Cornerstone broke Rio Mesa's streak of 28 straight victories, which the Spartans set in 1980-81.

It's not often that you find a player perfect at the plate four games into the season.

Senior center fielder Amber Sanders had a two-RBI double in the fourth inning and the game-winning RBI single in the sixth inning as the Royal High softball team opened Marmonte League play with a key 4-3 win over crosstown rivals Simi Valley Tuesday afternoon.

Pitcher Nancy Bowling struck out 10 to improve to 4-1.

Royal (4-1, 1-0) and Simi Valley (4-1, 0-1) entered the league opener a combined 7-1.

Taylor Cartwright had RBI singles in the first and third innings to stake the Pioneers to a 2-0 lead. Calli Grant was 1 for 2, scored twice and had a stolen base.

Camarillo boys' volleyball coach Rob Vandermay brought team outside and told them not to come back into the gym until they were ready to play.

And his Scorpions responded by taking the final two games of a five-game thriller with visiting Ventura Tuesday night, 25-21, 25-27, 15-25, 25-19, 15-11.

"I was proud of the way they responded," said Vandermay.

Danny Reilly had 15 kills and five blocks, Christian VanOuwerkerk and Connor Hoybjerg had eight kills apiece, Jesse Flitt had 40 assists and Jose Rojas had 10 digs for Camarillo (9-2), which gained a measure of revenge against the team which won its Camarillo tournament.

Tylour Mullaney and Kevin Tanner had 15 assists apiece for Ventura (8-2), which was without starting setter Zach Svenson. Michael Henchy and Dustin Neary had 10 kills apiece. 

Julian Ramon spurred a five-run first inning with a two-run home run and Mikel Beltran scattered five hits to earn his third win as the Oxnard High baseball team stayed atop the Pacific View League standings with a 7-5 win over visiting Camarillo Tuesday afternoon.

Anthony Alvarez was 2 for 2 with two runs scored and J.R. Baneulos was 2 for 3 with an RBI for the Yellowjackets (7-2, 3-0).

"It's a great start," said Oxnard coach Al Tarazon. "But it doesn't mean a hill of beans unless you take care of business on Thursday."

Camarillo, which hosts Oxnard Thursday afternoon, pulled within 5-4 with a four-run third inning highlighted by Taylor Hansen's three-run home run.

Kevin Minjares was 2 for 4 with a double and a run scored and Andy Yingling was 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run for Camarillo (7-2, 2-1).

The best matchup in high school baseball this spring might not necessarily involve team vs. team.
It could be player vs. player, with the compelling matchup featuring Westlake's standout hitter Christian Yelich vs. Royal's star pitcher Cody Buckel.
The two will likely hook up March 24, when Royal visits Westlake in a key Marmonte League match.
Yelich, a third baseman/first baseman, has already signed with the University of Miami, but could be selected in the early round in the Major League draft in June. Ditto for Buckel, who has signed with Pepperdine but might have to choose between college and signing a professional contract.

Alex Morgan of Ventura High set school and stadium records for the girls' discus with a throw of 149 feet, 10 inches Saturday at the Ventura Track and Field Invitational.

The Rio Mesa High boys' 4x100 relay set a Ventura County record and moved to the top of the national leaderboard Saturday at the Ventura Track and Field Invitational at Larrabee Stadium.

For the Oaks Christian School girls and boys basketball teams, berths in the CIF-State basketball tournament were well received.
They also necessitated some scrambling.
Andre Chevalier, the girls head coach, said his team suspected its season was over when it lost in the semifinals of the CIF-SS Division IV-A playoffs to St. Joseph on Feb. 27.
"It wasn't until the following Monday that we heard it was a possibility," he said. "So we were able to go back to practicing.
The Lions ended up with 11 days between games. Oaks Christian lost to host Bishop Montgomery on Tuesday night in the opening round of the state playoffs, 79-58.
The Oaks Christian boys won their first round game at host Kingsburg on Tuesday, 72-50, but faced a different kind of challenge in preparing for the state playoffs.
Oaks Christian lost to Alemany in the quarterfinals of the Division IV-A playoffs, and largely assumed its season was over. Some players joined their club teams, which rendered them ineligible to compete in the state tournament.
Oaks Christian plays powerhouse Price High on Thursday night.

Todd Sandell of Somis, who was a member of the Camarillo High baseball team that won a CIF-Southern Section championship in 2002, has signed a professional contract with Lincoln, Neb. Saltdogs.
Sandell also played for Fresno State University.

Four area teams survived the first round of the CIF Southern California Regional playoffs and will play in the second round on Thursday night.

In Division III girls, Buena plays at top-seeded Santa Margarita at 6 p.m. and fourth-seeded Agoura hosts Bishop Amat at 7 p.m.

In Division IV boys, Oaks Christian plays at top-seeded Price at 7.

In Division V boys, Besant Hill is at Windward at 7.

Despite 29 points from Brianna Barrett, Oaks Christian lost to Bishop Montgomery, 79-58, Tuesday night in the first round of the Division IV girls' basketball Southern California Regionals on the road.

Besant Hill won the first state tournament boys' basketball game in program history Tuesday night.

Isaac Archibeque of Ventura placed fourth in the 171-pound weight class at the CIF State Wrestling Tournament Saturday in Bakersfield.

Agoura High's dream of a perfect season ended Saturday in the CIF-Southern Section Division III-AA girls' basketball championship game at The Pyramid in Long Beach.

Matt Hickman of Camarillo and Isaac Archibeque of Ventura are contending for third-place finishes at the CIF State Wrestling Tournament in Bakersfield.

Besant Hill became the first Ventura County boys' basketball team in 18 years to win back-to-back section titles Friday night with a 55-45 win over Sierra Canyon for the Division V-A title at Colony High.

Francois Tchoyi sat out the last seven minutes of the third quarter after drawing his fourth foul. Besant Hill teammate Ivan Matip was called for his fourth with 3.7 seconds left in the quarter.

Using a 14-0 run, Besant Hill stormed back to take a 30-29 halftime lead.

With Besant Hill's Ivan Matip whistled for his second foul with 1:45 left in the first quarter, Sierra Hill went to Michael Cohen, who scored the final two baskets in a 6-0 run to take an 18-12 lead,

In the Division VI-A boys' basketball game that finished before Besant Hill took the court Friday night at Colony High, Kilpatrick won the program's first section title.

The CIF-SS basketball finals schedule has been released for this weekend. The Agoura High girls and Besant Hill boys are the area teams still remaining with a shot at a title. If you want to attend, here is when they play:
