Southern California Stealth Softball Team

Like the bomber of the same name, the Southern California Stealth is far more effective than it is secretive. Don Harris, 46, with three athletic daughters, founded the Valley-based girls' softball club only five seasons ago, and today the Stealth is among the most successful and recognized clubs in the country. That's why one parent called from as far as San Diego to ask Harris to give her daughter a tryout.

The Southern Section on Wednesday upheld Kilpatrick's 22-17 victory over Maranatha in an Alpha League game that was stopped following a fight on Saturday. Maranatha will appeal to league officials. Maranatha linebacker Terry Russo allegedly punched Kilpatrick Coach James Jackson late in the third quarter, triggering a five-minute melee. After consulting with coaches, officials stopped the game and declared Kilpatrick the winner.

You've got to have Hart to win close games. Hart High did it Wednesday--twice. Thanks to superb pitching and timely hitting, Hart took two games from Alemany by identical 1-0 scores in a softball doubleheader at Newhall Park. Nicolette Weinstein had the game-winning single in the bottom of the 12th inning of the opener and freshman Lindsey Kontra was the pitching star in the second game for Hart (4-0), ranked No. 7 in the region by The Times.
