Chino Hills had made only one previous trip to a CIF-SS championship game, losing the Division 2 final in 2015 to Mission Viejo. “It’s an amazing feeling right now. These boys have worked hard.

Chino Hills (16-8 overall, 5-1 league) moves past Etiwanda (19-3, 4-1) for first place by a half game in the Baseline League. Chino Hills has two league games remaining, while Etiwanda has three.

It didn’t work out.” Huntington Beach’s Tea Gutierrez (45) gets a hit against Chino Hills in a CIF Division 1 playoff game on Saturday.
