Varsity Vibes | An Early Look at Fall 2026
Takeaways:
I report that La Quinta showed early promise but had inconsistency after their big opening win.
I note Desert Hot Springs excels defensively, allowing very few points while lacking a clear offensive identity.
I observe Rancho Mirage has dominant defensive metrics with many sacks and interceptions early in the season.
I believe Centennial remains an elite program despite a tough early schedule that may temporarily affect their record.
I say Hillcrest and Valley View are the reigning CIF champions and Hillcrest relies heavily on Reyes Ortiz.
I conclude Murrieta Valley needs to find an identity and may use this season to rebuild toward future success.

Reflecting on a Year of Excellence: The Varsity Vibes Season Recap
This episode provides a comprehensive recap of the spring sports season for Riverside County Prep Sports, as our inaugural season is drawing to a close, and we’re diving deep into the results of spring sports, particularly baseball, softball, and lacrosse. We kick things off with baseball, where Riverside County’s Division One team, Santiago, emerged victorious in pool play. However, Norco, a formidable contender, fell short in the finals against St. John Bosco. Next up is softball, where Norco showcased remarkable performances and reached the semifinals. They put up a valiant fight against J. Sarah Catholic but ultimately fell short. Lacrosse is another sport we’re analyzing, revealing the resilience of local teams. The boys’ team from King narrowly missed out on a championship berth. As we wrap up this episode, we reflect on the entire spring season and eagerly anticipate the fall season.
