Prep talk: Servite is building around four freshmen offensive linemen
Servite High football coach Chris Reinert is running around spring practices teaching fundamentals. If he ever takes a moment to look over at the offensive linemen and remembers that four are currently freshmen with varsity experience, he just might smile. He knows that Elisha Mueller, Brody Black, Keiden Lokeni and Trey Iosua are a building block to make Servite a legitimate player in the tough Trinity League. Mueller, in particular, could be Servite's next NFL prospect in the mold of first-round draft pick Mason Graham. He's 6 feet 4 and closing in on 300 pounds. He's fierce, competitive and a team player. 'He's everything you want in an offensive lineman,' Reinert said. 'He's big, physical, nasty and has an attitude.' Servite doesn't have its track and field athletes out for spring ball. They're busy trying to win a CIF championship with all their speed, but come summer, beware. Servite will be competing in seven-on-seven tournaments on June 28 at St. John Bosco and July 12 in the Battle at the Beach at Edison. And remember the people up front will be very good. … The Southern Section will release its baseball and softball pairings on Monday. … It's a big weekend ahead for championships in Southern Section lacrosse and boys' volleyball. The City Section will hold its volleyball championships on Saturday. This is a daily look at the positive happenings in high school sports. To submit any news, please email

Arkansas' Kendall Todd ties women's NCAA record for lowest score in relation to par with 61
Arkansas' Kendall Todd ties women's NCAA record for lowest score in relation to par with 61 Un. REAL. 🤯 • Lowest 18-hole score in program history • Lowest score to par in program history — Razorback Women's Golf (@RazorbackWGolf) March 30, 2025 So many of the world's best female amateurs are playing well heading into the Augusta National Women's Amateur, but no one had a better final performance leading into the event than Kendall Todd. The senior at Arkansas shot 11-under 61 on Sunday in the final round of the Clemson Invitational at The Reserve At Lake Keowee in Sunset, South Carolina. Todd had 11 birdies in the final round, which started Saturday and finished Sunday, and moved 11 spots up the leaderboard for a solo second finish, one shot behind Ohio State's Kary Hollenbaugh. The 61 is the lowest 18-hole score in program history and lowest score to par in program history. In addition, she tied the NCAA record for lowest score in relation to par, set in September of 2023 by N.C. State's Lauren Olivares Leon, when she became the first woman to shoot 60 in college golf history. Todd, ranked 12th in the NCAA golf rankings and 32nd in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, becomes the sixth player to shoot 61 in the history of women's college golf. The others: 61 – Anna Zanusso, Denver University: Second round of the Westbrook Invitational in Peoria, Arizona, on Feb. 23, 2020 61 – Julia Johnson, University of Mississippi: Third round of the Battle at the Beach in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, on Nov. 3, 2019 61 – Bianca Pagdanganan, Gonzaga: Second round of the Pizza Hut Thunderbird Invitational in George, Utah, on March 17, 2017 61 – Esther Lee, University of Colorado: First round of the Dick McGuire Invitational in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Sept. 12, 2016 61 – Mariah Stackhouse, Stanford: Second round of the Peg Barnard Invitational in Stanford, California, on Feb. 17, 2013 Todd's finish helped Arkansas finish second, 10 shots behind Ohio State. The win for Hollenbaugh is her third this spring. She came in at 16 under for the week, finishing one stroke ahead of Todd. Last summer, Todd advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Women's Amateur at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Now she heads to Augusta National looking to build on her record-tying performance.

Sage Hill girls' basketball returns to regional finals
Sage Hill's sensational run in the state playoffs has so far lacked the drama of close games, the Lightning instead providing plenty of shock value in quickly jumping on opponents at home. The formula resulted in another convincing win for the hosts, as Sage Hill topped Los Angeles Brentwood 59-39 in a CIF State Southern California Regional Division I semifinal on Saturday night inside Peter V. Ueberroth Gymnasium. In under five minutes, the Lightning had a 12-0 lead, sophomore shooting guard Kamdyn Klamberg providing seven of those points to begin a performance that saw her finish with game-high totals of 21 points and nine rebounds. The backcourt duo of junior point guard Amalia Holguin and Klamberg combined for the Lightning's initial 15 points. Sage Hill exploded offensively to take a 23-9 lead after the first quarter, then limited Brentwood to just three points in the second quarter to take a commanding 37-12 advantage into halftime. Second-seeded Sage Hill (22-11) remains home to face Los Angeles Windward (21-10) in the regional final on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Windward earned a 79-55 win at top-seeded Fairmont Prep in the other semifinal. It will be the second regional final in four years for the program, but when reminded that it would be her first title-game appearance as a member of the Lightning, the even-keeled Klamberg volunteered that she was 'excited' to play in the game. Sage Hill played Windward twice within the first month of the season. The Lightning beat the Wildcats 69-58 in the Harvard-Westlake Invitational, then again by a score of 70-55 in the Battle at the Beach at Redondo Union High. 'When you play teams multiple times in a season, they're going to figure out your quirks, and the little things that you do, and try to take those things away,' Sage Hill coach Kerwin Walters said. 'We are ecstatic to have the opportunity to play them. I'm sure they're ecstatic about playing us because nothing's sweeter than revenge.' Holguin scored a dozen points to go with five assists, four steals and four rebounds. Freshman center Eve Fowler had eight points, seven rebounds and two assists. Freshman small forward Addison Uphoff also scored eight points, and senior forward Isabella Rose had five points and three rebounds off the bench. Asked why she thought her team have had fast starts during the playoffs, Fowler attributed it to the Lightnings' high sense of energy. 'I think part of the reason why is just like getting back on our feet and coming out with that energy, like, 'Let's go do this. Let's go make a run in this thing,'' Fowler said. 'Knowing that Brentwood [had] shooters, we had that expectation where we had to get out on the shooters, and we had to force them certain ways, based on our film study.' Fowler and Uphoff, both of whom missed time leading up to the regional playoffs, visited the athletic trainers after the game. 'I want to shout out my athletic trainers for getting us both back on our feet,' Fowler said. 'I feel like that was a big role in getting us back on the court and making us [part of] this run.' All Open Division teams in the Southern Section playoffs got a bid into state playoffs, providing not only an opportunity for recovery but something to look forward to. 'We are an Open [Division] team, and I think when we're at full strength, we can be really good,' Uphoff said. 'It was bad timing with both injuries, and people were sick and stuff, but I definitely think it's helping our confidence. We're just getting better and better each practice.' The Lightning won the battle of the boards, outrebounding the Eagles 32-23. Klamberg had three offensive rebounds leading directly to points, and she also had a traditional three-point play with a physical finish in the lane in the second half. 'It was a very fast-paced game today, so grabbing those rebounds, getting up there and grabbing them super strong was amazing,' Klamberg said. 'I am really grateful for my team because everybody else was boxing out.' Senior guard Lev Feiman had nine points, five rebounds, three blocked shots and three steals to lead Brentwood (27-9). Senior guard Payton Sugar had eight points and five rebounds. Sophomore guard Reena White added seven points, five rebounds and five steals. Sophomore guard Kelsey Sugar contributed seven points, three assists and three steals. 'All these teams are really good,' Walters added. 'Any given night, they can go off, and our job is to make sure that doesn't happen. So far, we've been playing really outstanding defense. Our communication on the defensive end has been really, really good, really solid, just recognizing players and what their comforts are and what they're trying to get to. 'That being the case, I couldn't ask for anything more on the defense, but as you know, we're all going to ask for more.'
