College of the Canyons golfer Kristin Grimes won the Southern California Regional individual  championship by two strokes at San Luis Rey Downs Resort.

She was the only golfer to shoot under par in the two-round event. She was 1-under 71 on the first day of the tournament and followed with a 7-over 79 on the second day. She was 6-over 150 for the two rounds.

Kate Cho led a trio of golfers from Irvine Valley College who followed Grimes in the Southern California Regional championship.

Grimes, the reigning women’s state golf champion, is the second player from COC to win the Southern California Regional title. Jenny Lee won the Southern California Regional in 2007.

In high school volleyball, the Valencia girls won a nail-biter in five games over Flintridge Sacred Heart in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division IA playoffs.

Delaney Knudsen led the Vikings with 15 kills. Valencia won the fifth game, 15-12, to take the match.

The Hart girls beat visiting Moorpark in four games in the first round of the Southern Section Division IA playoffs. Chase Tengberg led Hart with 12 kills off the bench.

West Ranch lost to Louisville in five games and was eliminated from the playoffs.

In high school football, West Ranch coach Sean O’Brien has decided to step down. He was the West Ranch football coach for four years and was 18-23 in that time.

His team is coming off a 2-8 season and won only one Foothill League game. He guided the Wildcats to their only playoff appearance in 2010.

About Connie Jones

Connie and her husband, John, moved to the Santa Clarita Valley almost 30 years ago. Living in Santa Clarita for that long is the direct opposite of Connie’s childhood. She was an Army ‘brat’ who moved every two to three years. Consequently, she has lived in many states and even spent three years in Europe. All three of her kids went to Santa Clarita schools. Connie says the best thing about her job at KHTS is that she is never bored. “If I’m not smiling, Carl is sure to ask why, just before giving me a mind-boggling project.” “KHTS AM-1220 is an integral part of our community and I’m glad to be a part of it. Besides, the DJs will take my request to play Shania Twain’s ‘Still the One’ for my wedding anniversary – gotta love that!”
