Look for the Friars to challenge for this year's Trinity League title. Strong senior leadership along with very talented underclassmen Emanuel Dean (UCLA commit), Alec Rath (LMU), and Garret Guillemette (Oregon). The Friars opened the Loara Tournament yesterday with a 10-1 defeat of LB Wilson.

olu is always good in baseball. some very good pitchers. el toro has been really good recently. servite has improved a lot in recent years and should be quite good this year. sm hasnt been good since the year they won cif unfortuantely.

damn, what happened to OLU?

[Credo ut intelligam]

6-1 Servite currently #5 in the latest CIF-SS rankings; #10 in the L.A. Times Southland baseball rankings.

Is there a reason Mater Dei has yet to play a game?

[Credo ut intelligam]

(9-1) Servite up to #2 in latest CIF-SS D1 Poll.

UCLA commit Emanuel Dean '19 hit two HR's in comeback win over Corona Santiago yesterday.

I remember my first home run! I didn't flip the bat like that. Back in the day, you would get a 90 MPH pitch at your chin. Frustrated football fan?

Servite takes on nationally ranked IMG Academy today at 12pm at America Park in Fullerton.

[Playthegame]

No hesitation for the Friars...any updates on this game?

[Playthegame]

Just saw, 5-3 IMG..

[Credo ut intelligam]

Servite had bases loaded with one out in the top of the 7th, down 5-3, when the game ended with a double-play. Two very close losses this week, both to nationally ranked teams per MaxPreps (#6 Valley Christian, San Jose, CA; #10 IMG, Bradenton, FL). Trinity League should be great this year.

It's up to the Monarchs to take down IMG in football and represent SoCal H.S. sports....

[Playthegame]

Great effort...that's Baseball...

After the first week of Trinity League play it looks like top teams are in South County. Santa Margarita completed a 3 game sweep of Mater Dei and Jserra took 2 out 3 from Servite.

[Credo ut intelligam]

Servite bounces back this week, taking the first two of three against SM. Looking for a sweep at home on Friday.

[Credo ut intelligam]

Servite takes three from SM last week. Big series this week against OLU, also 4-2 in Trinity League play thus far.
