Park Golf Course locked in a stalemate: 244-244. But even in a gentleman's sport like golf, there can be no ties. Someone has to ...
Hat off to Morris, Buffaloes
WESTON RANCH – Sammie Morris was in her domain on Thursday. Manteca's senior forward record a hat trick during a 5-0 win over Weston Ranch, still looking for its second Valley Oak League victory. Meanwhile, Manteca improved to 5-2 in league, 12-4 overall. "I don't think we played the best we've ever played," said Morris, who also tallied two assists. "Usually it takes us a couple of minutes to get it together and actually play, ...
Sierra serves up revenge
The Sierra High boys tennis team has earned the right to rest. Rivalry week was a grind. The Timberwolves won their second match in as many days, this one a 5-4 decision at East Union under cloudy skies. Sierra began the week with a shutout loss to Manteca, but rebounded with victories over fellow Manteca Unified schools Lathrop and East Union. Thursday's triumph wasn't without suspense, though. The match went down to the last pairing, ...
CHERISH THE MOMENT
East Union's Cherish Burks sent the Lancers' visiting crowd into a ruckus Wednesday.
T’wolves ranked top-10 nationally
Feared regionally, the Sierra softball team now has the respect of national pundits, too. For now, at least. The Timberwolves began Wednesday on a high, moving up five spots to No. 9 in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 National Softball Rankings following victories over Kimball and Weston Ranch last week. Then came the crash. The Timberwolves' 11-game, season-long winning streak was snapped Wednesday evening by East Union. Sophomore Cherish Burks homered and had the game-sealing outfield ...

Extra special win for Spartan baseball
LATHROP – The Lathrop baseball team didn't need to beat Ryan Stevenson. It just needed to outlast the Mother Lode's best player and Sonora's fiery ace, which it did in a thrilling 2-1 victory in 10 innings on Wednesday. Stevenson was his usual dominant self, striking out seven Spartans while allowing one run. But he wouldn't factor in the end result. Reliever Evan Estes plunked Lathrop's Preston Rizo to start the 10th inning. After a ...
