So, this is what I do each day, knowing we have two reporters to send to games this afternoon, it’s left for me to pick the best two. The one that stands out the most is Los Altos at Bonita softball. Not just because Bonita’s Courtney Gano is facing her old team, but her old team is on roll, having just won the Whittier tournament. Los Altos is 7-2 and 1-0 in the Hacienda while the Bearcats are 12-2 and playing their first Hacienda league game. This game was originally scheduled for Los Altos, but I got an email today saying it was switched to Bonita. In baseball, we’re covering Los Osos (4-3, 0-2) at Glendora (6-2, 3-0), simply because we haven’t had a chance to cover the Tartans, and obvioulsy they’re playing well in the Baseline and deserve coverage. Plus, it’s nice to watch the Tartans roll through the Baseline, a league they shouldn’t be in, but if it has to be, nothing better than sticking it to them with Ws. BTW, here’s a teaser, tomorrow I’m all over South Hills at Charter Oak baseball.

Below: How time flies, this was Courtney Gano after hitting a home run for Los Altos as a freshman. Today the senior will be wearing Bonita green against Los Altos.
