Signing Day: Who’s signing where on Wednesday?

So far for football we have two area signees: St. Francis’ Patrick Carroll (UNLV) and La Salle’s Kishon Sanders (UTEP). We are shooting our football players at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday, and we’re also doing video. As for the other sports, we want to shoot them together at the Star-News. Anyone else want to be part of our group photo? E-mail me ASAP at miguel.melendez@sgvn.com

Star-News frantic rally falls short in inaugural Tribune vs. Star-News Girls Volleyball Senior All-Star Game.

CLICK HERE FOR A PHOTO GALLERY FROM WEDNESDAY’S MATCH

By Miguel A. Melendez
MONROVIA — This much is now clear: there’s rich talent on each side of the San Gabriel Valley.

That message was sent loud as the East withstood a frantic rally from the West to record a thrilling 25-22, 27-25, 23-25, 21-25, 16-14 victory in the inaugural San Gabriel Tribune vs. Pasadena Star-News Girls Volleyball Senior All-Star game at Monrovia High.

The East All-Stars, made up of senior standouts from the Tribune circulation area, were thought to be a more balanced team. But the West All-Stars, made up of players from the Star-News circulation area, proved every bit their worth.

No more than three points separated each team in the first two sets, eventually won by the East. There also were 13 ties in each set.
