Fallbrook High School's tennis team won all 10 Valley League matches during the 2020-21 season, giving the Warriors the league championship. "It's kind of cool to think that we might go down as the only co-ed league champions ever," said Fallbrook coach Bill Lenaway. The coronavirus shutdown delayed the start of CIF sports until February. Girls tennis is normally a fall sport and boys tennis is normally a spring sport. Boys and girls tennis were combined for the 2020-21 season including mixed doubles sets for the first time...

Twelve teams were selected for the CIF Division II playoffs based on power rankings which factor records and strength of schedule. Fallbrook was 14th in the power rankings among the Division II schools. The Warriors had a 6-6-4 overall record, and their 4-3-3 statistic in Valley League play was worth third place in the six-team standings. The 2020-21 CIF girls soccer playoffs did not include Fallbrook High School. "It was a disappointment. I think we had a good squad and would have loved to make the playoffs," said Fallbrook...

The tie breaking criteria for the league championship if two teams have identical league and head-to-head records is sets won in head-to-head competition, and Horizon Prep had the better statistic in that tiebreaker to give the Lions the league championship.

Fallbrook High School's boys water polo team began play April 29, and the Warriors split their first two games. The official score of Fallbrook's April 29 home win against Rancho Buena Vista was 5-0 since that is the official score of a forfeited game. RBV only had six players and had to forfeit, but Fallbrook coach Bill Richardson and RBV coach Kim Hockett arranged to have a full game with Fallbrook loaning a handful of players to the Longhorns. The unofficial game ended...

After winning a July 2020 stakes race in England, Whisper Not was sent to California for races at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and Santa Anita Park. He was entrusted to trainer Richard Baltas, who stabled the colt at the San Luis Rey Training Center in 2020 when he was not at a track.

Two positive COVID-19 tests wiped out four weeks of practice for the Fallbrook High School wrestling team, and the second quarantine ended the day the Warriors had a meet at San Marcos. The April 29 meet was the first of the season for Fallbrook although not the first scheduled meet, and San Marcos won the Palomar League meet by a 69-9 score. "I finally got a meet in.

"We're on a little bit of a roll," said Bonsall coach Chuck Colletti. "We're playing very good team defense and the boys are basically shooting the ball pretty well right now." The winning streak followed three consecutive losses...
Fallbrook High School's girls water polo program has 23 student-athletes. Ten of those are on the varsity roster, although some of the 13 junior varsity players are expected to see varsity action. In the absence of a 20-second exclusion penalty, seven players from each team are in the pool at one time. Having only three substitutes makes benching all starters to avoid running up the score mathematically impossible, so the Warriors opened their season with a 20-2 victory April 29 at home against Rancho Buena Vista and then...
Valley League play for Fallbrook High School's boys basketball team began April 30 with a home game against San Pasqual, and the Warriors traveled to San Pasqual for a May 1 contest.

"It was very frustrating to start the year, but I'm glad it was the way it was." Golshani noted that the tough pre-league schedule ensured that the...
