As a former screenwriter, I can attest that studios have paid me large sums of money for stories half as good as this. Bonsall High, now in its 10th year, is a tiny upstart of a school. It was conceived out of a grassroots effort of dedicated PTA moms who wanted their kids to continue the small community feeling their kids enjoyed at Bonsall Elementary, Bonsall West Elementary, Vivian Banks Charter and Sullivan Middle in high school. These parents had an uphill battle on...
Under the new leadership of Coach Bernard Cantrell, the Bonsall High School boys basketball team advanced to the CIF semifinals.

The team started the quarterfinal round, played at the Jim Banks Sports Center on Feb. 17, cold. In the first period, the opponents dropped every three point shot from the outside and Bonsall had no...

On three occasions during those 19 games, Ramona was held to 15 points including the Warriors’ 68-15 victory Jan. 12 in...

Bonsall High School's boys soccer team didn't mathematically clinch the Pioneer League championship with the Legionnaires' Monday, Jan. 29, victory against River Valley. The 5-0 road win, however, assured that the Snow Leopards could not surpass Bonsall in the standings and that The O'Farrell Charter School could win the league championship. That is, they could win only if the Falcons won all three of their remaining league games and Bonsall lost both remaining contests...

The CIF San Diego Section’s Board of Managers revised the playoff structure for boys lacrosse and girls lacrosse. A unanimous vote Wednesday, Jan. 17, reduced the number of Open Division teams in the playoffs from eight to six.
