The following summaries were provided by team coaches and/or representatives for some of this past week’s Santa Clarita Valley prep sports action. The Signal thanks all who submitted for helping get the word out about local athletes’ achievements. In the event that both teams submit reports on the same event, the reports will be edited to combine them into one summary:
Boys Tennis: Saugus 17, Golden Valley 1
Saugus played extremely well in their victory over Golden Valley on April 12. The Grizzles were down a man and had to default their No. 3 singles position on the day.
From coach Bailey Sindle: “I don’t think the score reflects how close some of the sets were. Golden Valley has a strong No. 1 singles player who pushed my three singles kids. All the matches were high-intensity and fun to watch. The No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams were also very talented.”
— Bailey Sindle, Saugus tennis coach
Girls Tennis: Hart 10, Saugus 8
The match was very tight in all three rounds on April 13. Saugus singles No. 1 Emily Christensen swept her three matches, No. 2 Julissa Diaz picked up a win, and No. 3 Sherry Salonga won two of her three sets.
On the doubles side, Saugus No. 1 doubles team of Brianna Cervantes and Natalie Ratzlaff won two of their three sets.
With only four matches left being played on the day, Saugus needed all four courts to tie the match at 9-9, which would lead to counting individual set scores to determine a winner. Saugus picked up three of the four wins but lost the last match being played, which secured Hart a 10-8 victory.
From coach Bailey Sindle: “The match was incredibly close all day. A lot of the sets were so close and could have gone either direction. We lost some critical sets today that we should have won. It’s tough because Hart and Saugus are known to compete for a playoff spot each year. I feel confident that we can bounce back and secure the win in a few weeks.”

Softball: Saugus 15, Canyon 0
The Saugus softball team earned a road victory against Canyon, 15-0 on April 14. Junior pitcher Alyssa Ramirez pitched a great game as she threw a no-hitter with nine strikeouts and one walk. Senior Allie Enright had 3 RBI, all
of which came via two home run shots. Sophomore Hailey Salgado went 3 for 4, including a double, 4 RBI and 2 runs. Sophomore Shae Sabedra went 3 for 4 with a double, 2 RBI and a run. Senior McKenna Gibson and sophomore Ashlynn Kovach each had a double while defensively played great. On the base paths, Maddie Campeau stole six bases on the day.
